I have posted a video on YouTube of a tour of my 2002 C250wk. This shows modifications I have done, etc. I am interested in comments on any organizational ideas that people may have.

First lesson learned is to turn the phone on its side when creating videos for YouTube. Oh well!

Thank you for the walkthrough. Lots of good ideas for us to try on our C-250.

Forgot to mention the small but important improvements and updates like having window curtains (some come factory installed) hangers in the head, adequate 12v and 110volt power supply and outlets and other improvements.

Oh... we so miss our boat but goodness for the memories

Really like the boat enriching modifications, additions and functionalities.

1) Having a pop-top with clear forward vision is absolutely brilliant on cold rainy and windy periods. It is beautifully executed. This is a modification to follow...

2)Only once you have seen daylight in the aft berth through the coaming ports does one appreciate how nicely it extends livability in that area plus makes the cabin space seem much larger.

3) Nothing like swinging or detaching the companion steps out-of-the-way will open access to the aft berth... this is a simple and effective modification and a plus for the wing keel over the water ballast model.

4) Providing an additional shelf in the galley is very practical and looks great.

David... my hat off to you... well done

Some clever stuff there! I especially like the "disappearing table" trick--sliding it up to the ceiling forward of the post. If Catalina still made the 250, they could've benefited from this video!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. It's given me some super ideas on what can be done to the C250. So far, i use mine only for day sailing. Need to plan an overnight / weekend adventure and address some of the mod's that you've done

You've done a great job with all your upgrades on this boat! I toured it in 2010 when the prior owner had it for sale at Naval Research Lab. I believe that he mentioned that you had just seen it and he thought you were going to make an offer on it and drive it halfway across the country. Since I had seen another C250 near me, I bought that one instead.

Before I even watched the video I thought, "I wonder what he did with that that terrible location and shoddy wire splicing for the electric panel?" You did a great job fixing that!
