This classic boat is ready to hit the water and turn heads! Step back into the golden age of boating with this stunning 1965 Dorsett Catalina, now featuring an Elco electric motor conversion completed in 2025. Known for their unique "tumblehome" transom (curving inward at the top) and aeronautical-inspired design, this 17-foot fiberglass cuddy cabin cruiser is an example of mid-century modern style on the water. This is not just a boat; it's a head-turning, award-worthy piece of history that looks as graceful on a trailer as it does cutting through the water. The charming, cozy cabin provides shelter from the elements, perfect for overnight trips or a quiet nap on the water. Renowned for their durable early fiberglass construction, making them excellent candidates for restoration or enjoyable as a refined classic. Designed with a 700 lb base weight and a stable, high-sided design that handles waves gracefully, making it ideal for lakes, rivers, or bays.
