Own this rare cult classic. The Midship or Parker Dawson 25 is a rare center cockpit design. Clean interior with new cushions/foam, mohagony hatch boards, Sleeps up to 5 in two seperate cabins -- great for families with children. This center cockpit design makes for a very sea-kindly motion on waves and swells and is very safe with high cockpit coamings (back rests). Lots of storage. This is hull 40 of about 400 built. These are one of the strongest most stable boats of this size and many have made Atlantic crossings. It has a pedestel steering wheel. It sleeps 2 in the rear cabin and 3 in the forward cabin with a porapot and a full galley, with sink and alcohol stove, ship to shore radio comes with 2 sails, all rigging and winches full guages. the upholstery is all good The motor runs well. It has a swing keel with a min of 2' draft when up. This boat has the socket for a second mast and was Ketch rigged. It comes with a very heavy duty trailer with newer tires. is in very good hauling condition. we used it the last three years without masts as a harbor cruiser
and party boat. it has a stainles steel bracket with a 50 hp force outboard. we have everything you would need to put back to sail. email me at

Good that a member knows the real story.  Hope he will report to Craigs List.

I would be very skeptical of anything this advertiser says. He used the wording and pictures from the ad for my boat and then added the portion about the outboard motor. At the very least he is dishonest for using pictures of a boat he never has owned. If you do business with this person, don't give any money until you positively verify his ownership.

   

  Hello Gary,

       I am not offended in any way. Come down to East Texas and I'll buy you a beer and take you catfishin.


       It is a very common scam on Craigs list and other internet sites for people to take pictures of cars, planes, boats, and children that have been posted on the internet and try to sell them. My brother is active on a Shelby Mustang site. His car has fraudulently come up for sale several times. The scammer will want up front money, usually sent by wire.

                             The reason I raised an alarm is that your ad fits this pattern.

 If you are a legitimate owner and honestly represent your boat, I have no problem.
