1986 Catalina 25 Sailboat with Factory Inboard Diesel
After four years we are selling Catalina 25 fin keel sloop with pop-top option. Hull # 5338 is one of around 150 Catalina 25s delivered brand new with a Universal M12 diesel inboard. We have enjoyed sailing Salem Sound and the islands and spending our weekends swimming, fishing, and picnicking. We have purchase a larger cruising sailboat and have to sell her. She is in the water in Historic Salem Massachusetts.
6’ 6” head room with pop-top up. She sleeps four comfortably with large V berth, oversized quarter berth, and two salon settees. She has all the benefits of a larger boat but with lower marina charges (storage and slips charge by the foot).
Perfect for long cruises or just scooting in and out of the harbor; the inboard provides economical auxiliary power and a margin of safety that one can’t get with a gas outboard. No gas fumes. No cranking starter ropes, no cavitation in heavy weather, no forgetting to tilt the motor before you leave. It costs us about $50 a season in fuel and we use her every week! The best part is she is equipped with heavy duty alternator to charge the two newer batteries. Always have power for lights, electronics, air pumps, etc.

We have a rule where we only say positive things about boats listed in the swap meet. You have also started the topic in the discussion forum. The inboard was not a very common option, I think that provides an insight into how small market is for the boat. Most people in the 25' market are intentionally avoiding "systems", I would bet money more C 25s were sold with out a marine head for the same reason. I am a strong supporter of sailingtexas but your target market is probably on the coasts and while sailingtexas is growing its market I always assume coastal boats listed there do not sell well there. I hope you are listing it places that target coastal markets. Good luck with the sale, we have an inboard at our lake it has sold several times.

Agreed Frank. The inboard certainly seems to appeal to the coastal types like myself.
I will heed your advice and make sure I target the coastal market .
The inboard certainly helped us out in some weather around New England over the years.
