Hello all, I picked up a 1980 Catalina 30 this spring, the boat has been sitting on the hard for about 10 years . She has been surveyed and is extremely dry:)!. What are some problem areas with this year of boat that I should pay special attention too before and after launch. ? Thankyou and looking forward to the feedback!

Read up on the Catalina smile. My brother is fixing one of these and also rudder shaft bent.

Stock lower shroud chainplates leave a bit to be desired. They sell an upgrade.
