Hello All,
New to the owners group and I hope you don't mind, I actually own a 84' Bonum 25, she is basically an Albin 25 hull with a different layout inside and above decks. (There doesn't seem to be a Bonum owners group) Powered by her original Volvo Penta MD17D raw water cooled engine which apparently now has a blown head gasket after spending considerable time cleaning out the exhaust manifold due to overheating. Oh well you know what they say about buying a boat.
I love most things about the boat and what it has to offer in this size boat. Very excited about future journeys, and meeting some fellow owners.
Ben

Hello Ben,
I think I might have met you right after you had just bought your boat. You were in Anacortes next to an Albin 25 and I stopped by when you were checking out your overheating issue. It sounds like you are getting everything taken care of and will be cruising soon. My wife and I were out cruising the Islands in our A 25 when we met you.

Glad to be here
Thanks for the welcome,
Yes John, the boat is made in Kristinehamn, Sweden. It seems that there aren't many of us out there. (relatively speaking) This boat was or is being made fairly recently as the Bonum 800 or the Bonum 255.
Good to hear from you Keith. We had a little fun before the newest problem, eventually we will solve these pesky engine problems even if it ends up needing a re-power. Tearing down the top end of the engine today or possibly later this week as we are expected to get some winds this evening.
