Hi Friends,
I’m continuing my search for a
boat for next
winter cruising the
Bahamas
And would be interested in your opinions regarding the following:
1981
Catalina w/ Universal 18HP
Diesel vs 1977 S-2-30 with New
Yanmar 18HP
Both these
boats are about the same
price and appear to be in good shape.
The
Catalina is a grand more but has an older
GPS and
Autopilot.
Otherwise equipped about the same.
Also I’d be interested in your opinions of Tiller v
Wheel
My personal preference is
wheel, so I’d be interested in others preference and why?
I’ve also noticed some throwing around of the words
“Repowered” “Repowered with a New Diesel” However when I look closely at the
Pictures it appears that some “New” engines are really rebuilt ones.
So does “repowered with a new engine” mean anything? Could it mean both a
rebuilt
engine and new from manufacturer in a crate?
In my book New means NEW From the Maker, Am I wrong here?
Thanx to All for the Great
Advice I have received on this forum
