Hi everyone,

I just ran across this C-25 listing on eBay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2438531191"]eBay Catalina 25[/url]

What sort of interior is that?! It looks like it has a fold-down table like a "traditional" interior, but it also looks like it might have the back half of a dinette "booth" interior.

This is a 1977 model ... did Catalina make yet another cabin layout besides the traditional, L-dinette, or standard dinette back then?

Bill Holcolm to the rescue ...

Bill can verify, but that looks to be the L interior.... They made that, the dinette and the traditional.

Peculiar. I like the fabric on the cushions though. It also looks like the swim ladder is on the starboard side, which would put the engine on the port side. The setup on my boat is reversed.

That "L" is reversed from the others I've seen but it is the same as the Jaguar 25 in "exploded view" a few threads back. Maybe Catalina sold the liner mold to Jaguar and that is why we've never seen one stateside before. I wonder what the sail number is. The email is little wing 789 hmmm?

It's definitely NOT an L-dinette. My boat is an L-dinette, and there is no fold-down table ... there is a bench seat along the bulkhead where this one has the table ... the table in my boat is on a pedestal that bolts to the floor.

This layout really looks strange to me ... it's as though the "L" was rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, and a fold-down table was substituted for the pedestal table ... 'mighty strange <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

Looks like a Catalina 30 traditional interior.

I think you're onto something here Frank. I took a look at the Jaguar 25 exploded view, and that interior looks identical to this one that is for sale.

I wonder about your theory ... 'seems plausible ... this boat is a 1977, so it was built right at the beginning of the C-25 era ... maybe Catalina got rid of this design and it ended up in the UK.

Incidentally Ben, because this boat is an older C-25, that's why the motor is mounted on the port side of the transom ... mine is on that side, too. Catalina switched the motor mount to the starboard side in the early 80s because it was easier to install there.

Come on Bill ... we're counting on you ... what's the scoop?

She answered my email and says the sail says #11. I am going to suggest to her that she have a look at this forum.

I'll bet that very early on, probably during their first production run, Catalina discontinued that interior mold, sold it off to Jaguar and went to the more familiar "early" L shaped interior with their U.S. product. I don't think there are many examples of that interior around, and I've seen quite a few '78s but never one of those.

Wonder what happened to the stern rails?

I think stern rails were an option in those days.

I don't believe this is a Jaguar, which has mid-boom sheeting and life lines that extend horizontally the entire length of the deck, stern to bow pulpit. The interior looks very similar to my '88 tall rig, including the lack of the "curtain burner" stove. The L-shaped port setee has me stumped though.
