The 2023 Chris-Craft Catalina 24 is a 25-foot center console built on a deep-V hull with flared bow and the brand's signature tumblehome design. Powered by a Mercury Verado 300HP four-stroke engine with DTS and active trim, the boat combines capable performance with thoughtful engineering. The fiberglass hull features a one-piece foam-filled stringer system for flotation and noise reduction, with a mechanically and chemically bonded deck joint. The boat is finished in midnight blue gelcoat with a riviera red stripe, complemented by an almond vinyl cockpit.
The helm centers on a patent-pending reversible seat that raises forward for optimal visibility or converts aft to create a social gathering space, with integrated storage pockets and custom mahogany-accented upholstery. A 65-gallon Yeti cooler slides beneath the seat position. The hardtop pilot house includes LED lighting, speakers, and windshield wipers. The cockpit features self-draining design with woven seagrass-bouclé flooring, padded gunwale bolsters, and a side entry door with ladder. A pull-out aluminum swim ladder and stowaway swim ladder serve the integral swim platform.
Fishing capability runs throughout: the boat includes a live well with light, in-floor fish box with pump-out, raw water washdown, and multiple rod holders mounted on the transom, gunwales, and hardtop. Navigation and docking are supported by a Garmin 12-inch chartplotter, dash-mounted compass, and LED bow docking lights. A SeaKeeper trim tab system with indicators manages handling, while a windlass with stainless steel anchor and approximately 200 feet of line manages ground tackle. The Tecma head system includes dockside pumpout capability.
The Heritage Trim Edition adds teak bow anchor locker and coverboards, helm foot rests, and synthetic teak foredeck accents. The boat shows 37 hours of operation and includes a new barrier coat and bottom paint applied in spring 2025. A custom Phoenix tandem-axle Chris-Craft trailer and full mooring cover in navy are included. The boat carries NMMA, ABYC, and USCG certification with a five-year transferable component warranty and three-year canvas and upholstery warranty.
