Peter, I believe Rick is correct that the boat will grow on you. I also went the way of ken and removed my table completely. Makes for a nice open salon if you can part with it. I believe if more owners experienced the salon without the table they would quickly appreciate the spaciousness and clean look of the cabin w/o it.

Peter,
I agree with those saying, "Give it time." Kitty's Cat is my 6th Catalina product and by far, the best. As I said in an earlier post, working on her will help create a bond that will only get stronger with time.

Go through the projects page and look how others have worked on overcoming the issues you have with your boat. Also, I've gained a load of info from this forum. Hang in there and those sexy lines you fell for will reveal into a great personality too. Thumb's Up

Cheers!
