We had a tremendous storm in Aug. Lost my mast in the storm, the boat survived but the mast got bent like a pretzel. I have had no luck finding a mast. Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure where you are located, but in the Northeast Mass Marine Parts in Quincy, MA parts out boats and they have a MASSIVE inventory of everything including masts and booms, etc. I have purchased from them for my C-25 (aluminum window, hatch-boards, etc)when I needed odd parts.

Here's a link to a whole Catalina 25, including mast, in Michigan for $300. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1101585967482729/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A1b0d0f17-b1cf-481b-b0ed-0b2d96339ee4

Dwyer Mast is still in business as far as l know. https://dwyermast.com/ You might hit them up. The biggest problem that I see is shipping a 30+ foot aluminum blank, and also buying all the parts and pieces that you’d need that you couldn’t reuse from your “pretzel”.

Hmmmm... That could be the most expensive mast you'll ever hear of. That guy is desperate to make the boat go away--you could be more desperate after you remove the mast. (2,500 lbs. of fiberglass and 1,500 lbs of cast iron...)

Possibly the seller might be willing to sell just the mast. It could defray his cost of disposing of the hull.
