Yes, they do...

The oday 25 typically has a stub keel with a retractable centerboard. They also made full keels in this model. Some had outboard power on a bracket on the transom, some were fitted with diesel inboards. Standing headroom is less than 6 feet. I like to call it cozy. Nice boats, very sturdy, love mine.

Mike, they made the 25 CB and keel version

From about 1975 to 1983. There were changes made to the design in 1976, 1979, and 1983. They all have the same hull (both the cb and the keel) through out this period. The changes were first in 1976 the cb pennant was routed through the galley. In 1979, they added an anchor locker in the bow and clipped the ice box for better access to the quarter berth. They also made the port berth a pull out full size berth. They eliminated the 2 step ladder and made it a one step box to support the berth when pulled out. They also made a gas tank enclosure in the cockpit and an ice box in the cockpit. In 1983 the changed the design of the ports. The boats all had 5'-6" head room. Not that uncomfortable for a 5'-10" person. The Center board version draws about 2'-3" board up and about 6' board down. I believe the keel version draws 4'-6" and the mast is about 10" taller. Hope that helped. r.w.landau
