Hi, I'm in the market for a daysailor, a few nites and weekends possibly, shoal draft for west coast of florida. I'm a novice sailor, but know how to windsurf, have taken sailing lessons, crewed on boats. I want something safe, a bit on the fast side, cruiser/racer. I came upon an ericson 25+ 1984 for sale, draft 3'11", wheel steering, roller jib, pics look good, looking at it in person in a few days. It has an inboard diesel Yanmar 1 cylinder in good working order per owner. Owner seems to have everything well documented and seems to keep it in good shape per our conversation. I'm trying to find out more about this model, what are it's known problems? any problem areas to pay particular attention to? is it a safe boat? fast? ANY info. on this 1984 ericson 25+ would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Doug

I'd recommend getting a surveyor to give it a once over; it'll be worth the cost. Good luck.

More info

The 25+ is a real good boat. Practical Sailor did a review of it, which you can order from their website. They liked it better than just about any other 25 footer, and were very impressed by the use of space below. It has typical Ericson quality and performance, and is definitely a step up from the Catalina, Hunter, Columbia, etc. competition in that size range. There are no glaring design weaknesses, but you might want to ask the same question on EricsonYachts.com - lots of 25+ owners follow the forums there ("Information Exchange" section).
