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.

Note the ride on this video

And note the ride in this one.

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.

Found this rendering done from here on this site. Surely it’s a rough draft but seems like it can be done. I don’t think any hull will ride “better” with an outboard but considering I don’t think I’m capable of going the I/O route if I was honest, I would be happy with the outboard route.

Yeah, I put that together in Solidworks. Anything can be drawn, but not everything actually works. That is an image from a full 3D CAD model with calculated CG and moments of inertia. Short version is that hull needs an I/O or a light OB w a long shaft on the transom (no bracket); a bracket moves the CG too far aft and it will probably take major hull rework to get it right. Think multiple iterations. The 400lb of iron shown in the forefoot of that image wasn't enough. If memory serves me, guys that tried bracketed OBs on this hull usually ended up with over 600lbs in the forefoot before cutting losses and selling.

Thanks for the quick feedback! Those bracketed outboards have the cabin and stock fuel locations?

Default 25 Seafari ride

Ahoy,

I have Connor's old boat and she's still in great shape. I put about 160 hours on her since last March. She's listed for sale on Craigslist as I'm sadly moving on from the paradise which is the FL keys. No complaints on the hull, the cabin was a game changer with my young children and I also added an "Admiral approved" 34" leaning post with back rest.

If the weather is good I'll be bottom fishing at the end of the bar or trolling. If the weather is poor, I'll still give a ride to anyone that wants to see what the 25 is all about.

Reach out to me here or via Craigslist. Or PM Connor on here--Thanks!

Brock

Thank you very much for the offer! I’m in Ocala,Fl. and wouldn’t have a clue how I could convince my wife to drive down there for a “boat ride”. Although, I did somehow convince her to having four (4) boats so maybe I have a shot, haha!

Too bad you have to part with it.

Glaucus,

If she doesn't sell. She'll be in Oak Hill this Summer. Much shorter drive!

On our way to Disney two years ago from Washington DC, I convinced my wife to divert 6 hours and swing thru North Atlanta to look at a boat. Bought it!
