My wife has always wanted to learn to sail, and have a sailboat, this
one seems to fit us, and is trailerable. I know bass boats, not
sailboats, so please take a look. I went and looked at it, and for
it's age, it's immaculate. He acts as he'll come down a little.
Thanks.


I suppose the link would be a good idea, sorry!

A well known brand name and lots around. (although not so much in my
area)
The price is very reasonable.
With a weight of approx 2500 unloaded and a trailer weight of at least
600
lbs, a vehicle capable of towing 3500 could be maxed out.
You may want to join a club with a mooring rather than trailering/rigging
this boat.
Did the guy say the trailer was custom or homemade?
I think I'd pay the $200 or so for a survey before
buying.http://www.sailboatowners.com/review...0&brand=Catali...


Thanks for the advice.


You know... as I think about this, if your wife is the one anxious to sail,
I'd run out and buy a sailboat before she changes her mind. ;-)


Exactly my thinking!
