Albin25 in Florida

[jerridsc]

I’ll be visiting Fort Pierce, Florida from Feb. 10 to Feb. 15. I’m working on an A25 project boat here in Wisconsin, (see “Barn Find” in past forum posts). I would love to see a functioning A25 for inspiration anywhere in that area. Let me know of the possibility.

Thanks,

There's this 1976 Deluxe model listed on CL located in Margate, FL, near Fort Lauderdale 93 miles south of Ft Pierce, but it's a non running semi-project boat that's been dry docked since 2004, selling for $12K with trailer. Which I guess if anyone in that part of the country is looking for an A25 & willing to take on a TLC project this one might not be such a bad deal, comes with a "new" 2007 aluminum trailer, "rebuilt MD17C with new rings & gaskets, rebuilt injectors & Bosch pump." (sic) Otherwise unless the owner has parts stashed that are not shown in photos, it's pretty well stripped down, no docking cleats, no sign of cockpit canvas, no cockpit floorboards, no swim platform, no electronics. But if the engine is indeed in good running condition, throw another $3K or so into canvas, dock cleats (OEM style teak cleats are about $50 each from Plastimo), ground tackle, electronic upgrades, and other commissioning items you'd have something.

The back arch of helm roof seems flattened on that boat
