The triple pinstriping is new for 1999.  And, yes, the Catalina 25/250 National Assn. burgee is flying from the port spreader.  I was rushing to beat sundown and I had a 50/50 chance of picking the correct spreader.  My luck wasn't very good.  I might keep it here and fly in the face of tradition.


The Honda 9.9hp extra-long shaft w/electric start and 10 amp "regulated" alternator.  You can see the prop scar on the rudder.  The guy that I paid to commission the boat made the mistake of turning the rudder into the prop less than one minute after its first launch.  If you have the rudder locked into its "correct" position, this will not happen.
