Hey i just purchaced a 1970 Catalina 22 Hull Number 174 with 5 sails,(3 jibs, 2 mains one brand new main never sailed) the origional 1970 8HP Evinrude. The boat can be sailed in as is condition. It needs minor repair ie. Teak refinishing, swing keel maintaince, no trailer. The motor runs strong. It needs minor cosmetics, hull paint (yes i said paint!! blue) safety lines, winch for the swing keel, nut no holes or blistering in the hull. How do you guys think i did on this deal? I gave up a 1960's wooden 15' Lark for it so i hope i will be happy with a fiberglass boat. I plan on starting a web site on it at some point. If your curiouse about anything on it leave a message. I am curiouse how good i did cause most of the boats sell for alot more. Thank you Scott.

Good Job !

Sounds great to me, you will have a ton of fun fixing it up and if you are looking for a owners manual you might contact the folks at Catalina Direct. The cost is just $ 7.50 and it's loaded with all kinds of tips and goodies you can add to your boat if you want . It's all geared to only Catalina 22's and 25's . So let us know how you are doing and of course don't forget the pictures , before and after. :) Dave LaPere

whatta deal

I paid $2800 for my 1977 C-22, in 1997. I've put about $2000 more into it, just upgrades. Mine is painted too: good paint, sloppy job. It is in otherwise really good condition. If yours is in as good shape as mine, you got a great deal!

Better Deal

Well you got a good deal you say? We bought a 1980 Cat 22 (1 owner) for $1700. The boat was in very good shape. Minor cosmetics and hull paint and refinishing the keel and she is the envy of hunter onwners in our part of the world. Yeah, you got a good deal. You know it now so does the rest of the world. Just get out and start enjoying it!
