Bayfield 25 Cruising Questions

[mistersmith2017]

I am looking at getting a 1976 Bayfield 25 with Yanmar Diesel. I love the looks of this little boat, it's build quality and that shallow draft yet full keel! I've yet to sail in one though, but everything I read says it's for me. I have a few questions.

Has anyone put or seen dingy davits on one?
How long does it take for one man to take the mast down? I've read it's easy.
It has the 8hp Yanmar...any comments on that engine?

If anyone has a Bayfield 25, I'd love to hear more feedback on it...specifically related to long term cruising. I've googled the heck out of it and want more reading material.
Thanks!
