Hey George,
If the I/Os are Mercruiser, depending on model and year, the gear ratio should be stamped on the drive shaft. You have to pull the outdrive from the gimbal housing to see it.

Cool pics, george. What year is your 25 Seafari? The cabin sole is lower than mine and strick's. It is the same as the one in the broshure:
25 Seafari

Looks like you've got some work ahead. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for posting those pictures. The boat is very different then the few other 25's that have been posted on this board. The stern has walk around room instead of the big engine box that you see on the twin stern drive models. The cabin door has the flip up so you don't bang your head going in or out (something I plan on doing) and like Dave mentioned the sole is lower in the cabin. Is there room to stand up in the cabin without having to bend over?

Your going to be hard pressed to find a cabin door for the 25 seafari. Probably going to have to make one or have one made.

And the transom is built out. Does it have the ice box and bait well shown in the brochure?
