Re: 25 footers
thanks guys, Capt Chuck,i'll try to get more pics but she's in storage now for the winter. i don't really know how to add more pics to my page but these pics were taken a few years ago right after i cleaned her up. i think the id said 75 in it so i assume she was built in 75 but shipped to the boat show in jan 76 so i really dont know if that makes her a 75 or 76 technically.
John the paint is nothing fancy. i would really like to strip and spray her properly like most of you have done however with my budget and the desire to cruise her immediately, i picked up a gallon of marine paint (don't remember the brand)at the local marine supplier, light sanded the hull and rolled it on. all other fibreglass just needed a good cleaning. i sent the boat to the local canvas guy for a new top and upholstry but did pretty much everything else myself.
a few weeks later i sailed her around georgian bay for a week.she cruises at 17 mph at 3000 rpm and although i baby her,at times she goes 32mph at 4200rpm.
i'm sure glad my grandfather chose a seacraft
