Considering upsizing to a Catalina 30. Lots of them around.
I'd sell my 1986 Catalina 25 standard rig, fin keel with the M12 diesel.
I'm trying to gauge if anyone on this board might have an interest ?
I'm in Norwalk CT.
We can talk about price if anyone is genuinely interested. I'm thinking in the $9,000 range.

Steven, while I�m not interested in upgrading to an inboard diesel version of Passage, this model is unique and prized among the fleet. It might be worthwhile to submit a posting in the SWAP MEET section of the forum to get additional eyes on your post. More details on the interior layout, recent upgrades, extra features of your boat and a photo or two would be helpful.

Because the engine is located beneath and aft of the companionway stairs, have you found that you lose storage space or you require additional sound insulation due to the placement of the engine?

Where is the fuel tank located? Port fender locker (aka the dumpster), under the starboard settee or in the quarterberth?
I assume it has a deck fill cap somewhere near the water tank fill?

Any details on �mileage� using the engine? For example, I run about 5kts at 1.5 hours per gallon of gasoline, so that�s 7.5 nm per gal, or 9 statute miles per gal.

The engine is under the cockpit,so the quarterberth is a little smaller, but still big enough for one person. The fuel tank is under the v berth. The black water tank is under the port settee. The fresh water tank and the two batteries are under the starboard settee. The engine sips about 1/2 gallon N hour of diesel at about 5.5 knots. The fuel tank holds 14 gallons. No need for additional insulation, since I'm generally in the cockpit while the engine is running. Can I cross post this somehow ?

Steven, Looks like the info is out on the Swap Meet page now.
Best of luck on the sale and your purchase of a larger Catalina.

While the C30s are a fine boat, my fave in that range was the Catalina 309 (very limited run in the �00s) and the C315s. Being a decade or two newer than the original 30s they�re also a good bit pricier, but excellent deals can be had at this time of year.
