After owning C25 #4488 for a number of years, in 2004, I bought C 320 #442. Unfortunately, as much as I hate to, I must now sell her. As most know, these boats come equipped with a great many features as 'standard.' A brochure with basic information can be found on the web site (http://www.catalinayachts.com/yachts.cfm?act=model&id=79). The options that have been added to this boat are: marine heat/air, dodger, cover package (main, bimini, winches), half inch tinted poly doors, custom screens for the door and hatches, custom helm seat, 12 CD AM/FM radio, VHF radio, TV combo, four Pella fans, windlass, Magma grill, set of Yanmar tools, stuffing box wrench, complete set of cockpit cushions, and lots more including engine spare parts.

Engine hours: 410. Location, eastern Oklahoma.

Although in Oklahoma, this boat has not been subjected to the sun most Oklahoma boats have. It is in a slip that is one slip from the end on the northeast corner of a dock containing big houseboats. With houseboats and their huge covered slips on it's south and west sides, as the sun moves from east, around to the south and west, the boat is in the shade a great part of the day. Of course paste waxing ever other year helps as well.

Price: $69,500.

Wish you were in CA! I would love to have a 320. That's a great boat. Sorry to hear you have to sell her.
Good luck,
Steve A

I'm planning on retiring next year and my wife tells me that I'd have to work a few more years if i boaught a bigger boat. You are sorely tempting me.

What do you think the shipping charges would be to northern Michigan?

I can't really answer your question, however, I bought the boat in Dallas, and it cost $1,700 (just checked my paperwork...gave an incorrect number to Steve in an earlier email)... for a bottom job and transport to Lake Tenkiller in eastern OK. It was done by Cummings Marine, and my statement did not break down the cost of the bottom job versus transport cost. They pulled it with a one ton diesel dually pickup. The dealer (Inland Sailing Center) said any Catalina larger than the C320 would require a larger truck (and more expense).

Just checked your bio, I'm retired Army, too, and sail solo virtually all of the time.

During my all-winter boat search we looked at several C320s. We weren't sure what we wanted, and everyone said "buy bigger, because you'll want want it later." Although we ignored their advice and went for a C250, and we're thrilled with it for the daysailing we do on a river with strong currents, we LOVED the C320. You're just selling it a few years too soon for us.

I did a little research, and this outfit comes highly recommended, they are sailors and only move sailboats: http://www.leslietransportandservices.com/

I talked to Derick, the owner, today and he said the best way to get an accurate estimate would be to send him an email with all the specifics. The easy part of the estimate is the to/from distance, other information he needs include: will he decommission/recommision the boat at their marinas, at the new marina will it go in the water or on the hard, names and phone numbers of pick up and drop off marinas (apparently some have fees for him to come on their property to work), type keel (fin/wing), etc.

He said the "typical" move is between $1,500 to $2,500.

His phone # is (615) 456-9069.

I'll second that Derick and his crew have a very good rep here (they're local for us) and I recommended them on another thread. He told me that he designed the trailer they use (has it's own crane for stepping/unstepping the mast).

You can list it at http://catalina.sailboatowners.com/ for 60 days, unlimited number of words, for $1...I think they said it goes on 12 or 13 web sites (Hunter, Beneteau, etc). They give you an outline to fill in, makes it easy. Pics cost more.
