[C320-list] Hull #

[Jane & Ken]

A fifteen year old boat with 275 hours on the engine is really quite normal here at Lake Texoma.  My hull # 219 has only 241 hours. A lot of those few hours were logged at the dock tied up with the engine running at 2700 rpm--it takes four minutes to back out of the slip and reach the "sailing" area--then I hate to shut off the iron sail because it has not been running long enough.
p. s. The pics of the boat seem to indicate a 'very little used vessel'. Ken, OBUOY #219

Dean,

Based on past member data from the C320IA records, I believe this to be hull 369.

This might be a good resource for you for design changes over the years....

Be real careful with the info in that listing, for example:

There is no 30 hp Yanmar. The 3GM30 is 27 hp. The new Yanmars (3YM) are 29 hp.
Why only 275 hrs on a 15 year old boat? Repowered? If so why?

He has 2 drafts listed... which is correct for this boat?

He also seems to be "rounding up" your water capacity from 45 gal to 50 gal (maybe taking liberty at counting what is in the water heater?).

Looks like a clean boat, however. Good luck.
