Wow,
I just found your pics, congratulations on a fine looking old 25. My 25 project is a very close cousin to yours, and it will be later next year before it is complete. I used to sail out of Ft Pierce above you and spent a few 4th of Julys anchored out for festivities north of the Jensen Beach bridge. This 25 will be used primarily in the Crystal River area, but has a good trailer and we hope to get back over there to some of my old anchorages for a few weeks cruising the east coast. We hope ours will be nearly as pretty as yours, inside and out. Great job!
Be well and fair winds to you.

Also just found your pictures. Mine has a way to go. A couple of questions :
How did you strip the chrome on the winches.
What paint on the mast?
What is cabin sole.

BEAUTIFUL !!!

did you decide to remove the lifelines and stanchions? Interested because mine doesn't have any (another oversight when I surveyed her).
