Welcome to the forum. Nice to see that you went to visit a place that I call home! Where are you based?
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

Very nice looking boat. Welcome!
Whats the history on the boat, where did she come from? There was another very clean 25 at my marina last year but with a different name. I think it was sold.

I found the boat on craigslist and then lost the link for it over the winter,,, so was talking to sales man at MM boats in Essex MD about a boat in the size and price i wanted to spend and he had just sold one but then showed me the picture of this one and it was the one i originally wanted

so put big hunk down on it and waited for river to thaw to do sea trial

Boat was stored at Middle River Marina which went by Riley's Marina until last year the boat is 3 owner boat and same mechanic for last 20 years who is still at the marina so knows all the work done on the boat ,

Lol, I know the situation
I received a 25' Cruiser inc as a fixerupper in the fall, and over the winter I bought a Trojan tryfly.
The Cruiser I will use this year, and the Trojan.... well who knows:)
The 10 and 11m are very nice as well, but are a little out of my range.
