Like Conner says the ride is very nice once you get used to how to drive the boat. Everything he said above I feel is right on. I have had a 1975 23 Seacraft cc and currently have a 23 sceptre that I co own with another member. The 23 cc was the best and easiest handling boat of the three. I used to get wet once in a while on windy days in the 23cc. It is near impossible to get wet on the 25 seafari. I have a volvo 290 duo prop on mine. One thing that I did was put a aggressive hydrofoil on my out drive which helped lateral stability when up on plane. Last time I was out I had 4 people on it and it rode like a dream. We were out all day people moving all around all the time and no more leaning and adjusting the trim tabs. All this being said I would take the time to go for a ride before you dive into a long project. I have no regrets with mine other then I don't use it much and that's because I have a 20 seacraft that I like to fish out of for skinny water stripers.
