[C320-list] New 320 faucet and other thoughts

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

   I don't know if the new sprayed on grey non skid is the same as my 96
c28 was, but if so it's an improvement. On my c28 it Hurt to kneel with
bare knees  on the non-skid --- but it worked !! The diamond pattern on
my c320 looked nice but I think it was useless wet or dry. I have a
diamond pattern on my NC but it's higher and sharper.... hurts to kneel
on -- but it works.

Wait till you try it with wet decks and we'll see if you feel the same
way...

Hello Bruce;

We were at the Newport show in September; where they did not have the
320
but they did have the new 30, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44  and I noticed
the
difference in the non-skid. immediately.
Example: The 40 had the rough looking skid, where the 42 had the
smooth
diamond construction like our current 320. (Which did deliver from CA
last
July)

I specifically asked why the difference: The answer was "anything
coming out
of the FL plant is now made with the rough, and anything coming out of
the
CA plant is with the smooth skid."

I also asked if we ordered the 440 could we get the smooth, even if
made in
FL plant, and that answer was NO.

Unfortunately I dislike the rough so much, that it would likely impact
my
decision to upgrade to any Catalina that comes from FL.

The galley faucet on the new 320 was made by Moen.  We've been
thinking
about replacing the faucet, that's why we noticed.   I suspect you can
purchase these at Home Depot or Lowe's but am not sure if there are
any
issues with hooking them up to the plumbing.

For the folks that spoke with Gerry Douglas at the boat show, did he
happen
to mention what was going on with the non-skid portion of the deck? 
It
looked like someone sprayed gray, non-skid with sand (or maybe larger
granules) onto it.   No where near as nice as the diamond pattern on
the
older 320's.  Maybe done that way because it was a quick build for the
show?


Did anyone get a photo of the redesigned stern?  I understand the plan
to
extend the flat deck under the stern seats but if memory serves me the
stern
had a kind of strange shape.

Overall, my wife and I had a feeling similar to seeing the 250 when it
first
came out when comparing it to the 25 we had owned for 5+ years.

Any other thoughts?

Yes - I meant to mention the kitchen faucet in my message as well. 
That
really caught my eye.

It has a nice appearance and all but what caught my eye was the
upgraded
kitchen faucet! Joe Barrett
