Re: Chris Craft Catalina.. good for fishing?
Not much info. there but 70's CC Catalinas are i/b straight shaft configuation. You'll see around 4 mph at idle with a clean hull. If you want to fish you'd be wise to get a kicker on there to avoid idling the main engine for extended periods. That model of boat is not a fishing boat so to speak, it's an Express cruiser. Depending on the length and power most CC's were set up to get a 17-23 mph cruise. I like the Catalina line. Good all around boats.
