BOAT INFORMATION
Don’t let PINEAPPLE EXPRESS’S small size fool you; this is one very capable Catalina 250. It has many features of boats far larger with a -rare for its size- inboard, Yanmar diesel and sail drive.
Completely overhauled/refitted in 2016 with impeccable documentation of all elements, features, and work done. The owner has made thoughtful and well considered improvements throughout. This boat is ready for anything on the Bay, Delta, and even short trips out the Gate. Or put it on a trailer and your options are limitless.
It features an upgraded rudder, wheel steering, completely redone/improved electrical systems, up-to-date instruments – including autopilot, and an enclosed head. All the standing and running rigging were also replaced including uprated mast and boom. The value of this Catalina 250 far exceeds the listing price.
As one of nine Catalina 250s with the Yanmar inboard and with a wing keel (not water ballast) and uprated rig this boat sails far better than a stock Catalina 250 and better than many cruiser’s its size.
The large cockpit will easily fit 6 or more adults. Combine all this with an easy to sail nature and extremely low running/ operating costs and you have one fantastic pocket cruiser.
