I can't recall ever actually laying eyes on a Moesly, but the Moesly SeaCraft pages accessed from the CSC home page are chock full of great info. For those of us used to looking at our 23's on a trailer, these pics pretty well illustrate the difference in the hull running surfaces.

These threds about which hulls ride better then the other are basically blonde vs brunette stuff...you will get diff opinions... like all ass**les they are different...so heres mine for what it's worth...and I've been on all of them....I never liked the 25 due to it's lateral instability while up on plane...a boat should not list when peopple are moving about...why do you think Big Fluke chopped his all up trying to make it ride different? so the 25 is my least favorite seacraft out of all of them...the 21 Is a great riding hull and rides much like the 23...It is my opinion that the best riding seacrafts were the 23cc and the 20 cc...

Strick, I'm gonna differ just a bit:
Because of the forward cg and weight difference, and how those affect the ride in a moderate to heavy chop, I'm gonna go with the 23' Savage and the 27' SeaMaster. The 27' SeaMaster rides better than most 33'-35' offshore boats and significantly better than even the Tracker 32' SeaCraft. Honorable mention to the 18' Center Console which has a better ride in a chop than the 20 SF and the 20' Seafari (Both of which I love.) Because of the heavy boat traffic here in Choctawhatchee Bay, the average Saturday or Sunday inshore conditions is always a moderate to heavy chop from May through September. Boat wakes. Downside of the 18' is a propensity to get airborne offshore at anything over 20 kts in 2' seas or higher if the wave period is less than 5 seconds.

Interesting. I'm surprised. My fav, of course, is the 25 Seafari. For running the Gulf Stream, there is nothing like it. Infinitely better than the 20 Seafari and modestly better ride than a perfectly set up 23 Septre(Kmoose's boat)as well as much dryer. Hardly notice chop, most of the time. She does lean, no question, but I got used to that real fast. Tabs take care of it nicely. Inexperienced passengers are another matter. In a sharp turn, the 25 banks like a jet fighter, can scare the pants off the unsuspecting. I warn people.
I've run with 30-32 Contender type center consoles in modestly rough conditions in the Gulf Stream and the 25 was staying in the water. The contenders were launching about every 3rd wave. They were standing up, I was sitting down.
