Cutting fiberglass is pretty easy. I've always used a handheld saber saw and a fine blade. Start by using a pencil to draw the outline of the hole. Make a 3/8" hole at one corner and put the blade through the hole to start sawing. The trim on the radio

We placed our cd/radio in the pedestal that contains the drawers under the aft sink. The radio just clears the sink bottom, and a little teak trim hides the radio face. While sailing, you can lean in and adjust the volume.

My Radio/cassette player is located to the right of the master panel. I like the idea of changing it out to a CD player.

The name of my C25 also came with the purchase of the boat and after having it for about a year I've become use to it.

Nancy - I also sail on "By George" - but it is the 50' Prout Catamaran on the Texas coast. The skipper's name is Ed - so I must ask him how the boat got its name.
