numbers on my sons seafari 25

[cdavisdb]

1.5 feet longer sounds about right, but the beam on my 25 is real close to 8 ft, probably exact. Isn't the 23 also 8 ft?

I've stood next to all three, 21,23, and 25 together, in the water. There is surprisingly little actual difference between the three, way less than you would think. In terms of usable space, Moose's 23 Septre is far bigger than my 25.

I measured my 25 above the above the waterline (where I'm mouting a bracket) at 82"
Roughly the same area on the 23 is 90" if I remember correctly. I can measure again tonight when I get home.

Not the same, the 25 is actually about 6" or more narrow than the 23' hull. I had a bracket off a 23 and placed it to the rear of my 25 and it hung past the sides about 3" each side. At least the transom is narrower, I don't know about the max beam at the widest point but know the rear is narrower.

The performance doesn't surprise me I was getting 46-47 mph (40 knts) wide open with the 27 foot seacraft race hull with an old wore out 225 mercury. Im sure it is much lighter than the 25' but 35knts is still awesome for the seafari.

I always enjoyed this quote from Moose...
Here are a few pics from the meet. The first one I call.... "21 foot my ass" As you can see, Terry's 21 towers over my 23 Tsunami!

we took it tuna fishing for the first time this past weekend and it took the seas great we are still trying to get used to how it leans every time we turn even a little bit.
