Been a power boater for 45 years and now have more sailboats than I know what to do with. Got the Cat 25 about 6 or 7 weeks ago, the bottom was a mess. Barnacles 3" thick and more blisters than you could imagine.

Saturday I happened across a '76 Cat 27 that was in fairly good shape and ready to sail so we took delivery Sunday in Fort Myers Beach, FL and (no wind) motored the 35 miles north to Punta Gorda, FL 16 hours later we were standing on dry ground.

Yesterday I found a Hunter 23 on a trailer.

Anybody want to buy a Sailboat?

Three boats in one week?!? you can't be married. Or maybe its that she's on vaction or something. SWMBO would kill me. Actually she would kill me, and then she would kill me again. Then she would bury me just so she could dig me up and kill me again. Oh, after she had danced on my grave.

You are a crazy man.

The mods on your 250 made me almost not recognize it at first glance. Do you have more pictures? I'd like to see the effect of the additional overhead hatches aft of the mast. I assume that tubing frame foward of the mast is just there to protect what I'm guessing is a dorade??? Lot's of ventilation for a small boat.

That Hunter 23 although I don't know how it sails looks like a good trailer sailor . I watched a guy at a boat ramp who has one pull his out. Looked very easy with the wing keel. He had it out of the water, Mast down and ready to roll in 20 min.
