I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't fix these things, at
least for the show boat.

I saw a C&C 99 at a boat show in Chicago. It was poorly made.
Some
of the doors wouldn't close properly.

We checked out a new C&C at the Michigan City In-The-Water Boat Show
in
August. Sadly, it appeared cheapened from earlier C&Cs and we found
similar
problems, including floor access panels poorly fit, doors that
either didn't
close or didn't stay closed, and finish mistakes on several pieces
of wood.
Externally it seemed about on par with earlier boats, but the
interior was
unattractive and poorly done. Not to mention an astronomical price
considering such flaws. C&C is resting on its laurels and doesn't
offer
good value for the money.

That's exactly what I thought. I was shocked that most of these
things could be easily fixed before the boat show.

So did we. The Beneteaus were similarly unprepared for the show.

At the last show in AC, the Beneteaus were a mess (again). The Smaller hunters
were barley together with screws missing and tables that were not fully
fastened. The larger hunters were better treated by the reps. This sort of
thing is common. I've seen at every boat show on a variety of boats.

In addition to negligence in repairing such deficiencies, the boats simply
appeared cheapened internally. Not up to typical C&C standards, IMO.

Oddly enough the Catalinas seemed as well-prepared as any boats at the MC
show. Of course the Tartans and other such upper-end boats all looked
marvelous, inside and out.

In this area (AC boat show included) the Catalina line is handled by Coney's
Marine. They tend to do a good job.

That's what I thought. I figgered they must have had bigger problems.

do they take the same boat from show to show, or use a local dealers'
boat?

Horass does the same for his boyfriend of the week.
