Does anyone have information on a Seaforth 25, mfg by Precision in Texas, about 1980 or so?

From a friend regarding my own '79 Seaforth...

Below is a little more history about your Precision Seaforth 24 (some
may call it a 22). She was first built in Florida where Precision Boat
Works is still located today. She was designed by a Steve Seaton. I
suspect that he based his design upon Sam Crocker's Stone Horse 23 from
the 1930's except that it wasn't quite as double-ended as the Seaton's
Seaforth 24. Sam Crocker was a New England boat designer and sailor. His
son, Sturgis Crocker, built his father's designs in the Crocker boat
yard in Manchester-By-The-Sea, MA which is located near the North Shore
area of Boston

Interestingly, Edey & Duff of Mattapoisett, MA (about 10 miles east of
New Bedford on Buzzards Bay in southern MA across the Bay (west) from
Cape Cod ) manufactured a 23-foot Stone Horse sailboat which was a
fiberglass replica copy of the 1930's Sam Crocker design. It looks very
similar to your Precision Seaforth 24 except I think that it has more
porthole vents and the transom does not round to a point-like end. Edey
& Duff made about 150 of them from 1971 to the early 1980's. They still
are in business today building about 4 types of classic New England
small sailing vessels in Mattapoisett, MA.
