[C38] Purchasing a Catalina 38 (maybe)

[David L Ryan]

Hello Catalina 38 People,

We've been casting about, looking for a boat to be our Summer cottage  
and Winter get-away vehicle, and it looks like maybe we've found our  
boat in the form of a 1979 Catalina 38.

'll be giving the boat thorogh going over before deciding whether or  
not I want to take the next step and get a pre-purchase survey. I am  
hoping that the collective wisdom of this list might quickly get me  
up to speed on the known trouble spots on this boat.

Thanks in advance!

David Ryan
