Thanks guys. That was my thought too I just see alot of people saying how it's one of the best riding 25 footers out there. I'm into the fast center consoles and like what I've been hearing about these. Just wanted to get info and experiences on them for when I'm ready to step up.

Lots of good models in that size range.
25 Active Thunder
26 Donzi ZX
26 Hustler
26 LaveyCraft
26 Sutphen
26 Velocity
26 Sonic - lots of them on the market right now

Saw a 24 Sonic with single verado outboard the other day on facebook looked like it was in pretty decent shape. Don't see many of those.

Nice ya I'm not ready yet but I'm only interested in fast center consoles. Powerplay action marine island runners. I currently have a 21 action marine center console Wich I run offshore and a 26' fishing boat that we use to go out and to the bahamas but its flat bottom and beats the hell out of you. Eventually I'm looking to get something that I can haul ass offshore and to the bahamas in that doesn't kill me.

How long does it take you to get to the Bahamas? Just looked it up. Average mileage is around 70 miles. How do you delete a post?

The difference between the worst riding 25' boat and best riding 25' boat is not a whole lot, it`s still a 25' boat.
The length more than brand determines the ride.

Haha cool thanks guys. Seeing as I already have a 26 maybe I'll look a little bigger. I just want to be able to run 80s-90s with twins for fuel consumption. It's nice not to have to rely on others all the time when planning a trip. The closest island to me is west end and it usually takes about 1.5-2 hours depending on seas. I don't really go there tho I go to grand cay Wich is 110 miles and usually about 3-3.5 hours. I've made it back in 2.5 once running 50 across the bank and 40 from there. I had a very small weather window and had to turn around the day befday.

For your use you might consider a 33 Ocean Hawk. Pretty fast for it's size and not overly expensive.
