I bought my 355 in 2011, and sold it in 2018. Hull #54, I think. We live in St. Pete.

We kept noticing saw dust in the starboard shelves over the settee. Assumed it to be construction dust at first, but it turned out to be termites. I had the boat hooded and fumigated to eliminate them, and I gave Gerry Douglas a “heads up” thinking there might be termites in Catalina’s wood supply.

A couple of days later Frank Butler called me and inquired about the issue. I told him I had it fixed, and he volunteered to pay for it, and sent me a check for my cost - $700.

I had a problem with water infiltration into the bow thruster compartment. Gerry Douglas came to my boat twice, with his crew, and fixed it.

Originally there was a common problem with getting enough air to the refrigerator coils. I was notified of the fix - using a router to open up the back of the settee. I didn’t have a router, so Gerry brought one to my condo for me to use.

So their follow up service has been pretty good for me.
