Unfortunately, I am no longer in a position to complete this refit and have to let someone else finish her up.
Please see the details below and let me know if you have any questions.
Previous owner put in a new marine plywood transom and New Stainless Marine full transom bracket
Lenco trim tabs
Powder coated windshield frames, new rubrail.
2003 Quickload double axle trailer, with 4 spare tires and 4 spare hubs, greased and ready. Brakes and lights work great.

Thanks Strick. The gelcoat is original above the rub rail and inside the boat.

Was this the one sitting behind Billfish?

Sure was.

Bump.

Sold!
Couldn’t have gone to a better home.

That would make a bada$$ CC.

do you have the CAD for the pilot house? I would be interested.

Nice boat, Hope the new owner doesn’t hack it to pieces. It’s in really nice shape from what I can see.

Here’s a drawing I found of a 25’ with a pilot house. I thought hard about it but wanted to keep mine a little simpler.

I’m just going with Bimini top that with the current windshields should be fine and less top heavy from what I can tell.

I’d recommend raising the decks or figuring out how to raise the seating. I’m putting a grate in to raise the seats for a better view vs what was with the PO.

That's the sketch I done 5-6 years ago when I was trying to figure out what to do with my 25. Maybe this build will inspire me to get back working on mine.

A mix of the 2 pilothouses would look right to me. Definitely cutting the cap down in the back half, just not conducive to fish or dive the way it is now. I like lower gunnels. Could really have bolted a motor on and gone for a few years but the transom is on its way out. Thankfully thats about all 2 owners ago redid, it wasnt totally bonded in all the way! Everything else looks very sound, havent seen an inch of delam anywhere

Low cap hulls always looked better to me and are more versatile unless you have a high deck and need the freeboard. One thing I dislike on my 20 sceptre, similar raised angled cap. I came close to cutting it down years ago but didn't take that on as I was not planning on keeping it this long. Same deal with the 20 ma, like the 3 piece construction but not the raised cap. When I redo my ma it will be getting a low cap like the sf. The cool thing about the ma is it is the hull is twice as thick as most sf's I seen or at least mine is. Extra weight but some believe that a heavy hull rides better or will stay in the water better in ruff conditions. Anyhow I am excited to see what you do with the 25 DW.fl.

Well it’s a real good drawing frizzle. I came awful close to following it in my seafari 25.

Ultimately it came down to time, money, and wanting to see how it was in its original state before messing with it too much.

My fishing buddy joked we’re gonna need a bucket on a rope to get water for washing down deck and hands. His boat has a very low freeboard.

I think raising the deck would be easier than cutting the cap down. The cap as it is adds a lot of rigidity to the hull. I cut a piece out for the transom redo and was amazed at the difference.

I really like how Dr. Hands pilot house came out on his first one (he has done two 23s now) and this inspired me to think along this route. He is "Handful in NC" up here. Check his out if you haven't seen it. His was made to replace the windshield on the sceptre similar to how I drawn the one up below to bolt to the original base. Also I live near the Parker manufacture and see tons of their pilot house model hulls and always liked them also.
