Need a trailer for '78 Catalina 22 fixed keel

[prayermama]

Please help!

I just received a DONATED 1978 Catalina 22 fixed keel sailboat for my nonprofit to use to help teach disadvantaged kids how to sail and I need to move it from where it is now to our lake here in Marble Falls, Texas.

I am new to sailing myself and the donor, although he can sail, does not know if the fixed keel is a wing or fin.

I have found just ONE fixed keel trailer near Lake Travis (where the boat is) here in Texas. But it's expensive and even if our nonprofit could afford it I am not sure if this fixed keel trailer is set up to carry both the 36 inch keel and 48 inch keel.

If it's a 1978 Catalina 22 which fixed keel is it most likely to be, the 36 inch or 48 inch? And where could I find a trailer to rent/borrow for a day or get donated??

I hate to just walk away from this fun boat that could do so much for the kids I am trying to help.

is it a one time move?

I could haul it one time, but I won't sell mine.

There is a guy near carlos and charlies that moves boats around the area all the time, but I don't have his name.

Call the Austin Yacht Club

I seem to remember a number of C22s there.

I know somone here who would be happy to loan his and I'd love to make a road trip back to Austin to move it for you, I just wish I had the time.

Yes it is a one time move.

But, this 78 Catalina 22 is a "fin" fixed keel so it's the 48 inch keel and would not work with a wing keel trailer.

Do you have the trailer for this?

I would be more than happy to pay for your gas and buy you lunch at our destination, River City Grille on Lake Marble Falls. We also have a few other experienced people who have offered to volunteer their time getting the boat out of Lake Travis and helping get it into Lake Marble Falls.

My email is playinstitute@gmail.com. I can send you a copy of our IRS determination letter along with other info and testimonials/references.

Anxiously awaiting your reply!

txtoman Can You Help Me Move The Fin Keel '78 Catalina 22

 

[prayermama]

Thanks Rick!

Rick I hope TXTOWMAN can help me but I wanted to thank you for your insight as well.

I have tried everything I can find including the info you sent.

The problem is the 48 inch fin keel. No one has a trailer for it.

We are a nonprofit so we are trying to get someone to help us for a day with their trailer...we just can't find one to begin with.

I'm down in the Corpus area, but if you can get someone down here to help me get my boat off my trailer, you are more then welcome to borrow it for the weekend to move the boat. I just purchased a 1971 fixed keel Catalina this past weekend and the boat is kinda cockeyed on the trailer, So I may need some help getting it off. I think I have a place I can keep it while you use it though. I emailed you.
