Bhm 25 Downeast - Rare! Diesel Power!

1984 BHM 25 Downeast

Up for sale is a unique downeast fiberglass launch perfect for the discerning gentleman, family boat or fishing as well. This very simple but very well constructed vessel was finished by the quality Maine craftsmen at Farrins boat shop in 1984. This should speak volumes for the type of quality and pride this boat was built with as all custom finish shops in Maine are not the same and Farrins is one of the best and held in high regard.

The vessel was originally built for a navy officer who attended Harvard after leaving the US Navy and became a prominent patent lawyer. This was his baby for most of its life until his passing. The original BMW diesel engine was proven unreliable and was subsequently removed and replaced early 2000 ( reported by previous owner) in favor of the ultra reliable and fuel sipping Westerbeke 82B which now has about 315 original hours and is in excellent condition. This will move this boat at about 12 knots. With its full bow, full keel and high freeboard this vessel will take you just about anywhere and get you home safely and efficiently. This boat is a large 25ft and pics are deceptive as to its true size. The hull is in excellent original condition and it is very clear this boat was very well taken care of throughout its life.
