Hello,
I'm considering purchasing a new Catalina 275. I recently got a quote back from the local dealer which had all of the pricing on it with available options. Everything they priced was close to my expectations except the standard diesel engine. That was a price adder of $17,633?!
I told the dealer that I was stunned by that price and they said they were too. I could buy a new economy car for that price or a nice used car. Could someone help educate me on why this is so expensive?
I checked and I can get a 10 hp outboard for around for around $3500. I would mainly sail on a lake so unless there is something I don't know I would just use an outboard motor and save myself about $14,000.
Thanks for your help. This is the only active Catalina 275 community I know of so I may ask some more questions as my wife and I consider this.
