1985 Catalina 38

Introducing the cleanest showroom ready, time capsule, one owner vessel Catalina 38, racer/cruiser from 1985, known as "Stardust." This elegant vessel boasts an overall length of 38 Ft, providing ample space for both performance and comfort. Crafted from durable fiberglass, its displacement hull and fin keel design ensure stability and responsiveness on the water. Powered by a reliable Universal diesel engine, this boat delivers 24 horsepower, making it perfect for leisurely cruising or spirited racing. With a center engine location and a two-blade bronze propeller, "Stardust" offers smooth navigation and efficiency. Accommodations include a cozy cabin and a well-appointed head, making it ideal for weekend getaways. The seating capacity of six allows for enjoyable outings with family and friends. This used Catalina 38 combines classic design with practical features, making it a fantastic choice for sailing enthusiasts seeking adventure on the open seas.

This vessel again will not last, it is spotless and has been fully covered since 1985 by its owner. All original from cousins and wood work with an upgraded floor all looking like new.  I can't say enough about this gem of a vessel.
