To anyone who's teed his head intake line into the head sink drain line:

I need high resolution photos showing exactly how you connected the head intake line to the head sink drain line...how far from the thru-hull, a good shot of your tee or y-fitting. Details and wide angles.  I'm gonna use it to illustrate how to do it and I need 'em fairly quickly.

So hopefully at least one of y'all who's done this modification is a decent photographer who lives somewhere south of the snowdrift line and can get to your boat to take 'em over the weekend if you don't already have some photos (seems to me I've seen some, either here or on the sbo.com site).

High res photos are huge files, so when you have 'em, please email a heads up to me letting me know when you're gonna send so I can be ready for a long download.

Thanks much!

A friend here in town has decided that he wants a small sailboat...he's narrowed his choices down to two Catalinas, a 22 pop top that I'm going with him to look at tomorrow and a 25 fixed keel.  Now, I know this the C 34 forum...but I'm betting that some of you started small and therefore can give me some advice for him re the pros/cons of each one.  They're both older...the 25 is a 1980, desperately needs new interior cushions, but otherwise is in very good shape...rigging, sails--which include a spinnaker btw, hull, deck etc. Owner is asking $6k without a trailer...not sure how negotiable he is.

The 22 pop top has been totally restored by a meticulous pro here in Arkansas...about the same age...only seen photos (seeing boat tomorrow)...looks like a brand new boat. Has furling jib (not sure that's a plus)  Price with trailer: $4800.

They both need a toilet and tank...that'll be an "MSD" portapotty, so no big deal there.   

So new to sailing that they're not even novices yet...will be on a small inland lake...planning to take ASA sailing lessons.   Wife is more likely to be a passenger than crew...and may have a little problem with motion sickness. Has two teenage sons who may discover racing (not necessarily on this boat).  So...

Just how tender is a 22 compared to a 25?   Which is the better value?  Are either one a good value at their asking price? What else can any of y'all tell me that'll help me help him make a decision and his wife are likely to be happy with?
