Just one thing I want to mention that doesn't really get talked about that much.
If your boat has a tabernacle (if it has a mast in two pieces to make lowering it easier) make sure the short (lower) part of the mast is secured to the cuddy roof somehow. The first couple of times I singlehandedly lowered/raised the mast, iwhen that part was not secured it would ride up all the way out and the result would be that I would drop the mast.
A couple of times, I stuck a wooden wedge in where the mast goes through the cuddy roof but someone posted that they put a pipe clamp cushioned by a piece of rubber from the inside against the cuddy roof . That's the ticket and it's permanent.
Enjoy your new boat.
