I am considering buying a 1974 Catalina 22. This boat will need some work and I don't know if I can sell her for what I pay for her and expenses after I spruce her up.I live in Utah, for starters, where there are not many sailboats. I sail the GSL. This Cat 22 will need a bottom paint job, and it does not have a depth meter, knott meter, VHF radio or compass. The bottom does not seem to have any blisters, though. It has one main and one 110% jib.I'm thinking to add all the above items plus a storm jib and a 150% jib. It also leaks a bit in the rain and will need to have some bolts resealed. The trailer is rather rusty and will need a good sanding and paint job, but otherwise looks in pretty good shape.The asking price is $3700. I probably wouldn't pay more than $3200. My main question is, from my description, if I put all these items into the sailboat would I be able to sell it, in a few years, for what I've put into it? I've heard the Catalina 22 is a good sturdy boat so that is a plus for her.Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to me at LucyBlue@Softhome.net because I don't come here often.Thank you!Cynthia
