Now there is a surprise....Denr does not like a Catalina...or a Colgate 26.

The boat will work for your purposes, but I would agree that there are a lot of others out there that should satisfy your needs as well. As someone who has bought new, because it was easy and I could, the first year depreciation can be taken by a previous owner and save you 20%. Frank and Gerry have priced the 309 very well, but 20% of $100K is still some cash. There are over 10,000 Catalina 30's out there. It was the predessor of the 309 and is a great boat for what you plan to use it for.

Good luck, and if you pass Denr....wave!
