Thanks! I have seen the review... just thought you might have some insight.
It seems like a good boat for our organization.

Dave, do you know anything about the CS 33? We're considering acquiring
one.

I don't, but there's a wealth of information about all of the CSs on the
CS
Owners' Association mailing list. The CSs are very popular in Canada, so
it
has a very active list. Sign up at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CSOA/. Once you join you can search the
archive, or ask specific questions in the group, and you're pretty sure to
get a number of responses. In case you haven't found it, there's a review
of
the boat at
http://www.closereach.com/csoa/cs33.htm.

Before buying my boat I subscribed to several lists to see what kind of
problems might be encountered with various boats. Considered the Pearson
Flyer for some time but found that integrated alternator on the BMW
diesels,
and the possibility of a wet core below the water line, created possible
problems it just wasn't worth dealing with. Had similar experiences with a
couple of other lists. Learned from the CS list to check whether the
potential purchase had been barrier coated to protect against the
potential
blisters BS mentioned.

Time looking over a boat's mailing lists is well spent.
