Default Re: 25 Carolina Classic

I fish on one regularly - 25 Sportfish with the volvo 235 hp KAM D42 turbo diesel and 290 duoprop. Gets about 3-3.5 mpg at 18 knt cruise and is a great riding and fishing boat. tops out at about 25 knots. It has a 25 deg. deadrise so it rolls in a swell if drifting or slow trolling, but even so I like riding up top in the tuna tower looking for fish...definitely go diesel with this - its a big heavy boat yet it trailers well. Nearly 100 sq feet of cockpit space. Very fishy boat with a nice cuddy and swing-away port-a-potty. Beautiful boat, too.
