Shopping hard for a C30 MKii or MKiii. I am length limited in my San Francisco slip, and know that a MKii will fit with a small minor modification to the bow pulpit after an in person measurement. Inches do matter to my harbor master, and I don't have much to give over a MKii.
I don't have any access to a MKiii to measure and honestly really like the idea of the sugar scoop and princess stern rail seats. The brochures I seem to find online state the over all hull length did not change with MKiii with the addition of the sugar scoop swim platform.
Is it possible that the overall length of the hull as measured with a vertical plum line from the furthest point at the back of the stern to the front of the bow is really still 29'11" as on previous models or is that a typo in the Catalina brochure? That would be measured without the swim latter lowered and bow pulpit over hang, hull only.
If it truly still is 29'11", where did the space for sugar scoop come from? Was the cockpit shortened slightly?
Lastly, it appears the stern pulpit princess seats protrude or hang over and beyond the the end of the hull of the stern in pictures I see on the internet? Anyone have an idea of how much further back they hang over the stern? Less critical as stainless steel can be modified at a cost.
May seem like odd questions to some folks in other parts of the country, but I really enjoy the slip I have had for many years and getting a similar slip that is longer with the ideal location I possess may be a decade or more wait.
I appreciate any facts/answers/insight folks could share on my questions or even suggestions for finding the answers. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
