Catalina 30 mkI Victoria, British Columbia
Elysium, what motor do you have, I have a universal xp25, best I can get is about 5.4 on a extendo prop...
I've got a Yanmar 3YM20. It was installed in 2008. I switched over to the Campbell Sailer as it came highly recommended and I have seen comparable Catalina 30's walk away from me with one.
So far I have tested it out twice - glass calm (marginal current) I was able to do 6.1kts at 3000RPM, and then under reasonable current and winds I was doing mid 5's. Both were while towing a heavy Walker Bay RIB with a 7.5 on it, so I am quite happy!
Still, it's going to take a loooooong time to recoup the cost of the prop. But that's OK.

too many new things to mention but the one I really like and use is the swim platform and it also work well as a dingy platform.

The platform was from Plasteak and the brackets was done at a welder shop from stainless steel. If I remember about $ 700 total. Oh swim ladder was bought off Ebay. 4 step pull down.

Catalina 30 Port Sanilac
Sweet set up, you don't happen to have the dimensions of the platform do you? I see you have the under platform ladder. How is it putting it back up and deploying?
