. . . plus some rough seas . . . Connor is a master of understatement! Check out
this post about one of his typical Bahamas trips!
Despite the bulkhead issues, if I was looking for the best riding SeaCraft and wanted something more versatile than one of the race boats, I'd pick the 25 Seafari! With 25 degrees at the transom, it's an even deeper V than the race boats, but has an 8' beam instead of the 6' beam of the race boats The ride of the Moesly 21 is similar to the 25 and more stable at rest with about 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom, but they're even more scarce than the 25! Went for a ride in Connors boat where he got it airborne in some 6' swells at about 20 kts and the ride was unbelievably soft! Check out post #214 in
