I am going to sell this C25 just to keep peace in the family. The Admiral wants a bigger boat...wow, and I thought I would get the disease. It's not that I don't want a bigger boat, but I like this one and I have put quite a bit into her since I purchased Antares from the previous Association Treasurer.

Anyway, I have made many changes to her since the original listing (shown above) was posted. I have redone the bright work and pulled, refinished, and reseated the handrails. It has a new porta potty with electric flush, and I have fabricated a queen size bed frame for the main cabin using an air mattress....almost forgot, there are window curtains as well.

Topside, a Harken furler has been added with a new forestay and a 150 Genoa. (Sails in the original listing have been sold since the furler was installed), New steaming light, running light, masthead sheaves, new windex, and new tiller. I have the old tiller that I can include with the sale. It still has the new tiller tamer attached and it can be moved to the new tiller. Nothing wrong with the original tiller, but it is a straight model and I wanted one that curved upward to allow for more knee room in the cockpit.

I also have parts in stock for replacing both water faucets (galley and head), the kit for pneumatic lift for the pop top, and a new circuit breaker panel for the electronics. They just need installation.

This boat has been fresh water only and is in great shape with no soft spots on her deck.

If you are interested, you may contact me at mkdavis2@gmail.com
The PM function on this website does NOT work for me. It has the wrong email address and I am unable to change it. Thanks

Asking: $8000.00.....NOW: $7500

If interested, I will be glad to take more pictures since the boat is only 40 minutes away.

In my opinion 75% of the earth is water for a reason. That's why I sail.

Gee, it's too bad the Admiral wants a bigger boat! Wish mine did. Good luck with your sale. Somebody's going to get a great boat!

Thanks John, I was surprised too. I have had a hard time talking her into going out. So much so, that we haven't been out this year. I finally had a talk with her to find out why. We went to the boat show last year and she got a good look at a C270. She likes the separate head, enough headroom for me to stand, a separate and well appointed galley, wheel steering, and a ready made bed under the cockpit. I can't disagree with any of that either.
I agree that Antares is a great boat. SeaTrac took good care of her when he was the treasurer for the association. I have done my best to keep that up as well while I was making changes to her that were needed. The furler and the rest have made her a great boat for a 2-3 day trip or longer if necessary. The gas stove is removable by just lifting out the board it is mounted on. So if there are any out there that are nervous about the butane in the cabin, we also have a single burner stove that can go along with her.

Where did you get the fabric for your cushions? I would love to find something similar in a deep green!

DavidP - The cushions were with the boat when we purchased her, so I really don't know. If you are talking about the pillow chushions and drapes, we found the fabric at a Joanne Fabrics store.

Just wanted to add that the Admiral and I spent Sunday before Labor Day cleaning up Antares. She got a good going over in the cabin with lemon oil on the wood and the exterior has been pressure washed bow to stern.
