We recently took two pop-top,standard rig, C-25 swingkeel boats and made one good one. Parting out the 1979. Its hull was tired and had some blistering. The boat is located in upstate NY near Saratoga Springs. Just PM me with offers and the large stuff would likely need to be picked up as it would be hard to ship.
Available and in good condition:
Bow Stainless Railing/Pulpit Stern Stainless Railing multiple stainless side stanchions Mast with stays alcohol stove Complete Pop-top assembly with hatch(minus teak) One single speed Lewmar standard winch (one was broken) One Newer Style Catalina Electrical panel Spinnaker Pole Traveler car C-25 SK Boat Cradle
Lots of small items and hatches so personal message me if you want anything before she goes to the landfill.
I will be traveling the next few days but can provide pictures on my return. Thanks! Doc Martin
This particular boat had he interior lights switched out, so no plastic lighting. Yes boom is available separately. The newer style electric panel i could not find on Catalina direct so I will need to take a photo and post. Is there a trick to uploading photos to the forum? I would've included a few?
I'd be interested in the newer lights. Are they LED's ? I need to replace all the interior lights on my new to me 1986. Most of the lights work, but the bulbs have rusted into place so I can't change them out.

Since you may end up replacing the old fixtures anyway, try soaking the metal base of the bulbs and the socket in WD40, PB Blaster, or something similar. Then break the glass bulb, take a pair of needle nose pliers, grab the inside and outside of the base on one side, and twist the base to see if you can get it to come loose. Twisting the metal base with the pliers will tend to collapse the metal base inward and pull it away from the socket. Eventually it should come free.
Worst thing that can happen is you have to buy new fixtures!
Just be sure the power is off before you attempt any of this.
You might want to create a spread sheet with all items, even small stuff such as the accordion doors, drawers, etc, so you can sent out to interested parties.

The Hull Went off to the Landfill. Someone had called requesting the Anchor Locker, but unfortunately the boat yard folks forgot to remove it. Sorry for that.
Any chance you have the forward starboard side stanchion. Also might be interested in that mast. And if you have that mentioned spreadsheet I would love to have a copy.
