Hi - just brought my new old '74 E25 (#137) home and I'm in the process of getting it ready for the water.
I'm moving up from a Hunter 23 (it's for sale btw) and so far I'm impressed by the increased quality of the Ericson. Seems like a much stronger boat with better quality of finish. Reading your posts prior to buying the boat was the deciding factor.
Anyway, first question. I'd like to move the bow eye about three inches so it better matches the trailer winch. Moving the eye would be much easier than moving the winch. Filling the two holes doesn't present an issue as there is much body work to do on the hull anyway.
