Unused boats do not wear out. Boats that sit out of the water for 10
yrs do not get boat pox.
Next time, think before you post.
None of us here expect any boat of yours to get any wear.

Hmmmm. I wonder why my former C&C 32, which sat on land with no care at
all for 10 years had none of these issues...or any issues.
I also wonder why my Pearson 30, which also sat for 6 years with no
care had no issues whatsoever.

Ask a good surveyor and they'll tell you sailboats to avoid like the
plague:
US Yachts
Ticon
Chrysler (Ticon bought molds)
O'Day (not all of them)
Seidelmann....the only boat to rival US Yachts on the garbage meter!
Hunter (Not all of them)
Goman Express
Macgregor

No manufacture has had a bigger blister (pox) problem than Beneteau.

Ask a good surveyor and he'll tell you that each individual
boat is different from the next, even if from the same mfg..
That is why you get a boat surveyed!

Right, according to mono-brain cell Scotty Potty, poor design and
construction for a given model won't play a hand!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! Scotty you own total trash. Make all the excuses for
it you want. The only thing that sad boat deserves is pitty. Sadly it
got YOU!

BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!!!

What kind of whacko keeps yelling that he "loves his boat?"

The kind who really needs people to believe it...because he doesn't.

Rob:

Every year of sailing for me equals two for you because our season in
Florida is all year long. Furthermore, as a boat broker, you ought to
know that boats in Florida are subjected to considerably more aging
than boats uip north simply due to the heat and greater UV (if you dont
know this, you need a different job). Consequently, I normally see
many more worn out boats than you. My attitude toward boats is like my
attitude toward my truck, I believe in automotive and boat immortality.
An old boat is never beyond repair, its simply a matter of degree.
All the things you described about the boat are simply due to wear and
not to design flaws. The boat may have design flaws but you failed to
mention any. For example, the CDI furler was not standard equipment on
the boat so cannot be mentioned as a design flaw. As far as that goes,
newer CDI furlers have bearings (mine does). If you are going to say a
particular boat design is crap, at least say why instead of
justmentioning normal wear. Your judgement seems impaired.
