This may seem a bit silly, but I can't figure out whether the 1980 C25 I recently purchased is a standard or tall rig. There was no paperwork with the boat, and I never met the prior owners. Does anyone know how I can find out? Thanks.

Lionel - stand up in the cockpit. If the boom is 5' above the sole - it's a tall rig. (I'm 5'6" tall and if I let it the boom will clobber me at jaw level!). If it's higher than this, you have a short (or standard) rig.
