Frank! What are you thinking? Another Boat? No boat? Armageddon? I am contacting everyone who has ever shown an interest in a 25.... but please, tell us why you are selling.

To everything there is a season...

I plan to go boatless. I can only hope the amputation is quick.

Thanks,
Frank

Frank - I am really sorry to hear this and I can't imagine what you are thinking! Boatless?

Want to start a pool on how long that lasts???

I don't give it more than 2 years. (I once went 2 years without a boat).

Good luck with the sale and wherever life takes you. Your contribution to this association has been 2nd to none.

For anybody lurking out there and thinking about the C-25, 1989 was the beginning of the last evolutionary step for the C-25, just a little more than a year before Catalina apparently decided it was too costly to build, and too heavy for the evolving "trailerable" market. This is the pick of the litter, and from what we members know, Frank's is impeccably maintained and nicely upgraded. If I were in the market, I'd probably be on the road to Kansas right now.

Frank--I'm a bit mystified... All the best in whatever comes next. Several of us can attest that there's life after the C-25.

Hey Frank
I think you priced your boat way, way too low.

Just think, there may be an Ericson 32 in your future someday.

Good luck to you in all that you do

Second time since we bought ours less than 2 years ago that a real jewel of a boat has come up for sale on this forum. It'll be a great buy for someone. Don't be a stranger, Frank!

Thank you everyone for the kinds thoughts. The response has been swift and dramatic. I expect to close on the boat Saturday but have many interested people if this sale does not work out.
