    Dodger looks great! Do you mind sharing where did you get that extra support to the aft?

    I really like that mini dodger, it looks good. For a boat that size I was impressed with having a head with it's own door. The boat looks great, good job.

    We've got a ram 1500 with 5.7l hemi engine, and it doesn't have 4x4...would I be stupid to buy a trailerable boat?

    • @davidcrosby2173
      @davidcrosby2173 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have only once put my 4x4 into 4 wheel drive and that is because the ramp was not really deep enough and I had to put the rear wheels into the water. I think you in general would be ok, especially if you keep your drive wheels out of the water. There are plenty of trailerable sailboats that do not have the fixed keel so they will be easier to launch/retrieve. That's my two cents.

    Nicely done, making it look easy. I'm on a steep launch ramp and don't need the tongue extension. Glad to see how that is done.

    I'm thinking of purchasing the same boat. Looking to launch at the beginning of the season and retrieve at the end, is it pretty reasonable? Also looking a getting a bigger truck, 3/4 or 1 ton? Thanks for any info.

      I am sorry that I am a year into providing a response. I posted this video as a response to a question on the Catalina 25, 250 Capri 25 forum and only now looked back at this to get a link for another response on the forum. I recommend you take a look at that forum, there is a wealth of information there. In my opinion, it is quite straightforward to ramp launch and retrieve the Catalina 250wk. I have done this hundreds of times and have taken my boat on many trips, towing several hundred miles to our destination. I tow with a 2016 F-150 XLT, Super Crew cab, long bed, 5.0 liter V-8. I have absolutely no problems towing this boat. I comfortably cruise down the highway at the speed limit (70 mph).
