Default Fast Boats and the REAL WORLD


Boob, you keep harping about the same bull****.

Are you sure it's not because of the fact that she has a high
quality steering system beyond the Express 35?

I f that gear driven steering system is the end all why don't more
builders use it? FARR doesn't use it and they would use anything that
would add to increased performance or feel. The new line of C&Cs don't
use it and they are trying to make a high tech statement. There are
more......want me to go on.

Are you sure it's not because the ports of the 35s5 are actually
watertight and don't pop out Express style???

Never happened on my boat or any other Express that I know about.


Could it be because the 35s5 has a place for two tall adults to
sleep?

Get a tape measure and check the bunks in a Express 35.

Swim platform?

LOL.............

Larger icebox?

Do you plan on fixing Thanksgiving dinner? Do you know the cu ft
of the Express icebox?

Proper sized wheel?

Yea, each boat has the proper sized wheel for it's cockpit. What's
your point?

No wood used in chainplate connection?

So what did Beneteau use ...... fiberglass with no core?

Better ventilation?

How's that Bub?

It's so funny that you use Farr and C&C...two modestly priced boats.
Why don't you do some research and see who is using the Whitlock
system. It costs almost 3 times more than cable based. It's also about
3 times more reliable.

Never happened on my boat or any other Express that I know about.


LIAR ALERT. Steve had a 30 that needed it's windows redone with Plexus
and made a webpage about it! It's a COMMON problem for the Goman and
C&C boats. The glue in port system sucks and is not a good way to go. I
know first hand as my yard just did several C&Cs with the problem as
well.

Get a tape measure and check the bunks in a Express 35.

Why? I got the measurement from the Canadian review of the 35. Are they
lying?


Swim platform?


Yeah, no one likes a swim platform...unless they have one.


Do you plan on fixing Thanksgiving dinner? Do you know the cu ft
of the Express icebox?

Well....the review says it's too small and I compared at Yachtworld
when a Express 35 was for sale and it's a 3rd smaller than the 35s5.

The wheel of the Express looks like a toy, "right size" or not.


So what did Beneteau use ...... fiberglass with no core?

The Beneteau First series chainplate anchor is a solid stainless steel
T-bolt in a massive solid glass and epoxy covered bulb that is part of
the hull. Talk to a sailboat surveyor and ask them about it. It's the
best in the business and virtually industructable-designed to last
forever compared to the Express chainplates which are afixed to
BULKHEADS! They won't last forever and are vulnerable to leaks.

You sure know boats, Sloco!
