I have just been (almost) given a very nice E-25+. She has the original saildrive(?) which isn't running, but has an outboard mounted on the transom. Don't know what is wrong with the saildrive, or even if its worth fixing, but that's not the jest of my questions.
Knowing the draft is a little excessive for coastal cruising here in Texas, is this a boat that y'all might feel comfortable in cruising the Gulf Coast of Mexico and beyond in? My other boat is a Neptune 24, which is very shoal draft (2.5') and is perfect for the shallow bays we have here in Texas.
Or....maybe I should sell them all and buy something a little bigger? I don't have any aspirations of circumnavigations. Just dreams of cruising south for warm sunshine, hot women, and good rum!
