I've had my C&C 25 MK II (1980) for just over a year now. We're having a great time with it. The cabin is what really drew me to her, and it's just right for glorified camping! It has an 8 hp Honda outboard long shaft mounted on the transom. I'm on the Potomac near DC, so the prop stays comfortably in the water. I certainly had some frustrating hobby-horsing on the Chesapeake where the prop was spending far too much time out of the water. It was pretty choppy though. The 25 handles far better under sail.
I'd love to go electric, but the upgrade would be about what I paid for the vessel :-). Also, the toe rail and hull/deck joints have needed some attention as noted earlier. There was also a not-very-elegant silicone caulking repair along the hull/deck joint. I removed most of that, put in some butyl tape and re-tightened the fasteners. Took about 30 minutes. So far, so good! The PO did some mast step repairs, so that's clearly worth checking too. That said, I went in about as ignorant as can be and consider myself lucky to have stumbled onto the C&C 25. Best of luck!
