I copied this from the Catalina 25 Specific forum:

<b><font size=4><font color=blue>. . . This is one of the reasons I purchased this boat. The help of other owners is wonderful. Thank you all again for your assistance

I'll second that whole heartedly. My first real boat was a Catalina 22. Their discussion group is sponsored by Lowell at Catalina Direct. Great resource. Then I started watching this website and now I have a C25 89wk. As I near retirement and look for a 35 or 36 footer, it will be a Catalina. If you look at all of their websites and associations, they are just as helpful, just not as many members of course. I'm a Catalina owner for life.

I've owned my C25 for 12 years and I bless the day I found this forum!

I found this forum <i>after</i> I purchased my C25, but I wish I would have found it years ago, because I would have gotten a C25 that much sooner. Thanks to those who put up with my BS. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Don,
BS does not neccesarily mean what you think it does.
BS means that you have been Beaten into Submission. That's why they want you to have a bs degree in the workplace. If you want to get ahead in business you get an MBA. That means you are a Much Better Asskisser. IF you want to get ahead in the educational field you get a PhD. That means you can call yourself doctor, and prescribe BS. Then the cycle is complete.

I made that up all by myself. I'm an MBA school dropout. But I do have two BS degrees. So I'm well versed in BS.
