Hello all!
For ease of boarding the boat from the swim ladder I was wondering if it would be wise to cut the center section of the rear pushpit and make the center section so that I could swing open the bar to have access.

So I just got a Catalina 30 so my 23.2 and trailer will have to be put up for sale soon and I am looking at my list of deferred maintenance.

I improvised a server tray by removing handles, then used it to cover stove for more counter space...when the lightbulb went off. How about a custom, serving tray/mosaic compass rose or design counter top. Handles face down to lock on stove top, flip over for cutting board/serving tray? Thoughts ..read more

Hi all
