Since I had to go out on deck anyway, I took a tape with me.  And on the s/v Marie, Niagara 35, the answer is 7 feet from the cockpit sole to the bottom of the boom....give or take a few inches depending how you like to set the sheets and the boom topping lift.

Peter,

There is a large difference between Classic and Encore prices. Classic (Mark I) designs seem to rarely hit $100k whereas nearly all Encores in decent shape are easily over C$100k. I have seem many going for C$120k+ and even a few in the C$135k range.

No problem with your message.
The listing prices at the moment seem to be "all over the map", from very low
for poor condition to over 100,000 for those in stellar condition. The last time
I looked, not too long ago, the average seemed to be between 80 and 90 thousand
US.
If I were you, I would start by making a list of years and prices listed on
Yachtworld, and any other sites you find, then find the average of those that
are near your year. To get the full list on Yachtworld, make sure that you
search Hinterhoeller, as well as Niagara 35. You can always go down in price, so
don't start too low.
Good luck
Marilyn

George, there is a N35 manual in the files section on our webpage. 
The owners' manual that we have is not specific to the Encore. I don't know if they ever created a specific Encore manual. 
Does anyone have one?

Good afternoon,
 
Thank you for replying.  The boat I'm looking at has a Westerbeke W-33.  I've seen the spec.'s for the Yanmar 40 and the Volvo 40.  The key issue in a repower is the cost of modifications to the boat to accomodate the new engine and whetehr the existing transmission can be reused.
 
Would it be possible to put me in touch with either or both of the other owners so that I might compare notes?
 
Ken Young

We chose Universal and are still working to solve our vibration issues. Not recommended. We know 2 owners who are happy with Yanmar 40s.

Hi everyone,

You can buy a plastic welding torch for around $100. It uses hot air and
as I recall runs on 120V AC.  You can buy a variety of rods for
different types of plastic. I have seen one but not used it so I don't
know how tough a vertical weld would be.  That's all I know about it so
if someone else knows more ...

Yes.  We initiated the discussion over a crack in our stbd tank.  Look in the archives for new tank sources, at considerable cost, or my Home Depot patch that is still holding after three seasons. I used flexible rain gutter patches plus a high grade sealant (Home Depot for a couple bucks).  The crack was on the outboard side of the tank and I reinforced it with styrofoam batting between the tank at bulkhead.

Hi,

I've been on before asking about sailing characteristics - stiff, tender, etc. and you've been most helpful. We are still negotiating for the 1958 Encore #211 we've spotted. The Westerbeke 33 was conpressioned tested last week. It showed 200 psi in each cylinder vs. the 370 psi that is the factory specification. So one option is to rebuild. The other is to repower.

I recall that someone had repowered with a Westerbeke, possibly a 35 or 40. Would whoever did repower or has experience contemplating repowering please let em know. I'd like to compare notes as I consider the choice of rebuild vs. repower. Thanks.

Hi Dennis,
 
Peter at HMP in Mississauga does this type of welding.
 
I have had tanks repaired and manufactured by Peter and have held up well so far.

Thanks, Dennis.  I’ll let you know when I have a solution . . . and I will have one. Henry

If you find an answer, I'd like to know too!  I certainly don't use it for a hanging locker. I suspect the anti-siphon loop valve in my case, there has been some leakage occasionally. It needs to be washed down when that happens. I may have to reconfigure the drainage to have a vent line run from the valve on top of the anti-siphon loop.

They did mine very well.

 

What can I do about an aroma in my mid-boat hanging locker above the head overboard valve?

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know I had my forward hatch refurbished (new cast acrylic, gasket, seals and knobs). Work was done by Hammerhead Nautical Systems. Very pleased with his work. Also got four pieces of cast acrylic and an installation kit to replace the fixed ports in the boat. Each port took about 5 hrs of time to replace.

Another thought I had is that the bilge needs proper ventilation. Somebody I talked to installed small computer type milliamp fan(s) to draw air out from the bilge continuously.
Has anybody else installed bilge ventilation like that (other than a main bilge blower)?

When was the last time you changed out all the hoses in your head system?  In most cases, folks haven’t ever changed them out, they become permeated, and those odors become an issue. Funny how our wives notice it first.  ;-) 

 

Normally if you replace the hoses, the smell will go away.

Henry,

 

Make sure the vented loop is working properly.  The vent on the top of the loop needs to be serviced from time to time.  Also, check that the vent line is not a clear hose. They let the smell through.

Thanks, Dan.  Some are new-ish and others are pre-five years old.  I’ll try changing the old ones. Henry.

Don't forget to check the air vent from the tank. Ours was plugged,
not with spiders but with gunk.

Also, remember to change the subject line when changing topics so that
the archives (if there eventually are any) will be organized.

Thanks to all those who responded to my engine questions. Will let you
know how things go.
