Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty
 

Since it seems a rare beast I thought I'd gratify the need for some boat
porn with some shots of a 25 Seafari up the road from me.....it's quite
the hog. The hull is very deep, with high gunnels. Not much deck space with
the side to side engine cover. The scuppers are in the floor at the corners
at the front of the engine box, but they exit the hull through the side...you
can see them in the side shots. The VDH angles look like 25, 17, and 14 plus
or minus a degree. This thing would definitely slice the waves. The cabin
is large with a storage space in front of the helm and a recess for a head
in front of the passenger. Enjoy.....

Looks like a good canidate for a bracket and twin 250's. I like the "flasher" depth finder.

Not a beast at all, but a thing of rare beauty.

Does that have the twin 140's or 165's?

Re: Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty
 

agree 1000%

surprised Strick has not picked it up yet.

Darrel- Thanks for taking the time to do that. We don't have too many photos of that model SeaCraft on the site. BTW what did you do to your hand? looks like you shoved it into a meat grinder :eek:

MBO- one of these days :D

The engine box on that boat is interesting... I'm surprised that SeaCraft would even design something like that eating up most of the deck space.


Here are some photos that I found recently on Photobucket doing a search for seaCraft. I've left the pics large because I did not have time to down size them right now. I hate to see people treat a nice boat like this. I have no idea who took the photos or who owns the boat. Looks like S. Florida from the pics.

Since it's rare I wanted to get some photos for everyone to check out... :D

For my hand, last month I got a 1/2 inch gash across the top of my left thumb....nothing much...3 stitches. But after getting the stitches removed it turned out I cut the extensor tendon.....so then surgery to fix it and now I'm in the contraption in the photo for another 5 weeks or more. It hindering my shrimping (with castnets here in Charleston) and boat projects in a big way. C'est la vie...at least everything is still attached.

Those are cool shots you posted....especially the side view on the blocks....you can really see the how sllek the hull looks. That engine box pretty much ate up all the space...I thought it was interesting that they'd do that.

Re: Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty
 

Comparing the 2 boats, it looks like the twin setup (yellow) had the full width engine box whereas a single (white) had a typical engine box.

I posted this before, but when I had the chance to meet Bill Potter a few years ago, he told me the 25 was his favorite SC. He said it rides like a dream but rolls something fierce with all that deadrise and narrow beam.

Re: Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty
 

Strick said I was wondering if that was the 1st 25' Seafari I ever saw. It was up on blocks with gil brackets all rusted out, but I don't remember the motors. Landscape looked just like that, too. Wasn't S. FL., though. It was New Providence Island, Bahamas, near the Royal Bahamian Defense Force base.

Re: Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty
 

If you look real close at the bow shot you can just make out what was left of the FL numbers, maybe some one can
see them better then me.

See ya, Ken

And look at those fixtures on the console.....they look like one piece fuel tank bolt on plates with fill tube, vent tube, and dual pick-up tubes....
