Hi,
Looking at purchasing a Catalina Capri 22 with a fin keel. It's already in the water, and does not come with a trailer.
Three questions:
Can I find a trailer for this used? I priced a new one, and they are over $5,000, with a 19 week wait.
It sounds like it's hard to get it on a trailer, if you have one. I am getting an equipment guy to take it out of the water and bring it to me on his trailer. But I am a newbie. Am I going to be able to manage this myself?
The only marina I found who would lift it out charges $420. Am I going to have to pay this every time I need the bottom painted? And how often do I need to do that?
Thanks in advance!
