Sounds like a reasonable price. Concerns would be the age. Check to be sure there is no delamination or rot between the fiberglass. Check the centerboard mechanism. 4HP may be a bit light, but 25 is way too much. You don't want a lot of weight hanging on the back of the boat. My 22' Catalina sailboat has a 6HP 4-stroke and that is more than plenty to get me home when the winds get too high. Moving to a 20' lets you go out in higher winds and stay dryer. That size'd boat does not capsize - it just sinks. It also lets you go down below and have some privacy when nature calls during those long sails around the broads.
