Updated, 8/2/12.

Well, I really hate to do it, but I have to put my trusty C320 on the market. We have purchased a motor home and the D/W would rather spend the summer in the MH than on the lake in the boat. I joined this forum in 2000 prior to purchasing C25 #4488, then sold it in 2004 prior to getting the C320.

One of Catalina's finer sloops, the C 320 comes with virtually all equipment necessary to sail away as standard...and this yacht is loaded with options and extras.

On a lake in Oklahoma, I can almost understand... The motor home lets you cruise to anywhere in two continents. Pick up a sunfish or something for lakes--that's some of the most fun you can have sailing!

Best of luck--the 320 is a gem!

A Capri 14.2 behind the motor home would be pretty cool. Good luck with the sale. In case you get an out of town buyer, look up Leslie Transport to haul it. (I am in no way connected to them, but I do know a few of the folks listed on their referral list who have used them:

I'm gonna guess that the cost to move the boat will be in the $3000-$5000 range.

It is a 1997, meant to put this in the OP.

Regarding shipping costs, I can only give two examples:

- I bought it in Dallas. It cost $1,700 for a bottom job, decommissioning, shipment (about 300 miles) and recommissioning.

- Had a fellow look at it two weeks ago and told me it would cost him $1 per mile to ship it.

This boat is the largest Catalina that can be moved by a dual wheel 350/3500 series pick up. C 34s and larger require a low boy/tractor.

That is an absolutely outstanding deal! I got quoted $1200 to pick my boat up, do a bottom job, and put it back....of course, there's really only 1 boatyard on the lake so Victor sorta has a lock on us.....

My best quote for shipping a C-30 from Port Clinton, OH to Pensacola, Fl (850 miles) was $5400. That included wide load permits for each state.

I learned to swim in Lake Tenkiller - nearly drowned in the process, you know that saying 'sink or swim'? It was only one of many such incidents in my youth, not the first though - but that's another story. Lake Tenkiller was a beautiful lake back then, so clear you could see the bottom everywhere you went. I bet it is wonderful to sail there and I'm sorry to hear that you have to give it up. But the moterhome will open up new adventures for you and there is always the prospect of an occasional charter. I'd try to work that out in advance if I were you as part of the moterhome negotiations. :) Good luck to you, sounds like a beautiful boat and a great deal for someone.
