Ryan: your dinette table attaches to the starboard hull? I suspect it's the port side.

I sail my swinger in the Chesapeake, which is considerably bigger and potentially rougher than an inland lake of your size. After eight years of crossing the Bay, sometimes in some pretty rough stuff (small craft warnings), I have tremendous confidence in the integrity of this boat. I replace the keel hardware every 2 - 3 years, because this is saltwater (for which the swinger was never designed). In a freshwater lake, you will have less corrosion and fewer issues.

Go sail and enjoy it!

Thanks for the reality check Brooke, it is attached to the port side. On another note, the OB is attached to the port side (I'm sure this time:) and from reading the archives, this was most likely an error from the previous owner(s)? Is this the case.

Thanks to everyone for all their input!

No Ryan, it is not the case. Earlier C25's had factory installed OB mounts that were installed on the port side of the transom.

Thanks Don. The installed looked to be a factory job, but it never hurts to ask!
