Nice vessel, but your going to miss that Hunter 37 if your thinking of cruising and over-nighting.
Catalina builds excellent boats and I always felt a notch or two above Hunter (no offense of course). The Capri line has a big following in the racing community, parts are readily available, great factory support and proud pedigree. She looks like a beautiful ship. Congrads.

Hey Bob, I think that there's a Capri 22 still sitting on the bottom of Lanier. A few years back, my friend broached during a race and it swamped and sank.
