[C320-list] What comes with a 'base' price boat?

[Monte B.]

Bob, in my history of boat shopping if it ain't bolted to the boat it's not
included. No ground tackle, no canvas other than sail cover (most are in
mast now) and binnacle cover, no cockpit cushions, The basic instrument
package sans ram mike, no chart plotter, no autopilot and on and on.
Catalina web site might include a base boat listing and all the dealers do.
The option list is usually as long as the equipment list. I've seen the sail
away price (whatever that means) on these boats in the 140's. And yes, you
get to buy the fire extinguishers.

All:

I read the 320 MKII review in the March Sail magazine.  The price is  
given as $117,200 base, FOB.   I bought my 2002 'pre sailed' which  
brings me to the following question:
Does anyone know what equipment is included in the standard (base)  
price from Catalina, rather than the equipment included in the  
'sailaway' price that dealers quote?
I'm guessing at least the boat, motor, and sails.  Possibly the  
compass, cushions, and anchor.  Anyone know?
