Here's a 1991 25. It's a different hull entirely than the 1976 - 1983 25's.

BG - I'm assumed that you were talking about the formula splash 1976 - 1983 Mako 25's. They are good riding hulls same as formula 233, albemarle 24, early contender25, seavee, whitewater, rampone, competition, bluewater23/25, Tsunami 23, and the thousand others. If you are thinking about getting one . . . I would suggest buying one of the better built knock offs over the rott box Mako . . . If you weren't going to buy a 23 seacraft.

Big - asking per my original question after an experienced contact I know advised that his older mako 25 rode considerably better than his 23’ Seacraft. Contact knows boats as well as anyone so i find this interesting. As you may know, I’ve been ocean fishing my 96’ V 21 within its limits for a few years now - enjoying the great layout for a 21’ boat.
I’ve also been a lurker for 23’ Sceptre.....but never been on one to substantiate the claims of how much better it rides. I never find this a boring topic......as I guess you know.. I have been on older 25’ Mako, though not in choppy seas.

I've ridden in an early 1977 25 (many times) the ride is good just like a formula 233. The ride in a 23 seacraft is very good too. I prefer the 23 Seacraft which is why I own one.
Splitting hairs. Just remember when you are comparing the the "Ride" of these boats the Sceptre Helm is probably 5+ft closer to the bow than the helm of the Mako. It would be like driving the 25 mako from standing in the front fishbox ; ). That 5ft makes a difference in your "ride". If you want to be objective be sure you are comparing apples to apples .

Honestly begreene, I can truly say I have never seen one such as yourself
that has been agonizing over whether or not to buy a SeaCraft or not for all the years you have been contemplating this decision ! You need to figure it out and just do-it..... Like me you are running out of calendar if you are over 60...  How many more years do you really think you have ??? Whatever it is a Mako, Seabird, WellCraft, AlumaCraft....  Just make up your mind and DO-IT !!!

Aware of helm location ……….ride can still be compared as we've been discussing specific to overall performance in the assorted areas.
Really like what Moose did with his Sceptre by extending the cuddy back approx. 2' etc. Looks even better and helm further back. Seacraft should have made that adjustment over the years.
