[C38] Westerbeke 35b

Sun Feb 9 18:19:59 EST 2020

Thanks Everyone for the responses. Glad to hear that that Westerbeke will fit,  the price is excellent, and the higher horsepower is very attractive.  I think I will take the plunge and go for the repower.

Through Warren Pandy (service manager at Catalina Yachts) we discovered that the paint company AwlGrip has their color chart wrong.  In chart Navy Blue is lighter than Royal Blue.  As you may know Navy is darker than Royal.  Partridge re-painted it Navy Blue but he charged me $5.000 to correct mistake.
