[C38] I found a C38!

This is a bit odd, but when I was putting up the Mighty Quinn for the
year after 2 1/2 months of cruising the Great Lakes in Northport,
Michigan, the owner of the boat yard mentioned they had been storing a
C38 for years. I asked to see it and she is a beauty! The owner
apparently died (cancer) several years back and she has been sitting
here. Her license is 2002, but I understand she may not have even been
in the water that year. I could not get to the hull identification
number, but she has self-tailing winches which I think puts her in the
late 80's. As you can see, she has been stored inside and her bottom
looks great.
I asked the boatyard if it was ok to talk this around and they thought
that was ok. The marina is Northport Marina and I can report they are
very good (they store 300-400 boats a year and did an excellent job
handling my boat). Anybody interested in a boat that is fairly new and
was stored inside for the majority of its life?
