You are my E25 Knight in shining armour! After I bought my boat, I found your blog. My boat is a twin of yours. Including much of what you have done. Never around a boT much, niece, bought from people at ya yt? Club. She really isn't too bad. Chain plate leaked, no sign of rust but bulk head rotted. They told me she had not been in water since 2002, illness of owner. She was used heavily racing Great Lakes. Worried about fiberglass damage interior around mast. Rotted bulkhead. They seem to think not a safety issue. I do not want to demast first time out. She has been sitting on ericson trailer all this time. Base of mast plate cracked open, needs welding. Eye on front, just found it cracked. Can not find bilge pump anywhere. Broken hoses in bildge that go under battery box. Unknown what for.end cap missing off boom bang. Have found place to replace.Windows leak. Not too bad, have gorilla tape around them. Leaks around handrails. We're used hard with racing. Holes are larger. Have come up with fix and an oystercatcher fix too. I love your blog. (Had it down loaded once but it did not work well). I would love to pull center board and make new one. I live in s. Dakota (yep, we do have a yacht club, asa, on large reservoir). Fathers day regatta coming up! If it hadn't't been for your blog, I never would have found all my issues on boat. Some thinning on hull. Sink gel coat crack. Etc. Rebuild woulD be great, no one has boat stands around here to raise her up. If weather permits, I can visit her today. Took most of bottom off after I bought her. Had it in front of house till police told me no trailers allowed.
