This is a typical example of the venerable Catalina 22, in fair condition for a 34 year old boat that has been maintained and sailed.  She has a trailer, a serviceable 4.5 hp Mercury outboard, and a mainsail and jib.  She could go sailing this afternoon :-)

We just took this boat in trade, and are interested in moving it quickly to a new owner looking for a boat that would benefit from some tender loving care :-)  It is pretty hot in North Texas this week, and we would rather sell this boat than spend a lot of time cleaning it and tweaking it to push it to it's maximum sale price.  This auction is an experiment to see if eBay can deliver us a boat buyer who would like to pay himself/herself to work on their new boat, with the up-front savings from buying it now, 'AS-IS'.  The alternative is for us to put time into it and then raise the asking price accordingly, which is what we would do if we were not so busy, and it were not 100 degrees outside!

We sold a clean, primped Catalina 22 for $6,500.00 about three weeks ago, so if this one does not sell during this auction and gets re-listed after we have refurbished it, we may be asking for double what we would take now...
