A LOT of good boats had leaky ports. It's a pretty common problem not
particular in the least to Catalina.
Best Catalina is the 36. Prefer it over the 34 because it's lines are a bit
sweeter. I hardly consider the S&S 38 a "true" Catalina.
The 42 is also probably one of the best coastal liveaboard deals on the market.
