I didnt know Kencraft made a 25? I thought they only went up to 23...

Nice ride. Hope it sells quickly!

Engines off the Hydra-Sports?

BigGreenZ_71 · 07-12-2007, 09:26 PM

no they aren't, this is a friends boat.

How many hours on the new powerheads? Were they replaced due to the Y2K OptiBomb ordeal?
If they have all the issues resolved, this is one sweet ride, I heard about it at a THT gathering we had tonight in Sanford.

Head in the console?

What is the dry/wet weight?

What is the LOA?

That is one heck of a boat!

Any idea of fuel burn. Would also love to see a picture of the cockpit. I like to have plenty of room between the transom and the seat.

The fuel burn is some where around 2.5-2.8 mpg @4200 rpm, depending on conditions. 4200rpm is around 40 mph. the console does not have a head in it.
powerheads starboard engine <30 hrs, port enginehas around 250/275 hrs. also just had all shift/throttle cables replaced, new water pumps and lower units just pressure checked and serviced. The dry weight on the boat is app. 3200lbs less fuel,engines,gear boat also has all safety gear, anchor and 150' rode. My wife and I fished the boat nearly every weekend.
