For what it's worth, I looked at a Catalina 27 Saturday - 1977 I think.

_Asking_ price $3500 - negociable.

It's all there - and the hull looks sound. One small soft spot on the
deck near the aft port side of the deck house.

Atomic 4 runs - pretty smooth too.

Rig _looks_ good.

But-

She's been in the water for about 10 years without much care.

The interior is bad - real bad.

The main bulkhead doesn't quite reach the floor anymore, and the front
sole is rather - well - thin?

No way I can part that one in the driveway for a year or so for a total
restoration.

But if someone has the space, time, and money, she's certainly available.

And the price, as I said, is negociable

For what it's worth... that would have to be very, very
negotiable... for all the work you'd need to do....

I kinda suspect that the price could be negociated down to about a buck
hard cash. The owner seemed quite "motivated".

But iit would take quite a pile more to put her back ship shape...

I rebuilt a Cal 20 pretty much from the hull up, and while it was a
rewarding experience, I don't think I want to do that again. g
