Buying a Catalina, loved my weekender. Sails etc. included. yellow and white, not bad at all, but no perfect woodbuilder boat. No leaks to speak of. Sail away condition.

Only real need is plugs, which the holes I created after it rained on me heavily. Been generally garage kept. Sailed it say 15 times. Needs some subtle to gee whiz projects to make ideal, but truly not bad. Make offer. Live in Franklin, TN.

I have a reasonably good converted bass boat trailer worth say $500.

I'd be glad to send pics, but probably only makes sense for folks in the area.

merrimange,

please send pictures if you can I'd like to see what the boat looks like.

Why did you drill holes to get the water out?

bailing most of it out then using a large sponge would have been much better.

did the plywood start to delaminate from the water?

Sorry for the delay out of town. No delam at all. I simply got beam to the wind when a microburst hit and scared me to death, flipped over and I then righted the boat. Took on a good deal of water. 2 hours later, I drilled a plug as I didn't have one in the transom. Been garage kept, just need a heavy keel boat. Old saying is so true, rain before wind, better go in, ( Not to mention the 12 year olds in sunfish who caused me to go in irons).
