Roger; welcome to the list....I have owned a 1982 25 with a saildrive....it has a design flaw which is not worth repairing...water comes in through the "grommet" on the shaft : I rebuilt mine 3 times before putting an outboard on...best move. We simply glassed in the hole.
The 25 sails like a much larger boat; when a breeze comes up, she heels to about 20 degrees and accelerates...(you will like that); the deck, although cored, is very strong and well built. Keep the bottom reasonably clean and have a good set of sails and enjoy yourself! If you race, you can still out-point many other boats even though the head sail sheets to the toerail...I thought about adding tracks, but you really don't need them. Feel free to call or email me if you have specific questions. It is a great boat...

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.
