Ditto on what Blue Heron said.
Something else about the boat that comes with time. There doesn't seem to be any sea state or wind that the boat feels uncertain in. I've never had a boat like that before(with the exception of the 25 Bertram, but I never had it out in challenging conditions). Everything else always had some combination of sea state and direction that it didn't like, did not feel right in. Gets your attention instantly. My 20 Seacraft did not like quartering into steep 3 footers, the 24 Seabird wouldn't surf for crap on steep waves and didn't like quartering away from 4-5, 23 formulas occasionally develop a horrendous snap roll in steep 3-4 fters. There is always something. Except for the 25. Doesn't seem to matter, it can be crazy scary(I'm dumb enough to be out when I shouldn't) and the boat still feels just fine, totally solid and in control. Very odd and I did not trust it at all at first, but I do now.
