Thanks for the info. appreciate it greatly. Has anyone dealt with the C-head brand composting toilet? It handles the same task as the others but at half the price. And more importantly it's overall size is smaller. Which is my biggest consideration. Although after looking at your pics of the...

I have a 1970 35-2 and I'm thinking of installing a composting head. As your all aware of the 35-2 doesn't have the most spacious head area and the composting toilets are large. so i'm curious if anyone has gone this route? and if there are special considerations to be made?

Curious as to what people have used for sound proofing there engine compartments? Has anyone tried Blueboard??? The house insulation board. My engine rides in the dinette and even though the new diesel is quieter than the old Grays, I would like to knock the noise down even more. Any suggestions...

Other than the post and backrests which I believe was probably a former owners design and not factory (but I could be wrong) our boats seem very similar. I'll get some better pics of my interior and post them to see how they compare.

As you can see in this crappy photo I do have the pin rails and oval grab rails on the dinnette bulkhead but no post near the nav station???? I got the year of my boat from the broker who advertised and sold it as a 72? But since I've started trying to find out more about the boat im coming...

Well I have found a stamped number on my rudder/tiller plate. #132-35. And my mainsail # is 19766...? So im going to assume the 132 is a hull production #? Havent located any old racing results to track down that mainsail #. Any other ideas???

Thanks for the new info. I will see what I can come up with.

Well according to the Doc# my boat is a 70 and not a 72 as it was sold to me???? I found a paper showing where they officially changed the name of my boat from Cynosure to Solace in 1989. And it was recorded in the Seattle office, so this boat has been in the Northwest for a long time. The fact...

Your correct I have learned today that my HIN on all my paperwork is a CG doc. # Which I suspected earlier but when I ran that # on the CG search It came back zero??? So how does a guy with what is possibly an expired DOC number do to find out the original ERY number? Is there a plate...

I've also heard that the propane stoves create moisture and that diesel stoves smell..... Sounds like I need to drag out my duct tape and bailing wire and event a better solution...lol

diesel stove Thanks for the suggestion. My wood stove does heat up the boat quite nicely, however the soot and having to have auxiliary fans running all the time. I was wondering if anyone has placed one of those Dickenson diesel ovens in there Ericson. And if so how much trouble was it to...

35-35-2? Thanks for all the info. My boat is definitely a 35-2. However the decoder page of hull numbers makes no sense for me. Here is my HIN 527522. There are no letters anywhere. Can anyone figure these numbers out?

Hello everyone. I own what was sold to me as a 1972 Ericson 35-2. However in the year and a half I've owned her I've run into some literature that suggest it's not a 35-2 but a 35? One of these books was the hull manual used by the boatyard for haul outs. In that book my hull or should I say...

Were needing a more efficient way to heat our 35 than our wood burning stove. It's mounted too high and the back takes up alot of room in the head. I've looked into Dickenson and Sigmar heaters but was wondering about the stove/heater models since we are live aboards here in the NW. Any...

Thanks Thanks for the info. I was unaware of WM price matching???? It wont surprise me one bit if their "knowledgeable" employees are also unaware???? As they are to most things they sell. Now I need mother nature to give me a break and let the sun shine.... Thanks again for the info.
