nice. looks clean too, depending on when pictures were taken. and heat/cooling, that's a nice touch for the money.

Not many photos of the areas that wear and tear; but hey, you gotta put your best foot forward;)

i'd have to turn the sail cover inside out. it's a bit bold for my taste.

Seen this boat around for years though the owners rarely get out. It's right down the road from me and one pier over from
my buddy's C&C 30. Nice people that own it.. I'm sure they would give you the low down (if anyone is interested, I could
drop by the beast). This boat has done more sitting in the berth then taking a pounding in the ocean. It's got a great slip
in the best marina in Wrightsville Beach. Can't be sure how many times it's changed hands.

Bob,
Congratulations on the purchase. I've gained a lot from this forum and have been able to keep Bad Kitty in better shape from the suggestions from our group. I'm happy to have the opportunity to pass on the kindness to other new B285F owners.
Cheers,
Sam Moore

Let me join the Amen Chorus and say it's great to have another 235er join the 285er ranks. Look forward to your posts.

Great to hear yet a bit sad as well. That was the only 285 here and I liked seeing it get out every now and then. Got to sail with her a few times.

She's a sharp boat. Know you'll have fun.

Thanks all for the encuragement. feeling a bit of remorse as my 235 is in such great shape . wife says no to 2 boats i wanted to keep the 235 to race with:). i am going down sun am to measure for sails and new lifelines unless someone knows how to recoat the vinal covering ? thought about white stay covers but that might look cheesy.
does any one know the fuel filter # for the volvo 18 hp engine ? would like to replace them before the trip for haulout up the icw. i will take pictures and post this weekend
