I just sold my Hunter 33 and am looking at a 2005 Catalina 387. Looking for information on the good, the bad, and the ugly on this model to help me make up my mind. Anything would help.

Don, I was going through the same process a year ago when we were looking to buy our boat. I posted an e-mail (similar to yours) in the C380 Yahoo group under the title "due diligence questions." You might search for that and the responses I received - there was some helpful information. This may seem obvious but I would not buy a C387 if you are a passionate racer. We race casually on Friday nights and we do OK but she can't point as high as our competitors and she has too much mass for light air. On the other hand, she takes wind and waves without batting an eye, so she is a fantastic cruising boat.

We sold our Hunter 33 and purchased a Catalina 387. The Hunter 33 was a fantastic boat and we miis sailing her. The Catalina is also a fantastic boat and we are very happy with the new purchase.
