Nutsy,

Please explain to an old man just how; "a blend of Aluminum and mahogany
' can be any more "strangely comfortable' than a Teak interior?

Also; Still waiting to see pictures of your interior rather than Sale
Brochure. Still haven't seen that great "Aft Cabin" Your Head falls
Short of the Catalina 34's for room as I imagine your AFT CABIN does.

Now that the boat has been in your possession you should have some real
picture of Your Boat. Lets see them? Also let's see a picture of the
rest of the interior looking forward. (not sale brochures) Your pictures
taken of Your Boat

Thom, I didn't write that; Bob Perry did. Lots of people love the
Starck interior. It's regarded as one of the best Beneteau interiors
for quality. As for the aluminum and mahogany, we don't have that. We
have the more expensive version which is teak and has more wood. This
is a pic from our boat:

You can see that the wood by the steps was refinished without the high
gloss. The PO did this when he covered the steps with epoxy and
anti-skid. At 73 years old they were a bit much for him. There's hardly
a mark of any kind on the interior...not even a scratch. One section of
the sole was refinished and that's about it. The interior is a 99 out
of a 100.

BTW, those steps were perfectly straight before Bob used them.

The catalina 34 head is about 1/3 smaller than the one on the 35s5. The
cockpits are the same size and I'll prove it shortly. The Catalina 34
aft cabin is larger, but the bunk is too short for me! And my 35s5 will
sail circles around the Catalina of course.
I've posted pics of the boat, inside and out, even arriving at the
yard. I don't have a forward looking shot, but there are plenty on the
broker's site that are still up.
