hey bob, how many times did C&C fail? How many
times did they go under?

Are you asking about failed boats like the Mega or financial troubles for C&C
in general.
Either way, C&C is a very famous builder, well respected for a great many
designs. Express was a spinoff that failed for a variety of reasons: Price was
one. Lines were another....I think the hard edges of the Express were too harsh
for many and while the Express looks C&Cish, I don't think it's as attractive.
Below decks C&C was doing a very nice job in the mid 80s and the Express did
not win over many people below decks, especially families.
If C&C was Happy Days, then Express was Joanie Loves Chachi. Or...If C&C was
Alice, then Express was Flo, or...if C&C was Sean Connery, then Express might
be Roger Moore...or...If Express was Picard, then you can bet that C&C is
certainly James T. Kirk.

There.
