Ok Rich. Your right, First offense. The underline topic is shopping a 35-2.

It's a very good design. One thing I like is the V profiled bow that slices the waves and doesn't slam like my 33 mkII or other more recent C&Cs. I don't know the equipment nor the condition of everything, but if the condition of the boat is good, which is the no 1 priority for a boat that age and if it's the boat that suits you, the price is not bad. Cnd $ is cheap money! But don't fall in love, inspect the boat and go for a sea trial. If all the lights are green, then go for it and in a year you should not regret paying a few thousands over what you wanted for the boat you wanted... if you keep it for a while. I'm a cheap Canadian sailor, but I paid what I considered a high price for my boat few years ago. But to me she's worth it and we love our boat.

The older layout is spacious, but quite different from anything I've seen in this size. Just got back from viewing it, and it's been well used, and cruised all over. Lots of custom mods that need to become firewood asap, wood dodger, wood topped bimini with two radar domes, etc. If I'd seen this 4-6 months ago when I had time to do the work, I might consider it a challenge, but I think it would take me a month just to strip all the crap off of it and fill the holes! It's a donated boat at SALTS in Victoria, so they will spend the time to clean it up, and it will probably look ok by then, but I hope to be sailing before that happens. Had another look at the C&C 35 on the way, took some more photos, and still didn't see anything too scary, but the issue with the prop shaft is another one to put on the list, along with the ugly hard dodger (although it is well built), the hastily built solar panel "arch", and a few other items I'd want to change. Essentially, even we get a chance at the boat, it may be that the value to us is lower than what he's prepared to accept. He has been trying to sell it for a year though...

Pretty roomy for a 35 of that era but you are right, the layout is not for everybody. I don't know your program, BUT the Niagara is painful and does terrible angles upwind. It's just a different sailplan compared to a C&C. Good luck. Bruno.

According to the specs, the boat has a 1" shaft with a 3 blade bronze prop. There is a spare 2 blade elliptic with shaft. What I am not sure about is whether this photo is with the 3 blade or 2 blade prop. I suspect the 2 blade prop and shaft are from the previous A4 engine. I will definitely want a surveyor to inspect this closely, and will of course do a sea trial at all engine speeds if/when the time comes. Today, I'm off to look at a Niagara 35, with a melon sized dent in the keel. Mostly for curiosity, as the unusual early interior in this 1980 model is not well suited for a couple, given the lack of a proper double, except in the salon. I quite like the later Encore layout in this boat though, but they usually sell for more than we can afford.

It was necessary to move the prop aft and get hull clearance when repowering and going to a larger prop. No sense in putting in a large engine if you can't put that horsepower into the water effectively. I was able to do it because I went from a 7/8" shaft to a 1 1/8" diameter. Cheers, Russ ex- Sweet, 35 mk1 At 09:03 PM 4/11/2019, you wrote: I just noticed what appears to be a fairly long extension of the prop shaft beyond the support on the 35-2 pictured here: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=168876&d=1524980874 It looks like there is at least 12" of shaft beyond the support before the prop, and bit less between the hull and the support. I recall reading a survey on a boat I was considering where the surveyor commented on excessive prop shaft extension as a possible cause of vibration. As this boat has a VW diesel (not sure of the transmission), I am wondered if the shaft might be too long. How does this compare with other 35s? -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
