Good pix of CD25 with a diesel installed...

[Didereaux]

Excellent set of photos accompany this listing. A westerbeke is installed. Also note the additional winches. It appears from the photos that they also replaced the 'rammer', i'e' the bronze stemhead assybley. At any rate it's certainly not your 'run of the mill' 1973 CD-25.

Hello Didereaux:

Thanks. I think this is the one that "Ronkberg" identified the other day in the "For Sale" section as being on Ebay.

Henry Hey, you wanted to see pictures It looks like now they have pictures on Ebay of the diesel, shaft, etc.

As I had said in the other post, I am very reluctant to buy anything on Ebay - except maybe diving equipment. I do not know enough about sailboats, etc., to know if what has been done is good, bad, of little concern, etc. Way too many modifications. Too many risks buying without a survey.

Fair winds,

Wow. If this was a CD25 that was a lot of work. It looks like it was done fairly well, although that Diesel looks like it might need a little love. If you look at the Q&A section on the listing you will see that the owner states 'this is not a CD25'.

It must have been a CD25 -- the D wasn't made in 73 correct?

I also didn't understand the statement about not being a CD25. Every detail shown fits the CD25 of that vintage. Was the writer intending to say that it was not a CD25D? Could it be that the writer doesn't know about the original CD25?

I've seen that boat around these parts. I believe it hung on a mooring a mile from mine for a few years. It is indeed a very early CD25, so it wouldn't have a bronze stemhead casting up front.

It's also listed on Craigslist; http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/boa/335767171.html

There is another very similar early CD25 with a diesel along the coast here too.

Best,

Nobody made note of the REAL downside of this boat - the diesel took out the roomy cooler! How is the Captain going to get his cooling liquid refreshments while underway?

The motor well is no longer needed as such...a little glassing, a lot of insulation and VOILA! A two week COOLER supreme! (okay with extreme rationing)
