Well friends, I have been posting for a little bit. I have skippered a couple of bareboat trips. Now my wife and I are the proud owners of a 1982 CAtalina 25 pop top. When at anchor, the hatch/coachroof lifts up via 4 small hydraulic lifts(similar to what is on a screen door).
It has a 1999 Honda 4 stroke with electric start. Roller furling. Sails are from 2001 and in great shape. The boat is in excellent shape. $8000.00
We purchased it at Sodus Bay NY. A little east of Rochester on Lake Ontario. Should I let the broker register it for me? I am taking a personal loan for the money. No lien. Do I need insurance? What other questions do I have for the broker or owner? I need to go through the canals to get it to Cayuga Lake(my home sailing area). The boat is in the water now.
I have to take the mast down. Is 125.00 a proper fee?
Can I do it myself? What about putting it back up? The wife says just pay, don't be so cheap LOL.
Also, I don't even know where I will put it? Dock or mooring ball. I do not have a dinghy. Any thoughts there? I have no trailer, but it comes with a steel cradle for storage. Do I store it at the lake, or bring it home for the winter?(in the driveway).
Sorry for the random questions ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! All of your help in the past has, in a small way, made this happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
