Well, we did it.  My wife and I came across a midship 25 fairly close to home (Orange County California, Boat is in Channel Islands) and went ahead and bought her.  Needs a good cleaning and a paint job, but appears to be in fine condition.  I will try to post some photos in the "Proud Owners" section.  I have read quite a bit of info on this board, but would always appreciate any additional info on these boats.  I think we got a pretty good deal  -- spent under $2000.

Check her photos out and let us know what you think.  Are any of you owners out here in Southern California?
