I second Rich's first recommendation. There are lots of boats around going
for peanuts, you don't have to buy a kit boat and spend the next two years
rebuilding it and spending far more money than a good boat would have cost.
Run away.

I have no experience rebuilding boats. And there's really no point in taking
a boat only to deliver it to a scrapyard.
Of course I'm a bit disappointed, I was looking forward to having something

You should not have to worry about a hydrogen explosion, but if you are still
concerned, make sure that the locker is well vented, perhaps both at the top

Hydrogen, being lighter than air will vent

Sander,
I think you made the right decision. Save your money while looking for a more
suitable boat. Once you sign papers, you'll start paying for storage and
electric and insurance and buying parts and tools you'll need and all your free
time will be taken.

For me full keel, but I think an 81 model might be a mark II. I prefer the
older MKI full keel 25s. We got lots of depth around here and afternoon
