@chancethewonderdob – would this Catalina make it to Winchester VA please? How much do you anticipate it will be bid?Thanks,Will ...

All I can tell you is that I have had the Catalina for a little over three years and the longest drive I did in it was two hours one way and two hours return trip the next day. The engine runs very smooth. Everyone wants to wave at you. I drove between 65 & 70.
