Stopped by my dealer yesterday and looked at the 2003 C250. Major differences that I noticed are 1) the companionway hatch is now made fiberglass with a nonskid surface and a small port light (non-opening) and 2) the gas tank compartment lid is now hinged. The dealer said that Catalina is building the hull the same for either winged keel or water ballast. The shrouds are attached inboard like the wing keel.

Does anyone know if Catalina is making a special price available to those of us with the old style hatch and how complicated the installation would be? I never liked the plexiglass hatch and this sounds like a good idea.

I asked my dealer to find out if the hatch can be retrofitted.

Love the tinted lexan companionway cover. Its light and lets the moonlight in at night. Several have positively commented to me about it.

I would not want to change mine. Have not heard of any problems.

I hope Catalina looked into a new system to raise the C.B. This problem (cable snapping)is getting worse, It happened to me and every wb250 boat I run into!! Seems like it happens more than they like to acknowledge. For $25-30k we shouldn't have such an issue!!!!
I know this topic is beat up but UGH!!!!!
