1998 Catalina C400

The owner bought this boat in 1998

General condition and any additional information

THIS IS A FRESH WATER ONLY BOAT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES.

We are spending almost all of our time traveling in a camper these days. The boat is becoming a drag on our lifestyle. As a result I’m willing to reduce the price even further. My dealer originally said that it would easily go for $120,000.00. Either through lack of effort on his part or a bad market it didn’t sell at that price. We then reduced it to $114,900.00 which generated substantial interest but still no sale. I am now out from under the broker contract and willing to reduce the price even further since I will no longer be paying a broker fee. I am now reluctantly offering my boat for $94500.00. Check the links in the original email below for further information. This boat has been sailed exclusively on the Great Lakes.

It’s that time! I’ve got too many irons in the fire and something has got to go. After 30 years sailing it’s time to move on. My C400 #140 is for sale (for sail?) 😂. It is a 1998 during the change over from mk I to mk II. It has some features of the mk I and some from the mk II. Stand up aft separate shower (mk II), keel stepped mast (mk I). Many extras such as 245 watt solar panel, Air Breeze wind generator, Kato hanging davits with highly reinforced pushpit, 25mm emergency flare gun kit, AUTOPROP self adjusting 3 blade propellor, Catalina original 3 blade fixed propellor (kept as spare), new VHF radio with DSC, 2000 watt inverter, air adjustable bed in master berth, full dodger and bimini with inter connecting panel, AIS xmit/rec unit with wifi connectivity to smart phone or laptop, Pioneer stereo with 12 disc CD changer and 2 12 disc cassettes, oversize CQR anchor, New refrigerator (condenser and compressor) in 2016 and many more modifications shown here:
