The HC33 is by far my favorite boat. Strong, classy lines, and teak galore.

Yes, well it's not totally unrealistic dream. I'm looking for a 33 footer. There's a really nice one for sale in Annapolis, MD for $79K which is cheap compared to the rest and is in great shape. I'll have that much saved for the boat by the time I retire from the CG.

On my 40, I replaced the original pump with a Rule 2000 and a check valve. The original pump would always lose its prime. The engine bilge does not drain into the main bilge in case of an…"

Single bilge pump and standing water in engine compartment
I'm brand new to this group and almost a new owner of a 2008 Beneteau 43. I have spent time reading nearly every discussion and post in this group in preparation for making the offer and understanding the boat. It is clear that this group is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help. I hope I don't overstay my welcome with questions...Here is my first one and it came up during the pre-purchase survey.
