Default Re: 25 seacraft......??

Not all the 25 Seafari's were underpowered. I once managed a marina with a 25' Seafari docked there that had twin 225 hp OMC V8 sterndrives. The problem was that the sterndrives were the old OMC 800 stringer mounts. The owner claimed a top speed of about 50 mph for the boat.
In 1987 the boat sank in the Banana River near Cape Canaveral when the rubber gasket around one of the drives tore one day. (The owner said it took less than 10 minutes to go under completely.) I don't think they ever salvaged the boat as it was supposedly uninsured. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
