I have a friend who has a 25 w/2 90 hp hondas on it & my overall take on the boat is its best suited to slow protected waters, in a 4ft sea the best we could stand to take in the boat is about 13 knots it is definatly not a rough water boat,the workmanship overall on the model i used was what i would consider average to poor. Our use so far in this boat has been lake Erie & use off the florida keys. It does offer a protected cabin but we found the space in the back to be very small even in the 25 for fishing. I am not sure if i wouldnt look in a differant direction. After about 30hrs actual use we have found a lot of cracking in most corner areas as well as the deck itself. The intended use for this boat was to be a cruiser around lake erie in the summer & off on the trailer in the winter to someplace warm  but overall the handling & quality our things that have made him wish he had looked more poss at the ospreys their reviews are a lot higher but then so is the price. I have more info & pics of the problems if you have further interest .....regards
