Dreaming of a V25

[SkunkBoat]

last page of the thread he gives numbers

"57.9 Top End so far.
Gets around 1.7/1.8 at 35MPH. Above 45 it is 1.3 or so and above 50, well above fifty if you are moving really fast for a heavy boat. Never goes below 1.0 MPG however. "

DAMN! I've been scouring the Boat Trader looking for that model North Coast fixer-upper ever since I saw that one at Garden State Marina Now he's docked at my dock and it taunts me....and now you'll be there too....

After we spoke that day about that boat I started looking for one. When we launched it I took it for a long sea trial out the inlet. It rode so good. I found this one down by Cape May. It's a 1990 hull and the motors are 1993. It might need a gas tank. Other than that and a good cleaning it's good to go. I'm going to keep an eye out for newer power. Or maybe sell my boat without the motor and just look for one more.

I started looking after we talked too but I only find inboards. The Carolinas and Albemares are all inboards or jackshaft i/o too. I like that old style motor well, no need to do a bracket. I'm looking for one cheap enough to be able to swing a re-power with new 4 stroke zukis. Thanks for the sea trial review, good to hear. Congrats, Good Luck with it
