Hands down the best ride was the 25' Seafari with twin 165hp sterndrives. Absolutely amazing boat!
Next best was the 27' Seamaster owned by the Royal Bahamian Defense Force that was converted to twin transom-mounted 275hp V8 Evinrudes.
That was only slightly better than my neighbor's '74 23' Tsunami (Scepter) with twin 140 Mercury OBs, or the '75 23' SF with inboard tunnel-drive, which two hulls I rate about even.
Even the 18' Seacraft is better than many 21'-23' boats, by far.

Interesting - questions about the Seafari with twin IO's ...
1. I/O's in salt water use ? Did SeaCraft do anything special -I/O's and salt usually don't mix too well.
2. Fuel economy with those twin 165's ?
3. Fuel tank size and range ?
