Unfortunately the boat comes as is. However, several dealers I talked to say
they like the in mast better. They claim the new systems are less prone to
jamming and you don't have the weight of hoisting a sail up from the boom.
I'll give you my results after a season. Catalina is going to a vertical
batten option for in mast furlers, but I don't have it.

Best Regards,

Will second the motion re change-out the in-mast furling for in-boom furling
main.  Am very pleased with operation of my Leisure Furl coastal model, and
with in-boom furling you don't have to worry about main getting stuck at top
of mast if in-mast furler jams.  In-boom gives you a full sail with battens,
and traditional up-down mainsail.
