The 34XL that we are taking has a beautiful interior. But the plush interior is
a bit silly with it's leather cushions. The owner says they've never been a
problem and there's two set's of custom sheets for all berths that were never
used. Still, I can't imagine that this is a good idea, so I plan to spend on a
second set of "standard" cushions. Before I spend 2.5K, does anyone have a
thought on this? Am I too worried about the leather?

Is this leather as in Biker Leathers, or Corinthian Leather, or synthetic, such as
UltraSuede?

You know, I wasn't sure, nor is the owner. It smelled like leather,and the
order form only says "C&C Leather." There was a Mercedes leather that wasn't
leather either. But a few people told me that real leather was an option. It
sure looks nice.

Uhmm, have you seen it? If its UltraSuede it has a suede finish and is fairly soft and
thin. Although it looks like suede, its an industrial strength fabric. We have an
imitation, SensaSuede, in a light color. After a one year trip with a 5 year old and
three cats it needed a cleaning, but otherwise is as good as new.

The Mercedes imitation leather is very good, but not as good as the real thing (an option,
of course) - but that's a polished finish, not suede.

In any case, I don't know why you would spend money on more cushions unless there's a
problem with the first. Or are you planning on flipping this boat in a year?

It's unlikely that I will keep the newest C&C for more than 3-4 years. I'm
thinking of buying an old Yawl or Schooner down the road. Alberg 37 Mk II Yawl
is on my list. A beautiful boat.

Has to be ultra suede. Leather on a boat that hadn't been drenched in =
mink oil or some other type of preservative would be green with mold =
each spring...and C&C's are not known for their classy interiors but for =
their functionality. Bobby dreaming again....

Loco, is there no end to your ignorance. C&C 34XL interiors are not all
original. Tomorrow I'll know the answer.
