It is a sign of the times I guess, people are untrusting generally. I thought maybe the classified ads on this SBO site would be a little different. i really want an O'Day 25 with the centerboard to replace my O'Day 22 MH (4'11" headroom). I am living abroad in Bayou Bonfouca. i previously lived on a Catalina 25 swing keel (see avatar) but temporary health issues and a misguided now ex-wife ended that. I have cash and an income. But do not have any family or friend connections. If any of you guys could refer me to a 25 or 26 with a communicative seller I sure would appreciate it. thank you Jimmy Mc
