Overview
2006 Beneteau 25.7 kept in extremely good order by current and previous owner and lightly used. Orion is the popular lift keel version and is the Yacht Club option with a light grey hull. The boat is powered by the higher specification Yanmar 2YM15 (14hp) inboard diesel engine, providing accommodation for five with a separate heads compartment and fore cabin.This example has benefited from significant recent upgrades including new standing rigging, LED masthead light, new solid boom vang and the purchase of a 2016 Raymarine VHF and Chartplotter which are yet to be installed. The underwater hull is “coppercoated.”
