<font size="3">Hi all,

I just discovered that not all Catalina 25s have drawers in the galley but rather 2 doors.

What year did Catalina switch from the 2 door to the 3 drawer and 1 little door,(to access the through hull), configuration?

Thanks,

PW</font id="size3">

Nin Bimash II, 77 hull #153 has two doors. I just use plastic tubs under the stove for galley gear, and under the sink I keep garbage bags, dive mask, spare keel cable, cleaners, extra rub rail segment, and probably a lot more if I could remember.

I should probably put a sheet on the back of the door listing everything that is supposed to be there.

So far it's somewhere between 1982 hull #2790 and 1982 hull #3002, so 1982.

Oops! Well, that does tend to confirm one of my earlier observations; hull numbers seem to have been assigned upon commissioning, as opposed to during production runs.

Apparantly, 1978 hull # 398 has three drawers and a door as well.

My 1983 #3744 has two drawers under the sink, with a drawer and an inspection door under the stove as well.

Aye corumba! Nice catch, Mark. I'm guilty of having mis-read Jim's post. So, just ignore all my previous comments on this thread. Apparently, I'm coming down with something. ;-)

Maybe it depended upon 1. what mood the cabinet maker was in,
or 2. what materials he had on hand.

Not at all; old Frank Butler has done it again. Just when someone tries to make sense of the design changes between individual boats built in sequence and place them into some sort of logical order, the mysterious "Catalina skip" rears its ugly head..

It would be easier to figure out the rate signs they post in Manhattan parking garages.

You guys are thinking entirely too deeply. When you bought a new C-25, you could get drawers, but you had to pay extra. It was an option. It makes perfect sense.

Yep, you're right. I just checked this out on my old brochure, and I forgot that drawers were an option as well as cockpit coamings, whisker pole, sink, curtain burner, sails, marine head, tall rig, compass, special order gelcoat color, curtains, carpet, two speed winches, "privacy" doors, 110 volt shore power, two battery system with battery selector switch, 9.9 HP electric start Evinrude Yachtwin, VHF, windvane, split backstay adjuster, boom vang, cockpit mounted Guzzler bilge pump, Rule automatic electric bilge pump...... etc. In fact, unlike Hunter with their "cruise pack" (of course you don't see too many Hunter 25s around these days), every damn thing on my boat was an option.

As I remember, the boat listed for around $15,000 but before I was through I went for somewhere over 23 grand in 1983.

Best money I ever spent.

Drawers? What drawers? I don't have no stinking drawers.

When I ordered Mara in '79 I didn't pick that option ( a major mistake I believe).

Sim Sala Bim,

I am now enlightened.

The option approach makes perfect sense.

Thanks guys.

In 1978 the bare boat was $9,999. With all the options and a motor (no trailer), hull #398 was just over $15,000. I still have all the original paperwork.

Oh, yeah? In addition to all the options Silver Girl came without, my 83 FK/SR #3944 came without teak handrails on the cabin top. Great boat!
