BTW the 35s5 that was in our marina is gone, sold to
Florida. The owner has a new Jeanneau now, which he and his
wife both like a lot better (although they haven't had it
for more than a few months).

I'm sure if we bought a new Jeanneau I'd like it better too.

Sorry for the typo. Should have said new-er. It's not a
brand new boat, in fact it's a model they don't make any more.

.... Just about
every 35s5 I looked at has sold since we bought ours, including the one
that had the mast dropped on the deck...and that boat sold for 56K.

They say there's one born every minute.

BTW #2 if you're "brokering" boats in the NYC area then you
should know something about this boat.

Face it, the 35s5 is a offshore capable boat, proven to be so. The C&C
is a racing toy...nice, but crippled by certain design points.

There's a website for a 35s5 that circumnavigated with a stock boat and
someone on the Beneteau list has done it as well.
No circumnavigations for a Catalina 28, but the Catalina 27 has done
it.

Oh, you broker some boats in New York City? You must know about every boat for
sale there.

Oh, I thought you liked looking things up in the phone book.

Besides, unless you are Bobsprit, I wasn't talking to you.

If you mean the mid 90's Jeanneau's, they're great. We had a few on our
list, but they just weren't to be found. We have a couple at my club
(one with a teak deck) and they appear to be nice boats for the money
with good performance. A Jeanneau could be in our future for a
liveaboard.

Yep, former boat of Sherry Carter's who's husband Glen died last
season. She's finally selling it and will let go for cheap. The engine
was replaced two years ago with a rebuild, but she doesn't know it
because it blew when he was aboard with Sylvia Wilkenson, Sherry's half
sister who was once a Rockette for 2 seasons. I'm not pointing any
fingers, but the engine fried after a grounding and Sherry never new
the engine was swapped. You do the math.
The boat is generally solid, though there are a lot of stress cracks in
the cockpit-common for that model. There are also some cracks at the
step due to an overtuned rig, but that happened before Glen had it as
he was a rigger for Shore Inc. before they went under. The interior is
nice, bad bad coffee stain on the starboard settee. Someone etched
their name into the aft-starboard port, which is plastic. Glen tried to
get rid of it with a red-hot butter knife blade and made a mess of it.
It needs to be replaced as it leaks anyway.
I refused the boat for brokerage because Glen got drunk aboard Ghost 5
years ago and got fresh with one of the girls half his age. I felt it
would be wrong to make money on it after that distasteful event and
Sherry is rich from her Home Depot shares anyway.
Hope this helps.
