Hi Sander,
On the top right corner of the transom there should be the serial number molded into the hull. Mine reads like this: CCY253711174. It is broken down as C&C Yachts Niagara on the Lake Plant, model (C&C 25), hull number 371, hull laid down in November of 1974. There should also be an aluminum plate pop riveted to the forward side of the gas tank compartment. It will have the C&C logo on it and have some numbers stamped into it. Mine reads like this: 250 371 75. It is broken down as model (C&C 25), hull number, model year. Because my boat's hull was laid down after August in 1974 it is classed as a 1975 model year boat.

Very useful! When you say that C&C had a factory in Germany, I think it's closer to the truth to assume that the 25 has been built there and the seller has the wrong year, but we'll see. Are all C&C 25's numbered and if so, where could I find this number? Then it would be a lot easier to track its history. Cheers, Sander ----- Original Message ----- Sander, For a brief period in the late 1970's, C&C had a factory in Germany. The C&C 25 is one of the models that was built there. Occasionally, I see one for sale in Germany. But your boat (1974) was built before the German factory opened. I've had my '73 25 for six years, and I'm very happy with it. I'll send you the best reviews I have come across, off-list. It has a reputation as a well-built, good sailing boat. I doubt anyone would sail one across the Atlantic, but if someone did, I'd love to hear the story! The inboard in that boat is probably a Vire. As these engines were built in Finland and Denmark, you may have better access to parts and service in Holland than we do over here. The space around the inboard is very tight. There is no bridge deck. Several of the C&C 25's I've seen with an inboard have had an access port installed in the cockpit floor. I am aware of one C&C 25 that had the Vire replaced with a small Beta Marine diesel. Most people will recommend scrapping the inboard gas engine and mounting an outboard. The transom bracket is a real pain in the butt. Buy a good bracket, one that can mount an outboard with enough power to push the boat (8 hp or more) and with a 25 inch extra long shaft to keep the prop in the water. Look for wet core in the deck, especially around the chainplates and in the cockpit floor. Check to make sure that the bulkhead is solid where the chainplates are foundated. In the bilge, look at the washers under the nuts on the keel bolts. The washers should be replaced if they are badly corroded.

I really like how it looks, and I have a bit of a weak spot for IOR class boats J Thing is, I couldn't find much information about this boat, nobody I know in Holland has ever heard of C&C Yachts. So far, I've learned it's Canadian build (1974). Makes me wonder how it got to this side of the pond, are they such seaworthy boats? But what I really would like to know, what are its strong and weak points? What should I be looking for when I go out to look at this boat? The seller has already informed me that the balsa core at the stanchion bases is bad and needs to be repaired. The seller has dismounted all the hardware, including engine and saildrive. It has an inboard gasoline engine, but frankly I'm scared of gasoline inboards so if I buy this boat, I'll try to exclude the engine (or maybe trade it for an outboard). Thank you for any advice!
