Default 25 Sea Vee

This is my friends 25 Sea Vee he just splashed after a multi year restoration. Its 77. He had the stringers, transom and floor replaced before he started bolting stuff on. The pics suck, next time its on the water I'll snap a few. The console is a pod type with a raised center dash from 29 tides, the coffin box was a craigs list score, the leaning post/live well is from a pioneer. I helped him paint it(awl grip). He modified the engine bracket. Has a pair of 2.5 200 EFI's with 20" offshore mids, spinning 26 choppers, it ran 68 on the rev limiter with the 24's using no trim. Got a pair of CLE's on the way to fix the water pressure issue













if you look hard in the back left corner of the first pic, you can see my rock buggy

That turned out, what a beauty. The leaning post, boxes and console work well together. Shiny..and fast.

Ridge got the bracket right, He bought it used, had it blasted. He welded the ladder piece and the grab handles on it(he builds t-tops for a living) before we painted it(my buggy has a fine coat of white awl grip on all the steel). After he bolted it to the transom, he cut the epe' wood to fit in the opening. Charlie, its a bunch more hard work, trade outs, swaps and more hard work than $ on this boat. The only thing he farmed out was the glass work on the transom, floor and stringers. He's done everything else himself(with some help from time to time) I'll get some pics of his Superboat tomorrow

Hard work,swaps and trades are the best way to go. I have a bunch of people ask me the same thing about my build. I have hardly any money out of pocket invested in mine because I've sold alot of old boat parts and outboards I had laying around. Beautiful boat by the way!!!!!

Holy cow thats nice.

Is there any difference in the cowlings on the EFI vs Carb 2.5L Mercs? I like that motor paint job. I might have to order me some new decals, maybe "150 Offshore"???? make it a sleeper
That is some high quality boat porn right there Spare.
