The 25 Hydrosport is a great hull who many will defend as one of the best for it's size. To me they are a little ugly though and the sides are way to high to be practical for my application.
I will say that no hull is immune to pounding if the wave frequency is right. The northern Gulf off Northwest Florida with it's long stretches of shallow water has some of the worst wave frequency for boats under 30 feet there is. While at times my 23 amazes me in horrid weather I shouldn't be out in, it can also pound the fillings out of your teeth in a tight 3 foot head sea when the back falls off one before the next one can take it's place. Contrary to popular belief and sadly to say there are no magical sea fairies living in the variable deadrise that cushion SeaCrafts from the laws of gravity and physics.
i still think for it's size class SeaCrafts rise to the top for ride in the widest variety of conditions. If you find one and fit it to suite your needs, I doubt you will ever regret one second of ownership. And like many here that have loved an sold, regret and buy again. I can't think of a more loyal group of boat owners than those whom own or has owned a SeaCraft. It is some delicious koolaide that I will never grow tired of.
