Re: Let's really talk SeaCraft ride characteristics !!
Good in beam or following seas?
I haven't found a bad wave angle in my 25, even quartering, which surprized me. In 6-8 ft, and breaking, following seas, conditions where other boats I'm familiar with would get pretty squirrely, the Seacraft felt like it was on rails, could have been flat calm for all the boat cared. I don't remember my 20 having any issues with following seas.
The 25 is sharper than the 23 or 20 and needs tabs. It rolls more than either, but not near as bad as a 23 formula. It is also very sensitive to the helm and it takes a few days to learn how to bring the bow down perpendicular to the waters surface when its jumping. Very easy once learned, even when its quite rough. That said, its not a boat for the inattentive helmsman.
