Steve, you must have gotten lucky with the fit. I have a woman with an 89 in my yard that I help with spring commissioning. I also measured her pintles and found them to be spaced differently. I guess not all Catalina's were built identical.

It's hard to account for the difference. 1988-89 models were very different from earlier models and might have used different templates. My boat was a 1981 model, and the replacement rudder that I bought was a later version balanced rudder, and it fit perfectly, so I think there was some consistency among the older models. Maybe an employee got sloppy or lazy and didn't use the template on one of the 88 or 89 boats. The C25s were production boats and theoretically should have been built using the same templates, but that doesn't mean they all were.

Might be true assuming they even used a template or it was just left up to the worker to eyeball it. Different workers through the years with each using his own method
Anything is possible.
