1972' Seafari 25 Rebuild Project

[Xcomunic8d]

I don’t know of anybody but I’d listen real closely to the guys here. Many of them spent time discussing the design with the designer personally. Terry, nobones, flexpat, and I’m sure I’m leaving guys out.

Also navatek or bigfluke? did serious research on this hull for USN.

Guys who owned this boat
Strick, Cdavisb, blue heron and 6stretch2, ?? Sorry if I’ve left anybody out…

Here’s some vids. This is how I did the same research you’re doing. The boat likes weight forward.

I did all kinds of math jumping jacks and wound up moving cg back 12” no matter what on calculator. Flexpat says you can get to 6” but would need serious freshwater up front. 90 gallons? And a single outboard. Even that is just too much in my opinion- cg compromise and weight add for too little return.

I’m no marine engineer but there are guys here who are.
