I own a 1982 Catalina 25 ..I need to know the weight of this boat because I am considering having a lift built. I don't want to over size or undersize the lift. My catalina has a swing keel with a outboard installed....thanks Larry

Cat 25 Displacement

The brochure for the Catalina 25 swing keel states that this boat has a displacement of 4,150 lbs. This is the bare boat displacement and does not count filled holding and water tanks, outboard motor, fuel tank, outboard motor bracket, anchors, tools, electronics, supplies, extra sailing gear, marine power cords, docklines, galley/cooking items, coolers, loaded icebox, items stored under berths and settees, autopilots, extra sails, boathooks, fenders, fire extinguishers, first aid kit, clothing,...etc. These extra items can easily add another 1,000 to 1,500 lbs to the stated displacement of your boat. For more information, go to the related link below which will take you to the Catalina C25/250 National Association website.

consider your next boat's weight...

Larry, I know Doctor's Lake bridge clearance is an issue, but someday you may upgrade to heavier boat or sell your home and the increased capacity might be a selling point. Might be worth pricing a 10,000# lift vs 6,000#, etc. I'm stuck on the river side due to 45' mast height. When we had a smaller sailboat, used to enjoy going to Whitey's. Sea ya on the river.
