i think either the 23 cc or sceptre would suit you very well if you plan to make long trips on a regular i would prefer o/b power....( my opinion) i own a 25 seafari with i/o that i make 100-120 mile run with a couple times per year. not very fuel efficient but great boat it is also fairly easily trailered with my 3/4 ton suburban.... the 23's are more common and available in a cc model... if you can do without the cc and can find the elusive 25 jump on it..... great boat, plenty of room and you wont regret it... all that ive seen are single or twin i/o but can be converted with transom work and bracket... my .02

Thanks for the pic of your 25...neat looking rigs. How's she handle on the drift with that much deadrise? Can you compare it to any other deep vee you've been on...maybe a 25 Carolina Classic or 24 Albemarle? Thanks and good luck with the re-power. Steve

THANK YOU.... THE "ATTITUDE" WHILE DRIFTING IS NOT TOO ROCKY BUT YOU CAN DEFINTLY TELL THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN A FULL TANK AND 1/4 TANK OF FUEL... NEVER BEEN ON A CAR. CLASSIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT SHE SIT BETTER THAN AN ALBE... MUCH LIKE A REGULATOR... IN MY OPINION IT IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, GREAT RIDE AND PRETTY STABLE AT REST... SHE LOVES A HEAD-ON SEA(2-3FT) AND HATES ANY FOLLOWING SEA

Thanks nuthinfancy...and no need to respond to my similar post in the repairs column. I didn't think it had made it in. Sounds like a very nice ride and good to hear about the stability at rest. Continued succes, Steve
