    Re: anyone know the 45c Virgina down in Fla?

    Thanks madhatter1. I'd be willing to look at them, but there's only 1 avail that I've seen and it was repowered with a mack engine. good engine, but tough to get support for a mack down on the water.

    Painted interior always is a warning sign of a sinker. There is no such thing as a salvage title for a boat. I’ve seen a lot of sinkers in their slips that were raised and flushed out and you’d never know but the interior wood always holds the secrets. Not saying it was but warrants further investigation.

    Always?

    I've seen lots of very nice Hatt's which have been painted or otherwise lightened up, many of which belong to members here. It makes the boat feel much larger than with the dark wood. I haven't been on a Series II 45 that I recall, but I don't think that's painted. If it is, they did a very thorough and fine job.

    The sofa is hideous, but to each their own. Hours are good and everything else looks good. I'd say it's definitely worth a look.

    Well, it doesn't matter anyway. The admiral does not like the interior color, at all. So much for that.

    Anyone know of a 45c series 2 (84-92) with the original aformosia interior? Preferably with front windows, not glassed in?

    Yes always a WARNING sign to investigate further. My experience has been interiors get painted to hide past sins.

    I'd think a bit about the windows. I've had both. Much prefer glassed in. The windows tend to leak and crack, and the sun seems to be magnified thru them. I glassed over the windows on my 43 and bought my 45 as the "palm beach" style with no factory fwd windows.

    Bob, do you have the light ash or standard aformosia interior? I want to see what the light ash interior looks like if anyone has one up in New England.
    thanks

    You could always repaint the interior to a different color or white/off white.
