US Yacht/Pearson 25' Sailboat for sale in Louisville, Kentucky

$2,500

This is a 1983 Pearson constructed US Yacht 25. She's an excellent sailing watercraft and you can throw her in the water and sail her this season but she is a task watercraft, though not an awfully involved job. Below I'll provide what she has and exactly what she requires. she is a swing keel. She draws 3.5 feet with the keel up and 6.5 feet with it down.

Exactly what she has:.

VHF Radio.
AM/FM stereo.
brand-new fuel tank.
Marine Head.
diverse fenders.
knot meter.
depth sounder.
compass.
good 9.9 horse power outboard with new fuel pump.
Shore lander trailer with new rise brake actuator in 2012.
2 130 genoas.
One Jib.
One Spinnaker.
One great mainsail.
all lines resulted in cockpit.
New artificial chain plate accessory boards in 2013.

What She Needs:.

She needs a battery.

Just like all older boats she has to eventually have all hardware on deck re-bedded.

There are small leaks around the starboard bow cleat and port windows.

the port windows could be briefly caulked but they need a more permanent repair, i/e. re-bedding with Boat Life Caulk or 3M 5200 sealant.

There is a tiny bulkhead in the most forward part of the v berth and a little partial bulkhead on the starboard side that has to be replaced. The forward v berth bulkhead is about one square foot and the small partial starboard side bulkhead has to do with 2.5 feet by 2 feet. These 2 pieces are delaminating. I'm not sure that the v berth bulkhead really supports any structure but is just there to round off the look of the v berth and the starboard bulkhead is side by side with another starboard bulkhead, in good shape and the 2 make up the hanging locker. The deck over this location is firm and well supported so the one delaminating bulkhead is not precisely important but need to be fixed after this period. I must add that the deck is not soft and is firm all over.

The port side spreader needs 6 pop rivets replaced. Should take about 30 minutes to an hour to drill out the old ones and install new rivets.

She might utilize a bottom paint task but again not so critical considering that she is not kept in the water all year.

No blisters, Yay!

There is a 1/2 inch large 1.5 foot long gouge in the gelcoat on the port bow. I filled it with epoxy to seal the area and it has caused no trouble. I planned to fill the area and fare it out before I painted the hull but I do not have time now. There is no damage to the fiberglass and no water intrusion.

The cabin sole is in bad shape however these trailerable sailboats under 26 feet have really no actual bilge. The flooring was simply glued to the fiberglass hull bottom. Over the years any water that got in the watercraft just soaked the floor till it broke down. I always put a piece of 2 foot wide and six feet long carpeting down every year. I had prepared on putting in a bamboo tongue and groove flooring which withstands water damage well but once again I do not now have the time. The carpet makes it look good however needs to be replaced every year. I simply got cheap outdoor carpet for the task.

As I said she is a project watercraft but with the spreader rivets changed you can sail her all season long.

I cruised her each week in 2013 and had a blast. She's easy to single hand and a joy to sail.

This is a great affordable means to obtain into sailing and within the skills of any normally convenient person to enhance. She could quickly be brought back to a beautiful watercraft.
