Is that the standard water line on the 25s, or is she a little stern heavy with the twins on the bracket? Boat looks really nice, glad everything went smoothly. What are your plans?

My plans for now are to get her up and running and go fishing!! I plan restore her on down the road. Heres a pic of her in the water getting ready to be towed, she sits pretty level in the water

The waterline aft is much higher than mine, a single 5.7 v8 with outdrive. Might be the old water line designed for twin 6 cylinder i/0s. It looks like his water shot is floating very high, much higher than mine with minimum load. Looks like the chine is out of the water at the transom. Empty fuel tanks?

One thing that will help very much on handling, planing speed and roll is to get a larger fuel tank and put it as far forward as possible. Forward edge of my forward tank is just aft of the step down. You will need the extra fuel for any serious offshore work.

This was one really happy guy grinning from ear to ear, as he was checking her over for the first time.

Phil ... It was great meeting you and look forward to your retun trip to the keys for some LOBSTERS!

Keep us posted on your first fishing trip.

Overkill? Maybe! Nothing's too good for the new baby!

I'm sorry to remind you that your are now one of the infected group. It is chronic, terminal and EXPENSIVE!

That be Harry Harris Park Don...:)

bilgerat, did you try fire up the 150's before being towed?
Nice having friends with good haul rigs..

Good luck with your new addition as well as the sale
of Ole Yeller!!

Congrats Bilgerat!

Nice score. I have often wondered how the 25 would perform with twin outboards. It will be really interesting to see your report. Good luck getting her going and with the sale of your 20.

Put a nice truck camper on there and have a good time!!

no, Didnt fire them up, she had been sitting for too long, Im going to go through the carbs before even trying.
