Looking at the lines of the two boats(I do this a lot), the seafari is more cutaway forward and deeper aft. In theory(I think) that should make it ride better in a following sea, up to a point. After that point, less buoyancy in the bow of the 25 might get to be a problem. It can look down right spooky when the bow sinks deep into the next wave. Never has felt anything other than rock solid.
Questions for Denny:
Did the 21 ever feel like it was trying to steer by the bow (and broach) in a big, steep following sea with the boat running a bit faster than the waves?
In the same conditions, did the bow ever sink so deep into the wave in front that it looked or felt spooky?
