Thanks for the input Pelagic. You confirmed my gut feeling. Abusing a overladen engine leads to poor economy and performance. Unless you are willing to be satisfied with just maitaining a plane. The price seems right to consider this sacrifice. I would hesitate if it were a 250hp.

Good info, but no one mentioned the 2520 with the 225. I have an opportunity for a 2004 DV 2520 w/ a Yam 4stroke 225 with low hours. The vessel is supposedly a DV, I have not been able to see the hull. Price seems right at under $40k. But does it have enough power? I am a diver so I will put...

I am looking at a 25' extended cabin 1995. The boat has been severly neglected and needs a ton of elbo grease grease to get her looking right. The port side has a bunch of spider web cracking, likely due to smacking into a dock for extended periods, the starboard is less severe. The aft deck is...
