My partner and I just discovered a what appears to be a very clean one with a nice layout. Use of the boat would be lots of day sails in South Florida, and trips to the Bahamas. This one has a 6' draft.

Does anyone have an opinion on this model or C&C in general? It's not a heavy duty boat at 15,000 lbs displacement and has a cored hull.

I'll sit back and listen for your opinions now.:chaser

Well built boats that have stood the test of time. Friends have one from the early eighties that looks new, they enjoy the boat greatly.

In my opinion C&C made awesome boats. Some are better than others.
The 37+40 is nice in that it has an aft cabin and is a fast boat that sails well. It is not without it's problems though.
Any cored boat that is pushing 30+ years old will have some core issues.
Hire a good surveyor and pay the money to have it looked at closely. If you plan on keeping it for a while it will be money well spent.
Find a surveyor who is familiar with C&C construction and has a good reputation with excellent credentials.
Do you have a link to the boat for sale?

I like the C&Cs from those years. Fast, well built and pretty. The 6 foot draft may be an issue for the Bahamas.
