For Sale: 2012 Catalina 355 For Sale - Georgia

[boatboy59]

Business growth, and a serious lack of time to go sailing, means it's time to sell our 2012 Catalina 355. We just purchased her in early August, but hey, sometimes a new reality comes up against the old dream.

Our survey was flawless and she has been maintained to the same high standard since purchase. About 455 hours on her Yanmar 29hp engine. Needs nothing and ready to cruise. The previous owner made many significant upgrades, all done to factory standards. Full details below. New bottom paint. Engine just serviced. She is located in St Simons Island, Georgia. Asking $165,000. If interested, please message here.
