Hello all,
I have been gunkholing in my E 35 for the past 4 years out of Vancouver B.C. I want to start doing some offshore crusing between here and the Queen Charlottes in the next couple of years. How will this boat handle open ocean conditions? I would like to replace the wooden hatches with watertight aluminum hatches. Is there any aftermarket companies that make these or is it a do it yourself job? Also do the glass portlights need to be replaced with something stronger? What are the drawbacks of the deck stepped mast in a offshore crusing boat? Thanks in advance for any info.
