Wanted basic Dorsett Catalina or similar-not a major fixer

[Will-E]

Well gee, I've been working on this project Glasspar Del Mar, and wife is getting impatient. She does not like the small useable open boat I have, she wants a place to get out of the wind/weather and be able to "freshen up". I keep telling her it's because of all the "honey-do's" that are not giving me enough time to get things done on the boat. (Whoa, was not the right thing to say)
So I thought I'd check and see if anyone has a useable as she sits, respectible condition (don't need a museum piece) cabin type boat similar to the Dorsett; Sabrecraft, Skagit, Hydro Swift, Glasspar Seafair, Bell Boy, Uniflite, or another Del Mar that is ready to go, minus trailer and outboard, that I could put the boat on my trailer and put my low hours freshwater 1966-65HP long shaft Merc w/power trim on and go out boating. Not a whole lot to spend, but semi motivated... Please, no paperwork hassles.. I'm in Astoria, Oregon; I can drive up to about 3 hours one way if need be..
I have an older EZ Loader roller trailer that is set up for 17 foot.
Thanks; in the mean time I'll keep plugging away..
(I love the vintage boats. These newer boats called "Cuddy Cabin's, to me just look like ski boats on steroids; besides these vintage boats are the boats I grew up on and have fond memories of.. So does that make me vintage also?)

Here is what looks like a pretty decent Glaspar Club Mariner in Lakeside. Not sure how far Lakeside is from Astoria. Good luck in your search.

They are around, just give it time.
I have a Dorsett Catalina that I was hoping to just put a floor in, paint, but after inspection, its going to be a major restoration with stringers, transom, pretty much all the wood needs replaced. Of course, my other boats will be sold and this my keeper. Don't have any others like on your list.

But, they are around just needing a motor like your looking for.

Keep looking...:GoTeam1:
