CD-25 Cruiser Re-Hooked

We would like to attend the Ling class. Thanks, Chris and Julie.

Hi C-Brats, I purchased a new CD-25 back in 2006 and sold it in 2012 (SeaHooked), as I really didn't have the time available to justify the expense. That was a sad day as it was an awesome boat. Fast forward- I just retired in January and now have time. As a retirement present to myself, I...

SeaHooked has been sold.
