Boats like Fisher 25?

Having been out for a walk through a boat yard, and having seen 2 or 3 Fisher 25 Motor sailer's, they look as though they would be ideal for my Wife and I.

But... we would rather a newer boat, than a 40-year-old one!

Are they still made? If not, what would the modern equivalent be?


THANKS, Chris

Re: Boats like Fisher 25?

I am not too sure about a 25 model but I would like to have a 30 or even 34.

I chose an older, Alberg 30, because thats what I could afford. Its seems to be to money better spent and easier for me to handle the outlay of money. I could have an old boat for 20-30k, refit and build it out for another 20k and have quite a nice finished product for 40-50k or so.

Most boats that would be anywhere near similar to a Fisher 25, if still available, would prolly set you back 125-150k minimum, a Fisher 30 or similar would be prolly 250k...

This is how I justify an older boat in my head. Because If I had to wait until I had 150K cash to spend on a project or toy, I would never be or go sailing.

Good Luck.

PS Check out Lackey Sailing LLC | Restoring and Rebuilding GreatÂ* Boats, he is refitting and building a Fisher 30 that was sunk! Very good and well documented build

Re: Boats like Fisher 25?

Many Thanks!
Especially the news about the new ones that are just starting to be built :-)
Looks like a trip to Southampton in September!

When did they stop builing the last ones?
