Description
Condition: Used Year: 1978
Make: Catalina


OPEN HOUSE - MUST SELL this coming weekend, July 16th and 17th. Moving to Hawaii. All offers considered. Can be seen at the Belfast City Marina in Maine. Ready to sale away. Comes with many extras, including a brand new dinghy. Was rewiring for LED lighting. The front starboard and port navigation lights still need to be changed out and connections to the switch panel, a quick and easy job for someone who is handy. Here are some of the highlights: 30' Catalina Tall Rig w/recently rebuilt Atomic 4 gasoline engine. 30 hp runs smooth and quiet. New main sail, roller furling jib, genoa and whisker pole. Tiller steering. Tiller works fine but is delaminating. A new one is $139 from "Catalina Owners" web site or $142 from Catalina Direct. 18 Gal fresh water tank, expandable to 42 gal (recommend for live aboard or blue water cruising). 20 gal stainless gas tank. Bladder style waste tank. it's an after market add-on. Not sure of capacity. Has auto pilot. New 1100 watt (2200 peak) inverter. Gimbled, two burner gas stove. Brand new Uniden VHF and Shakespear antenna. Solar panel for charging the house battery. Interior clean and neat, a very roomy boat, sleeps 7. Hull needs a paint job (dull but in good shape). I was trying to get it completed enough to get it to Florida to finish it off. Work is a LOT less expensive down south where there is more competition and the weather is warmer. If I had it to do over again I would still buy the same boat. The price range from Boat Trader for this year, model, and its condition ranges from $14K to $24K. I picked it up for $7000 on a distress sale. It had been sitting in storage for 3 years because the owners couldn't sail anymore and wanted to get out from under the storage fee. It's good to go and includes new owners/service/and parts manuals. I'm asking $6000 for quick sale, but will consider all offers. Price includes a fully equipped galley w/all new pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. Finnish up the wiring and connections and she's ready to sail away. This is a great live aboard boat for someone testing the waters for this life style.The sailing season is short here, so, I'm going to have it at a slip at the marina this coming weekend, the 16th and 17th, open to the public to come aboard and check her out. She's ready to sail away.  Did I mention that a new dinghy is included? SaveSave
