Yeah, I totally understand you on that one. Need more experience for sure. Sounds like a great boat. Ask Bill scanlon on this site who's good for transport. He's in the Beverly (near Marblehead) area, commodore of y.c. and should know who's good. Good Luck!
Hey Anna, yes the instructions helped and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, but it is a bit different from what I'm used to. Nice to hear from you. Have a great time in Marathon soaking up all that sun. Send us a nice picture or two. Fair winds to ya...
Hi Anna,
Thanks for adding me as a friend. Just my opinion, but if you purchase the C30, sail/motor it home, afterall, thats what theyre for, it'll be a great adventure. Mast down at Rensealar(sp), mast stepped at Oswego. The story I wrote is about our trip, but I made it goofy just for fun. We travelled the canal from Cayuga Lake to Oswego. Its good to have two people for the locks because they place the lines far apart.
Hey Anna, I just did a survey on the water damage on the cockpit floor. Retirement, hmm... I have to wait till I am 59 1/2 YO. so iI don't have to pay the penalty tax on my 401K.
Now I need 32" x 48" 1/2 inch marine plywood to redo the floor. The previous owner cut out a big hole to replace the fuel tank. He (or She) did a crappy job on patching the hole and with this rain we had, I ended up with approx. 50 gallon rain water in the bilge.
My wife don't mind piddling with my boat, but she is not the type to live on one.
Oh yes, a larger boat is sometimes a pain in the behind. Expensive to move, repair etc.
a catalina 25, even though the headroom is ..., it's much easier to pull with a pick-up. My boat required a commercial hauler to get it to my home (~1000 bucks) not counting the trailer I had to buy (4500 bucks). I might recoupe the trailer though.

Hi Anna,
I'm close to retirement also. I also bought a larger boat and I'm selling my Catalina 22. I love the C22 like you love the C25, but its time to grow I guess. I'm hoping to live aboard and sell the house and just about everything I own. Its easier because I'll be traveling solo. Not easier traveling, just easier getting rid of stuff and minimalizing, if thats a word.
Good Luck. its fun shopping for a new boat.

Hi Anna,
our CS is moored at the HSCM marina in Arnprior, Ottawa River, Ontario, 50 k north/west of Ottawa.
But, we tow the boat to different bodies of water. Last August we spent some time on the North Channel of Lake Huron and are hoping to return there next year for a longer period.
Then there's Lake Nippissing which isn't very far from us .
OMG, i bet it was fun driving thru the mountains pulling a trailer! Just in the looking stages, did see one for about 2000. Wishing now I didn't sell my Explorer sport with the towing setup! ahhhh, who knew!
