25.5

Steve, my first sailboat was a 1985 H25.5. What a fantastic first boat. I can't say enough good things about that boat. I know nothing of the 77 25 but the 25.5 wont dissapoint you.

Both good boats

I'd visit them both, lie in the bunks, sit in the cockpit, look at the lines, then pick the one I liked, and be sure a survey was written into my contract. By the way, a GPS, and a depth sounder are about all the instruments you need to start out. Adding more basic instruments is relatively easy, and the prices aren't so high today.If the 25.5 is over your budget, keep looking - there are lots of great boats out there (remembering the need to survey.)DavidLady Lillie
