This is one of the nicest Catalina 25's in it's year, and may be the nicest
25 footer on Lake Travis. This boat has been in freshwater it's entire life.
Last bottom job was 4 years ago. The cabin has a pop-top, which makes it so
you can be tall (6 foot plus) and still stand in the cabin. With a roomy
V-Berth, 2 settees, and an aft-berth, you can easily sleep 6 people on this
boat. The table is large enough for 4 people to eat a nice-sized dinner on.
Comes with an alcohol stove for cooking. It also has a fresh water holding
tank. There's a factory-installed head with holding tank and Y-valve.
Boat is ready to sail as is. Just get on and go.
Upgrades we've made to the boat:
New mainsail cover
New sail ties
New tiller cover
New running rigging
New lead acid battery
New cabin sole carpet
Overhauled engine completely, so it's 1 year used. Also comes with
multiple shear pins in case you need one (and you never know when you
might).
All brightwork has been professionally maintained while I've owned
the boat, including the tiller.
Mast track has been Sail-Kote'd, for ease of mainsail use.
New electrical panel
New anchor and rode
New docklines
New fenders (THREE) with new hand pump for fenders.

other in main cabin area for holding maps and lots of other things.

and an extension cord to go to the dock.

ALL MANUALS and documentation for this boat including: Catalina 25
owner's manual, outboard owner's manual, outboard shop manual, radio owner's
manual, marine toilet manual, electric bilge pump manual, alcohol stove
manual, Lewmar winch manual, original owner's purchase information (this
boat was originally purchased from The Sailboat Shop in Austin), and

Friend offer: One full sailing lesson to get acquainted with the
boat, plus multiple days sailing and getting to know the engine until you
are comfortable doing it yourself. J
And finally, what needs to be done to the boat as far as we know:
Fresh-water intake on the head has a leak, so the head won’t fill
with lake water. You can still use the head, but it’s just not flushing
properly.
Streaming light needs to be fixed (which means going up the mast at
some point). Could be just a replacement bulb.
Bright work will need another coat this year (I will explain exactly
how to do this, and what you need to do to keep it beautiful annually).
