What I'm saying is that in my opinion a $6K motor from Moyer might have payback in this particular case. I'm also saying an even better solution would be to do a garage rebuild of an A4 for $1500 and drop that in, but that's not feasible for many people

Up here in the PNW, Catalina 30's seem to command a higher price than other 30 footers of that vintage. Might just be because of the interior roominess of the C30 compared to others Vs our weather. Things might be different on the Chesapeake.
