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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln3Y1A_RNCM And note the ride in this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aR5yg-LfFI 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.

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 |

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! |
