Re: New member. What About a New Seacraft 25?
Ha TG
Sounds like you and most of us as well “that only have, or can afford, or want” one boat have the same dilemma which is how do I get this one boat to accomplish my 4 boat theory desires. I am sure Otto could explain it better then me but basically it is you need 4 boats for all 4 types of boating needs one small boat for flats and bays, one light off shore boat, one sports fisherman or very long CC for long trips and I guess one for lakes like canoes. Any way what ever type of boat you choose will have it’s advantages and disadvantages before buying any boat ask yourself what am I really going to use it for FIRST and then choose one that is rite for you. It looks like you want to use it for longer trips off shore but it also looks like you are trying to make a smaller boat fit those demands. I come from Florida so I don’t know the type of Sea conditions you have up there 50 miles out but it sounds like you might be happier with a boat 28 to 32 feet long that has more weight, more gas and has more length that will be able to carry you over the next wave instead of dipping down in to the belly of the next wave. Down here in Florida a 25 footer isn’t long enough to have you run on plane in big water going 25 to 30 mph. If your heart is set on a SeaCraft I would look at the 32’ you could get a used on for about what a new 25 would set you back.
