Odd trailer arrangement - the waterline doesn't appear to be parallel with the main frame which makes me wonder if the wing sits flat on the wing bunk (70% of the boat weight should rest on the keel.) Also looks like the wing keel could get hung-up on the keel guide . . . hmmmmm.

Another 6-8" forward would lower the stern, lift the bow and make it firm against the bow support (V).
One of the last few C-25s made, with the coveted wing--the picks of the litter. RF, good engine,... the price looks fair to me.
I agree with Dave, the boat needs to move forward on the trailer. This will lower the stern and then make it easier to retrieve and launch. On my trailer I built keel guides to keep the wing from hitting the posts. Works great for retrieving in a cross wind. The motor is too small for offshore but should be OK for a small lake. I wouldn't want to push into 5 foot seas with that. A Honda 8 hp power thrust extra long shaft would be the engine to put on that boat for offshore use. The 8 has a cam for low end torque and is better than the Honda 10 for sailboat use. That is a good price. About what I'll let my 89 go for whenever I get around to selling it if someone wants to refinish the teak. I'm too busy restoring my Ericson to get around to it. Frank I have been meaning to get around to it for the last two years!
