The Catalina 400 Mk II, produced in the early to mid-2000s, prioritizes interior volume and liveaboard comfort over performance.1:36 Designed by Frank and Jerry Douglas, the 40-foot cruiser features a full-beam, centerline island berth in the aft owner’s cabin, a layout rarely found in production boats of this size.2:29 The design sacrifices saloon space and cockpit size to accommodate this cabin, resulting in a vessel that handles predictably rather than aggressively.3:43 Construction includes a solid glass hull and a cored deck with properly bonded bulkheads.4:46 Prospective buyers should anticipate age-related maintenance costs, specifically regarding standing rigging, sails, and aging electronics.5:04 Current market prices for the model range from $125,000 to $165,000.6:18 While the boat lacks the prestige of the larger Catalina 42 or 425, it offers a practical, well-sorted layout for long-term cruising couples. The vessel remains a viable, reliable option for those prioritizing daily living comfort over speed or racing performance.
