25 seafari

Gotta love that blue. Almost the same color as mine. Yours has several great features mine doesn't. The flip up doorway will save your head from some serious dents (personal experience) and the storage area in the transom you will love. I had to add storage aft of the transom to mine. Yours also has a shorter engine box that is a lot easier to handle.

Good luck with her and keep us posted.

help found blisters on bottom below water line what do i do to fix this problem ?thanks george the 25 is real big beside the 20! eng mec is working on getting them running now!

Sand out all the blisters and apply fairing compound such as System 3 quick fair then sand smooth and apply epoxy barrier coat to the entire bottom. Are you planning to paint the entire boat?

strick dont know yet if going to paint all the boat i do not like blue and boot stripe is way above water line thanks for info on blisters what causes them? george

[ScottM]

what causes them?

Osmosis. Water gets in/under the gel coat and causes it to lift from the glass. Remembering back to the photos of your boat in the water, it appears it sat for quite some time. It tends to be more of an issue on southern boats since they spend up to 12 months/year in the water.

Just for comparison sake, I looked at my old boat log and a 350 Pleasure Craft inboard that I had with 600 plus hours on it tested this way.
