[C38] three things to look at in purchasing Catalina 38

[Don Strong]

Ron: Engine, engine, engine (x10) , then professionally rewired 
electrical system (x3), smooth bottom (re Patrick below), then new 
standing rigging, then decent interior, topsides and exterior features, 
then sails (not such a big deal, can be replaced for under 3k).
  Apologies for my prejudices,
regards, Don
