    The Northern 25 is an older boat that was built during the 1970s, and it can often be found for well under $10,000. It started off as the "O'Day Outlaw 26". Northern Yachts got the molds for this boat and apparently added a fin keel and larger cabin and marketed it as the Northern 25. It's not a bad looking boat, but its appearance is dated by it spoon bow. One minor annoyance with this boat is that people seated in the cockpit will have difficulty seeing over the cabin top because it arches up over the centerline to give an impressive 6' 2" of headroom down below.
