I have a few newbie questions that I hope no one minds.

I may be purchasing a 1979 Catalina 25 soon and have a few

I agree that a survey is a good idea. the boat should also be hauled to inspect the gelcoat for blisters below the water line. Definately check out the bulkheads; if it's just waterstaining, it's probably OK. Any evidence of rot and you'll want to replace

Thanks for the feedback, I posted some pictures that several Catalina owners looked at and I am walking away from this particular boat. I will continue to search for a good one.

Hey Scott,

From what you've written, I'd say a survey (including a haul out) is 100% needed. In fact, with a price less than $5K, a survey on a C25 is mandatory. Without the survey, you may pay $5,000 for a boat that you'll have to spend another $5k
