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.

I`ve been on all three. Only Capt. Chuckles and No Boner are willing to dig.
Sick twits went out when I thought Really? They came home.
My 20 slacker is not great in a big follow.
The 25 Seafari will just walk right by.
Just not fair. The 23 is right there and every hull can bring you home, but...
that 25 is just mind blowing. The logic train stopped at the station.
If you look at any of Carl`s designs, you can pull a straight edge along the
longitudinal axis and the chine will intercept the keel and all steps.
3,2, or whatever?
I was too jazzed to pull. I did sight the magic and it was there.
