Default Re: Boat porn of a 25 Seafari beasty

For a boat you guys probably never rode in, you sure are spreading some disparaging remarks.
Any boat with a radical deep V and narrow beam such as this is prone to listing, either by weight distribution or wind load. That is what trim tabs are for.
The narrow beam & deep V is precisly why they are offshore boats.
Just look at the video of the monohull racers posted on this site.
As far as weights, I have never come across any & I have been thru my boat pretty thoroughly.
Even if there was, so what?
As far as wind spray, I picked my boat up in Martha's Vinyard in early May. The wind was blowing a solid 20 mph w/
4' rolling in. - no water over the bow or side.
Nice easy ride over to the mainland - That sold me on the boat.
It is MUCH MORE than just a pretty face - the 25' Seafari is a solid performer - whether you know it or not!
