I've read that review and I think that was what initially turned me off of that boat.

But I'm confused. . . this is a balboa 22, not a catalina 22. I understand that the condition of this particular boat might not be what I'm looking for but I'd like to base that off of an inspection and not just a low price. And I was under the impression the balboa's were built much more robustly than their competition. That is, however, assuming, the balboa 22 was built similarly to the balboa 26.
