Hello Catalina owners. I'm interested in moving up to a Catalina 380, or 42 mkII. Does anyone know what year Catalina started using vinylester resins in their hulls?

Warning!!!!
Vinylester gelcoat does NOT guarantee blister protection. My 1999 270 (purchased new)has had it's bottom done twice. Once under warrantee and once on my own. Just FYI............... And this was in the cold, fresh water of Lake Superior! Maybe the ice caused the blisters?!?!?

Re "Why"
Hmm? You must be unaware of our race record this season. But thats because it has not been posted to the club web site yet!!! It seems to make little sense to buy a premium boat if they are going to blister and have the engines blow up worse than a cheep one. I had much less trouble with my c-27, so I'm back in the market for another Catalina. In so far as race results, our records have stayed about the same, Catalina, Irwin, or CS. Is there actually a relationship between boat type and race performance? Maybe not.
