70's 25' Seacrafts

[Blackfin26]

Looking for info on 70's or 80's? 25 foot seacrafts. Does this model exist and if so in what variations? Also, would it be a Potter hull? Thanks much, Steve

I recently saw what was listed as a 25 Center Console on the cape. The pics look very much like the 25 Seafari's hull, only it had a pilot house style console. It was hard to tell from the pics . . . does anyone know if there was ever a 25CC that was made? Could also be a modified seafari 25.

I think it was a modified 25 Seafari.

Thanks for the info. I spoke with the owner today from the craigslist add. It was a cabin model that was modified in 2000. Twin 55 gal tanks, side tuna door, 454 and bravo 3, doghouse, tuna rod holders, etc... sounds like a pretty solid rig.

Hey Big S;

Isn't Strict's "Magic Ship" a 25' Seafari? You know the he hopefully will grace us with in reprise of his AMAZING Recon skills!

The 25 was done in only cabin model with twin I/O's inline 6's = not enough power but all they had back then.

Ditto the standard power on the 27' SeaCraft SeaMaster flybridge model. Twin 165hp Mercruisers with 250ci I6 Chevy-block motors. (Which blocks, by the way, were available from 1969 to 1974 as 250hp I6 sterndrives)

The Royal Bahamian Defence Force has a 1970 27' SeaMaster that was repowered in early '95with twin outboards, transom mounted. The transom was entirely rebuilt to hang twin 30" outboards, no bracket.

It was first repowered back in '94 with twin 25" shaft 275 hp 3.4L V6 Mercs with extension kits, it was later repowered with twin 30" 300hp HPDI Yamahas, I think in '02. I have no information on the performance with the Yamahas, but with the twin Mercs it ran about 39-40 knots.

I know they got their original 3.4L Mercs off of my 34' Scarab Raider after I bought it from the US Customs service at auction in '94, when I lived at Compass Point on New Providence Island.

I wish I had the stomach for another restore. For now I'm just kicking back...taking care of business so to speak.
