That 25 looks huge on there! Every summer my parents would rent a cottage on Buzzards Bay and if you know the area, summer afternoons always include a strong SW of at least 15-20 and 2-3' seas. My friend and I decided to do some wave jumping one afternoon and had so much fun that it became a daily routine. After a week we had rattled so many rivets loose that the boat leaked like a sieve. My dad was so pissed because it didn't leak a drop before that. That same friend also let me use his 9.9 Chrysler off his Sears Gamefisher one day and with the additional speed I thought I was running a D-stock runabout!
From that day forward I always wanted more power but Dad never agreed. Oh and that Gamefisher, you never sat directly on the seats with shorts on or else you had fiberglass splinters on your legs. Good times though.
