Macgregor Venture 25

[Stevyboy]

Howdy everyone, I just bought my 2nd boat (well third if you consider one I've owned but not sailed) anyways. Its a 1978 Macgregor Venture 25. I believe I got the boat at a good deal. $2500 for the boat with 4 sails; 2 head, 1 spin. and a main sail in sailable condition. It also came with an 6 month old Honda 8 horse, and a recently redone trailer. Again I think it was a good deal, if not great. Anyways I've never known anyone thats had one of these or sailed one either. Also I haven't known or sailed myself of any drop keel sailboats.

B asically I'm on here asking people for there opionions on what I should or shouldn't do with it, and if there are any major problems I should look for.

Thanks for everyones time. Steve
