I have a thread going over on the MoyerMarine Forum - am posting here to tell Neil about what all I've done to my c30 since last Spring. My ID over there is 'Persistence'. I already posted the engine related upgrades and problems on MM so will go on to the boat parts.
New Mains'l, Fresh Topside primer and paint from WM (primer filled in all those little hairline cracks nicely) Changed deck non-skid color from 70's green to pale gray - looks much better, new main halyard (this part involved a 40' ladder and was pretty exciting), PO had re-upholstered interior cushions with a nice velour type cloth - looks nice, lots of little parts like blocks, shackles etc, cockpit cushions, and thats about it - not a lot really for a boat I've used 2x/wk all summer. I pulled it out recently to paint the hull (PO had fixed some spots with gray bondo that sort of stands out) and do bottom job and try to fix whatever is going on with the drivetrain/engine. I was amazed the bottom was in as good shape as it was. It's been in the water for 7 yrs straight with no bottom maintenance. The pix below show the difference a power washing made.
