Re: Hatch size/covers

The first thing we bought for Magic Dragon (#45) when we took possession in 2018 was a set of the Outland Hatch Covers. Best investment to date. These covers are super. They keep the boat cooler and are virtually zero maintenance. The Outland guys are also fantastic. I recommend them to everyone.

Re: Considering 2004 Catalina 350 - questions

Wow... Lots of questions... -this boat has been on the hard for 2 years at the brokerage (uncovered in NY)...how big a deal is this and what type of issues might I keep an eye out for? Not 100% sure on that topic. Dragon stays in the water all the time. -the lines and sheets are pretty dried out and...

Re: length over the water?

I belong to a club and we use the same approach to determine LOW. My 350 is just under 38 feet including my anchors. I do not have davits.

Re: Generator Installation

Magic Dragon (Hull #45) had a NextGen 3.5 installed when we took possession. It's a wonderful thing but can be a tad noisy if you have someone in the aft cabin. Still working on reducing the noise but so nice to be able to cool things down when the breeze is nil.

Bilge Cover Deck Fitting in Salon sole

The brown frame for the main bilge cover is cracking and I'm trying to determine how to best repair it. Seems that Catalina put a pretty big cover on a relatively flimsy frame and it cantilevers this fiberglass frame. I'm thinking I may need to re-glass it and was also thinking about putting some sh...

Re: Dual 350s

You are crazy but who can blame you. We're just taking possession of a 350 - fell for it on the first visit. Whereabouts in Florida do you spend your time?
