GONZO my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat

GONZO my Freedom 25 yacht:
This blog will document the continued restoration of my 1982 Freedom 25 sailboat, along with all the experiences I have. I purchased my F25 in the winter of 2009 from the 3rd owner who had the boat in NH. Gonzo has a composite rotating winged mast, yanmar inboard diesel, a Gun Mount spinnaker pole and staysail. This is my 1st cruising sailboat and I look forward to learning how to maintain and slowly restore and sail in Narraganset.

Water line:


Having my F25 inside I have noticed the bottom paint is started to peel and chip off in some places. After scraping off the paint that I could I noticed that their is a water line which is much lower then the one on the boat. From looking at the transom pics you will see the lower water line puts the stern out of the water, maybe the difference is the inboard diesel or not. But from talking to people these boats they suffer from the stern dragging in the water, maybe by moving weight around I can help solve this problem?
