I recall reading, I believe in C&D's anniversary edition some years ago, that the Catalina was one of the ringers they normally received from mfgs (the Goat cited being another). In the Cat's case, it was actually a 421 prepped by Royal. Also, though huge by today's standards, the boats of the 60s did not weigh as much as they looked (wished I could say the same for my a$$).
