1982 Catalina 25 – Tall Rig, Fin Keel – Very Fine Condition -2001 Mercury 15HP Long Shaft, 2-stroke, Thru-Prop exhaust – excellent condition -CDI Flexible Furler 4 with Doyle 135 jib – new halyard, shackles, and pins -Catalina Mainsail, and Doyle jib tuned up – good condition -No trailer
This is a fine example of this classic cruiser. She has been well cared for and nicely restored. Her interior is the traditional layout with folding/stowing table - very open and airy interior. No through deck leaks; any leaky fittings have been removed, cleaned, and re-bedded. The Merc outboard has been faithfully maintained with annual sparkplug replacement, lower-unit oil replacement, and impeller replacement. This engine has never failed to start when prompted, super-reliable; truly love this engine. Merc 15 weighs 81 lbs, the same as a 9.9HP 4-stroke; so you’re getting a much better power/weight ratio with this Merc 15 than with a newer 9.9 HP 4-stroke.
She’s very solid, clean, and ready to go.
Located on City Island - in the Bronx, New York.

fitzger, Go back to the page where the forums are listed. Under Information For First Time Users, then Testing Forum, click on the listing for How to Post Photos. It's not too hard.
To be fair (and I'm a Honda fan), the Honda 9.9 weighs 98-108 lbs. depending on shaft length. 81 lbs. is a featherweight! The boat sounds like a gem! Best of luck!
