1996 Catalina 250 Swing Keel

Back on the market due to buyer unable to take delivery!

My 1996 Catalina 250 is once again for sale! This boat is in excellent condition, especially for its age. It has tons of upgrades and it’s turn key. It draws around 5ft with the keel down and about 2ft with the keel up.

This is probably one of the best/most upgraded examples of a Catalina 250 around!

Some of the upgrades/updates include:

- new halyards and sheets (2025)
- new standing rigging (2024)
- new mains’l (2024)
- custom memory foam + sunbrella aft mattress (2024)
- new bottom 3 coats Trinidad Pro + new barrier coat (Dec 2023)
- new 9.9 Tohatsu deep shaft outboard w/electric start (Oct 2023)
- new Ruddercraft kickup rudder (Dec 2024)
- 100ah Lithium house battery (2024)
- 12v DC refrigerator (2024)
- Bluetooth cockpit stereo (2024)
- 100w solar panel w/MPPT charger (2024)
- new Simrad chart plotter (2023)
- new carry-on AC (2023)
- new bimini top (2025)

This is a super fun day sailer/weekender. And believe me, me and my wife have done both. But now it’s time for an even bigger boat.

This boat does not sit idle at the dock for weeks on end. And it gets cleaned every other week by a diver.

Message me if you want to see it or go for a sail.
