A 25 Garage Find

[Woody5]

I found a 78 A 25 with Perkins diesel. Has been sitting in storage in the mid west for ten years. It sits on a custom steel trailer that is in good shape.

The boat is almost completely original. Some window leaks and water damage to the cabin. The rear of the helm top looks deformed and is unattractive but the gel coat and bottom look good.

I need a yard to send it to to survey it and help me get it running. Can you suggest a yard around lake Champlain or the Hudson that could help me to get this boat going?

Some places don’t respect this type of boat…..

I was looking at other boats a while back (don't tell anyone) and found one with a Perkins 4-108 engine. Ran across this site while researching that engine. Hope this helps.
