1997 Catalina 28 MkII

This 1997 Catalina 28 MkII is a fiberglass sloop built for coastal cruising. The 28-foot hull carries a 10.17-foot beam and is powered by a single 23-horsepower Universal diesel engine, delivering a cruising speed of 5 knots and a maximum speed of 6.5 knots.

The cockpit features stern perch seats and a walk-through transom with an integrated swim deck. Below, the interior includes one cabin and one head, with a layout designed for couples or small crews on extended passages. The boat carries main and genoa sails, both new, along with a new bimini top and sail cover for weather protection.

Recent work is extensive. The bottom received a complete job in May 2025. The diesel engine has been thoroughly serviced: glow plugs, raw water pump, fresh water pump, main oil seal, engine mounts, and oil pan gasket all replaced, with all hoses renewed. The heat exchanger and reservoir were cleaned. The prop shaft and stuffing box have been replaced, as has the shaft strut bearing. The propeller was upgraded from a two-blade to a three-blade bronze model. Electronics include a new VHF radio and a new chartplotter with transducer. Both house and starting batteries are new, along with a new float charger.
