Hi All,
I'm looking for a new boat and Catalina 27s seem like a great option!
One I've seen is a 1981 Catalina 27 with inboard Universal diesel.
A second one is a 1973 Catalina 27 with a 10hp outboard.
The second one is far away from me so I haven't seen it. Before I buy a plane ticket to go see it, I'm wondering if it would have the same cabin layout as the 1981 model? From pictures I've seen, it looks like one has a settee arrangement in the main salon and the other has two long seats across from each other, running lengthwise.
Can anyone explain why the 1981 has an inboard and the 1973 has an outboard?
What other major differences would there be between the two years?
Thanks!
