I'm looking at a '69 catalina and one of the minor issues it has is some door sag (door has to lift up a little when you latch it). Is that fixable? do you just use the jack the underside of the door technique or what?

most likely the pins and bushings are bad in the door hinges. get a large friend ( doors are quite heavy ) and have him wiggle the door up and down while you take a look at the hinges. if there is any movement that is your problem.

Pin and bushing kits are available and relatively inexpensive. You'll definately need help with the doors when you do this, but it's an easy repair to make.
