Roger, Good luck with your search.
No opinion on the boat but lots of experience with outboards hung on transoms. If you are sailing in relatively calm waters they are fine. In any kind of a seaway, however, all you will get is lots o' noise with very little thrust at a time you probably need it most. Engine just lifts out of the water every time bow goes down into a wave. David F. Risch, J. D.

I am going to look at a fresh water C&C 25 built in 1982 a second time and wondered about any ideas of what to look for that is specific to this model. I believe this boat has a cored deck and cored hull, so will look for any respective issues with water intrusion, deformities, etc. Boat has been sitting for past 8 years (indoors) so assume it may be difficult to identify and wet areas of decking, but will look for any cracking or deformities around stanchions, fittings, mast step, etc. Boat has a 15hp OMC saildrive which needs a rebuild (seized) , so thinking strongly of removing that and filling in the hole and going with outboard. (engine is already out, but drive is stil in). Interested in any other thoughts on potential problem areas to check out. Thanks!
