25 question

[Mitch]

I'm going to look at a 25 inboard sedan version today are the transoms built the same as the I/O model because they don't need to be all that thick or were all the hulls built the same. (60's) vintage. Thanks

same hull. the inboards have the pop out for the i/os but were never drilled. very different deck and stringer gas tank system however.

And of course the scuppers sit above the water line! :(

[Mitch]

I had two hulls side by side inboard and I/o both sixties vintage and the transoms are definitely different the inboard does not have the plywood core it's just fiberglass. Just sayin. Anybody lookin for project boat this guy has two (cheap) I'm still considering the inboard, sedan cause I mainly want the trailer it's on but the I/o convertiblemodel is pretty solid as well

[randall]

thats true....i thought you were just concerned with the shape. all made from the same mold. there are many many differences in the build from there. not all inboard boats are the same either.

take the bridge off and its such a cool boat, easy to trailer too

[randall]

i liked the bridge . i ran the boat from above 95% of the time. it took a thunderstorm to drive me below. the cabin is great at anchor however....all that glass and it all opens.

I owned a 25 FB for years and I always ran the boat from the bridge. Great little boats. Only when I was working on the engines did I ever use the lower station.
