Just purchased my first boat, an 89 Oceanic 25 with a 2000 Yamaha OX66 250HP. Bought it from a real cool guy down here in S. Fl.

Its an older boat and needs some TLC, but seems super solid! Any info on this hull/setup? Anything I should be on the lookout for? Thanks!

Thanks! Yes sir, same one.

Thanks guys, I’m excited! Was looking for a good fishing boat for a while. I saw it and fell in love with the lines. Floor is solid, im surprised such an old boat doesn’t have soft spots anywhere.

Give them oil lots and lots of oil

I wonder how many people saw my antique boat and were confused haha! Mods changed it (sorry)

Stocking up on Yamalube already!

Will probably try to find a T-Top after I use it for a bit. Would love if the transom was closed as well. Future projects!

My buddies have one with closed transom , HPDI 300 had a Merc 250 EFI . Mako Console and T Top ,
rides like a heavy boat and a little wet . They can take a beating. I was told it’s a Bertram knock off .

Good to hear! Eventually closed transom and repower is the plan but need to make sure if its worth it.

Some boats ride better without a bracket !
I would definitely check both out before committing to such a task . My buddies boat is in St Petersburg if you want to check it out .
