Let me first qualify my comment by saying I have ZERO experience with a 25' Seafari, but with everything I've read here since the site began in 2002, it appears some members know A) a lot about CG and boat design, and B) know a lot about this particular model. Now here goes my 2 cents...stick with an I/O config in this boat seeing as that is how it was designed. There weren't any OB versions ever made from the factory, so you're in for a lot of unknowns with switching to a bracketed OB. We can all argue the pluses and minuses of both OBs and I/Os, but it appears to me this boat was meant for an I/O (either single or twin) and should be left that way. Stepping off my soapbox now...
