110,000 SEK is $13,300. 1998 4 cyl yanmar, autopilot and awesome swim platform. How much fuel can one stuff in? Can it make it across?

A self-bailing cockpit and large scuppers would help, along with a BIG bilge pump.

Sold to the first family seeing it.

The A25 are still one of the most popular boats for young families over there. They have the priorities right… yes all/most of their life jackets for kids are orange…. I had one like that too..,

I'm sure we'll turn a few heads on the NJ ICW in September. Scandinavia is a whole different culture.

I have spent many evenings sitting atop the fore cabin roof and drinking hot chocolate with my grandchildren. My eldest granddaughter considers it a mandatory ritual. The perfect family boat.

Ah yes! The grands love jumping off the hardtop into the canal. When enough do so at the same time it sets up quite the famous snap back roll.

Family tradition indeed.

I'm sure I can find images of Swedes jumping naked off the A25 into the water...

I checked for fun with one of the yatch transport firms and the budgetary price for Gothenburg to NY is $15,000. Volvo sell cars this way.., U pick it up at the factory, drive it around for whatever u like and return it to the factory and then u pick it up at your US dealership a month or so later. Buy one in Stockholm, do Göta kanal to Gothenburg. Fly home and then pick it up in NY and take it home! Great adventure!!!
