John, this sounds awfully naive, coming from a 62-year-old, but:
You might contact a dealer and ask if he/she has a demo boat or boat in stock from which you could borrow a mast, with the agreement that you would replace it with your new one when it arrives. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Bigsky! I cant believe all these responses to your question !!
I asked last month for advice on location of my battery, and received ZILCH, NADA, BUPKES, for response. Now, they are tearing the walls down to get to you.
I have a "new" 1999 14.2. Here is what I did - it is something else...
Don, here is a discussion of all 3 boats by a friend of mine:
who has been a dealer for Lidos and Catalinas (Capris). We were also discussion the American:
"For fit, finish and easy of use and maintenance, I honestly don't think you can beat the C14.2. You'll seldom have problems with the...
Art! If you bought this boat NEW, go back to the dealer and ask for the bungee!!
It's not like it is "optional equipment"!! Good luck - let us know how it turns out.
I just installed the boomkicker on my new 1999 last month.
First, it works great. I went directly to the manufacturer (www.boomkicker.com), as they are cheaper than West. You only need the small model K0312 ($82 including shipping). I HAD to get a kicker to support the boom, as I didn't want...
Folks, I just purchased the Minn Kota 30 for my new 1999 14.2, with the corresponding type 24 battery. Although I only weigh 150 lbs, I am concerned that the stern may ride too low, even with two mushroom anchors up in the cuddy. My questions are related to how you installed your battery into...
Folks, I just purchased a new 1999 14.2. I am considering installing a Minn Kota motor on the stern, either a 36 or 40. I am asking your opinions on battery location and size. Obviously, at the stern is the easiest, but least attractive and most obtrusive. Is it worth trying to install it in...
:o Folks, I need your input. I anticipate buying a used 14.2 in the near future; however, my garage is only 19' deep. I have been told (by a Catalina representative at the boat show) that the total rig is 21' long. If so, I must either slide my boat forward on the trailer by 2' or cut the...
:confused: Folks, I am in the process of selling my Com-Pac Sun Cat and purchasing a used Capri 14.2. If I am NOT interested in racing, do I still need the Handbook? I.e., is it only racing rules and regulations, or is it a pretty handy owner's manual? Thanks in advance.
