Thanks BLT2SKI,
That link gave a good bit of missing info on the boat.

Just to update what I have found:
  • Big cockpit
  • Some have wheel steering and inboard engines
  • The dog of the SJ fleet at a PHRF of 245 20-30 slower than Ranger 23s and Catalina 25s.
  • Not fractional rigged, that came with the SJ7.7
  • Standing headroom, (which I like) not the case in the C25.
  • Stub keel and centerboard configuration with short mast, makes it easier to launch but affects performance.
  • Right under 6000 lbs with trailer, which puts in my current vehicles capacity.
It sounds like a possible good fit for me, it sounds at least worth a roadtrip to inspect. The big winner will be the room in the v-beth all other things being similar.

Opinions anyone, would this be a good boat for cruising the San Juans or Channel Islands for two?
