cdavisdb (Conner) has the most experience of us all with the 25... he had one for years and made several Bahamas trips. It's a great ride in a head sea as are all seacrafts. The 25 will turn into a sharp bank like a F16 fighter jet. It's a little unnerving the first time you try it but don't worry it will not flip over... you could almost reach out and touch the water if you have long arms. I had a 25 with a 350 duo prop. The thing I did not like about the boat is that it is very sensitive once on plane. just having people moving about on the boat is enough to change the attitude while at speed and you may reach for the trim tabs. It was suggested above that auto trim tabs would be a good idea. We are very much looking forward to this project as it's not been done before here. There was a 25 center console up in the North east Bigshrimpin may remember it better then I do and have some input...Thanks for posting If you load your pic to a desk top they should load up right otherwise I can flip them over for you..

I remember the 25 CC conversion that was on the Cape, well Bourne I believe (not intending to start a debate about what is and is not "the Cape"). Seemed to be fairly dialed in but my memory is fading so maybe Bigshrimpin can chime in with a recollection. The auto tabs also seem like a great retrofit to deal with the significant dead rise. I've wondered how twin 200's, transom mounted but spaced fairly far apart, would do? Less tender at slow speeds and on plane?
