Up for sale is my '96 Catalina 250 Water Ballast hull #10 (i believe). The vessel is currently in the water in Barnegat, NJ through at least the end of September.

now for the bad:
if you've followed my saga, or you can go find my saga, on the Catalina 250 message board about my leaky ballast tank, then you may already or soon will know that the vessel i have has a leaking ballast tank.
If there's any interest from a current or perspective member, please let me know. I've purchased a Catalina 34, so I'm motivated to sell the 250 as soon as possible.
A good/fair condition '96 i estimate should go for around $8k, we'll start there. I've had some ridiculously low offers in the past, but no *reasonable* offer will be refused. I should also mention, I do not have a trailer. If you want to move it, you'll have to make your own arrangements.
