> All:
> 
> We saw her today, we met (surprise!) Gerry Douglas, we liked them  
> both.  Price (the boat-don't think Gerry needs to sell himself) ~ 
> $195K, sailaway ~$220K.
> 
> Notables:  It has an electric head (not incinerating type) that forces  
> high pressure water into the bowl to flush, macerating on the way to  
> the holding tank.
> Gerry says this uses far less water than one (particularly unaware  
> visitors) might otherwise use with a manual flush, thus conserving  
> waste tankage.
> Has vertical battens in the mast furling main.  Tons of (wife pleaser)  
> storage.  Dual anchor rollers, large anchor well, vertical mount  
> electric winch.
> There's more, but you'll all hear about it soon enough.
> 
> Onboard living space isn't our issue with our 320, tankage/storage  
> is.  Our opinion; the 375 compares favorably against the 387, for less  
> money.
> We could have jumped (even had my wifes permission), but didn't.  It's  
> probably best to let Catalina work any bugs out first.
> We settled for new house batteries and a high output alternator  
> package instead.
> Dealer offered us $89K trade on our '02 320; guess that's what the  
> 'blue book' is.
