 ...In this case I used the smallest size that would allow Kper to count the sections on the outboard shaft. I looked at a few photos of that boat to pick the best one. It's too bad that the forum software doesn't word wrap text shorter even if a photo makes one part of the page wide.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Yup--too bad... Another solution would be to crop down to the part you wanted to show. Just a thought...

I already spend too much time on this forum for not having a Catalina 25 (you also seem to be in that camp). If someone is bored enough to crop it then I'll correct the URL.

If you haven't purchased yet, here's some input. We have a Catalina 25 with a pop up. I love it. We sail with it up, but only on very light wind days. We stay on the boat on the weekends, and the pop up allows fresh air in, and lots of head room. I am 5'7", my husband 6' 3" We can both stand tall with it up. If you are planning to spend overnighters on the boat, I highly recommend a pop top.
