I hear you Big, but I'm not talking hull rot etc on this one.........just ride comparison.
Seacraft transom's etc same/ similar issues, scuppers etc.
Just ride comparison - getting interesting reports from knowledgeable owners who have had both. I haven't, so wouldn't know unless I fished them both for a day on the ocean, in typical NJ 2'-4' chop and such to compare:
head into sea
quartering and how wet
following sea
drift characteristic
Overall ......seems from the Mako site and Seacraft the 25' Mako has ride edge, but no matter, it was also 2' longer.
I'm a cuddy boat man these days......fishing the ocean in the heat, the winter, avoiding some sun, avoiding lots of spray, and staying dry.
Running and gunning bird action in the early winter.....my current 96' V21 with curtains - a pleasure as it's also a bit of a heat producer inside.
