I be it's the one where the owner
couldn't afford to have the yard replace the keel bolts, so he tried to
do it himself and botched the job.


Keelbolts on the mid 80's Catalina 34, Doug? Catalina had long switched to SS
bolts by then and problems of that nature are rare in models after late 70's.
Maybe you can expose more of your boat ignorance, Doug. Do try!
Nice boat. What makes Doug angry, folks, is that his wife wouldn't allow a nice
big sailboat and he ended up stuck with a trawler. Think I'm making it up?
Search Alt.Sailing.Asa and see for yourself.
Even a modest Catalina 34 drives Doug nuts.
