Greetings all. About eight months ago I began my search for a C25, and discovered this wonderful forum. At that time I posted my interest in buying a pristine 89/90 wing, and I received several responses from members. To make a long story short, I recently purchased "Tenacity", #5994, from one of the Association members with whom I had originally corresponded.

So it is thanks to this forum that I found my boat. In addition, several other members were extremely generous with their information, time, and expertise. Chief among these is "OJ".

A big reason that I wanted a C25 was this forum. The depth of knowledge and generosity of the members is amazing. I hope to contribute, as well as to learn, from you all. I joined the forum months ago, and now that I have purchased "Tenacity" I joined the Association. As someone else said, it is the best $22 that can be spent. I will post photos as soon as I learn how.

Best regards,

Jerry Wegman

It works! Many thanks to GaryB for directing me to the link that explains the photo posting process. As an aside, I drove 1400 miles (each way) to buy Tenacity. She was at a small marina on Lake of the Woods, Minnesota. The tow experience went well. More on that at another time.

Best regards,

Jerry
