I own a 40 ft long time ago, in one Word.... Moisture meter, no kidding,
deck and
hull, if the
hull and
deck are solid and sound then is a good deal,
keel is another point to check carefully, they
core to the edge at the
keel sump área, the famous
C&C keel smile is a regular feature but to wide the gap , suspect.... bulkheads, doors closing properly, original rod
rigging is something to check carefully, its a great boat and they sail beautiful, nice hull lines ,,, i see some cruisers doing the
caribbean in the 33 , and is perfect ,, just the 6 ft keel
draft is a no no in some áreas otherwise is a great boat, Cheers....
