I had the Merc 150 Opti on my 21', which seemd like a pretty decent engine. I think it would top out at around 40 mph. The new 25' has the twin Honda 130 four-strokes, which I had wide open and up to about 43mph w/ two guys and half a tank of fuel. I had heard that some people thought that the 25 would be underpowered w/ those engines, but I don't think so. I mean, the boat wil, cruise in the low 30's, which seems plenty adequate. I'm not looking for an off-shore racer, right? And, these Honda's have great low-end tourque.
