Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for access to your pictures. Congratulations on your new 25D. She looks like a fine specimen. I’ve had my 25D almost 9 years ago and have no regrets. 25Ds IMHO are perfect for single handed coastal cruising and day sailing. There must have been several originally sold in your area. Mine was delivered at Fox River Marina in Oshkosh, WI. I bet you can’t wait until spring…
All the best

So true! I'm really eager to get her shipshape.

Thanks for the tip about Fox River Marina. Lake Winnebago has a very shallow shoreline, so I'd been wondering which marinas might be able to handle a boat with a little draft. I'll probably keep the boat on Winnebago for a year at some point.
