Thanks for the replies. I recently had a chance to look at a 25 at the Bass Pro in my area... I checked out the area undeneath the console where the porta pottie is located... To enter through the console door,(front of console/seat) you must lift it up with the assistance of 2 rams that actually hold the door up. Any experience with these rams corroding? or this system failing? The Bilge access door at the transom looked abit tight for larger adults to actually enter. Any problems to look for in that area? What Transom bracing to look for?. ** Any idea on performance, 25' with Optimax 250hp or Verado 275hp? Thanks, Homey.

The rams are like that because of the design of the hinge for the console door. The rams actually help hold the door shut, as well as open. They are mounted so that once the door closes so far, it passes the fulcrum point of the hinge and pushes it shut as well. It helps to prevent any "slap" from the door if the person piloting the boat catches a rough wave, and the console door is not latched. As far as the transom goes, you should not have a problem with it. I can't really give you performance numbers with 250 opti's, but we were able to hit 56 mph with two 200 opti's . I'm pretty sure you will not be able to purchase the SC 25 with dual 275 Verado's.If there is anything else that I can help you with please do not hesitate to ask.
