Hi there!
As a new member I have some questions regarding a 25+. What is the value of a nice condition, 1978 25+ with a sail drive inboard? It appears the boat I'm looking at has a cambered mast which I find strange. There is an average amount of tension on the rear stay. What should I pay attention to when inspecting a 25+ of this vintage.
Here's the details:
The sails are decent.
Deck and mast step are solid.
Interior very nice.
No leaks, a small amount of water in the bilge, about 3/8 to 1/2 inch.
The paint on the decks and above the water line on the hull looks good.
Tiller has bee changed out for a wheel... I think I'd go back t the tiller, the wheel cramps the cock pit big time.
Head looks good.
Compass doesn't work.
Raymarine depth and knot meter work appear to work.
Electrical works well. Wiring looks clean.
Overall good to very good condition.
I know my way around looking at cars and motorcycles, not boats. But I know when something has bee taken care of, this boat certainly has.
The asking price is 11,500 USD... seems steep.
Comments please!
Thanks,
SL
