Trading a Catalina 22 for a Catalina 25

[Jack]

I am interested in fee back regarding trading my 1983 Catalina 22 for a 1983 Catalina 25. My 22 is in great shape. There are no leaks, the teak is finished and look great, the boats gel coat look great, I wax every spring and fall, I have a new bimini, the interior is like brand new. The 25 footer I am looking at is the same year. It hasn't been cleaned in a while. The teak needs to be removed and completely refinished. I haven't seen the interior but was told that it's in good shape.It will take a lot of elbow grease to claen up. I wanted to know what you think a fair dollar amount would be. My boat and $X amount. Thanks,Jack

2- 3 grand

your boat would sell for 2 - 3 k and the 25 would go for 4 - 5.That is unless there are any major issues like deck rot or washed out sails.BUT if your dealing with a dealer you'll get less. He has to add in his time to sell your boat and his profit. A 24 year old Catalina is not in big demand. They build tons of them!
