I have a chance to grab an 1982 25 with a trailer. Does anyone have any opinion about that model or year? Are there any red flags i should be looking for. comments? suggestions?

Buy them to sail them! Work on them later. I made the mistake of working on my boat for the first 3 years never having it ready in time for summer. My screw up! ..Dale

stout boat, outboard mounting board can fall off. deck stepped mast is too hard to handle for 2 people. I'd say it's close the max of trailer sailors in weight, size and trailerablilty there was one in my YC and it was raced often and hard.
