HELLO EVERYONE!
just picked up a 1972 Catalina 22 pop top for $400 dollars on June 23rd here is the progress so far.... I will have the maiden voyage on this boat next weekend or the following weekend so I have lots of work to get accomplished this week! I will also be heading down to Lake Shelbyville in southern Illinois to sail and anchor out for a long weekend I only have a few problems with the boat which are listed below.
1. did a float test of the boat no water is leaking in but there is a crack in the starboard Aft Gunnel once I got it in the water the crack came back together pretty much so it should not be a hard fix but I will have repaired professionally on Thursday July 12th
2. During the float test I was unable to get the Swing Keel to go down I believe the lock might be stuck - I checked under the boat the keel is in great shape no rust or corrosion the cable looks brand new as well as the winch. If I am unable to get it to release I will most likely will swim under the boat and try to get it to free up we will see fingers crossed.
3.Crack in the Starboard Lazerette needs a patch
4. broken mast at the very bottom where bolt goes through already cut and fixed
Upgrades this weekend / next week -
Running all new Led 2 nautical mile Red/green navigation lights, LED stern light, LED Mast head light with LED deck illumination, LED anchor light, new 12 V multi color Led light strips, running all new Marine Romex throughout the boat, new marine 6 switch breaker panel, will be wiring up shore power, custom mast carrier off of rudder mount / bow pulpit made out of Plastic wood,
