Last year I bought a 1988 30 which was in exceptional shape. The one thing that bothers me about this boat is the steering. To me it is vague which contributes to over steering. My previous boat, a Hunter 28.5, was much more responsive and I really liked the handling. I know that the Catalina may not be quite as responsive but changing the internal sprocket to more teeth would allow for quicker steering. Has anybody done this on their 30? I really like the boat otherwise and am very happy with my purchase.
