Yes. Leading contenders now are the C28, C30, C320 (if we can find a bargain), & maybe a Pearson or S2. We're debating the less money versus more boat with ourselves right now & already have the next couple weekends devoted to looking at out of area boats.
It's hard to sell a boat after 6+ years especially when its our first "real" boat that we named. We've had a lot of good times. She's been loved & well taken care of so if you know anyone who needs a good boat please spread the word.
Of course we are all slightly biased, but when I moved up, after years of great luck with the C25, I elected to stick with Catalina. It was a good decision, can't go wrong with another Catalina.
It looks like we'll be leaving the Catalina family. Just put a contract on a 1988 Pearson 31 that's been well cared for by its current ownwer since 1996. If the survey goes well that will be our next boat. (If I win the lottery then I'll buy a C320.)
