I had a 88 Catalina 30. Very nice boat. Easy engine maintenence. Never
had a problem with bilge water.

I just learned that the Catalina 30 has it diesel engine located
amidships.
I do not know if this is the best location. Some people are saying that it
is the best location for weight distribution. However, that may leave the
engine more vulnerable to salty bilge water and sound insulation may be
difficult. Any idea if this is correct
