A friend of mine had one on my lake about 10 years ago, was crazy fast with a 500 blower motor. Much better built boat than your Baja the build quality and ride will be the biggest
difference!

I think we worked through the answer to my question. Since the 251 has a pad at low speeds (<45) it has a tendency to fall off the pad since the boat is in between being on the pad & not on the pad. This is what causes the boat to list to either side. This is all solved by running 45+, but I'm one of the only guys who can run over 50mph in my boating group (sad I know....need to get to know more performance boat guys). Anyway, it'd be nice to be able to run under 45 without having the boat flop around due to falling off the pad at lower speeds. Since the AT 25 doesn't have a pad I'm going to assume it doesn't have this issue. (correct me if I'm wrong).

The 25 AT is a great boat all around.

Thanks, but more interested in a boat '98 and newer when, to my knowledge, they stopped using wood.

I have 00' AT 25 Tantrum. No pad here, 24 V all the way through. Great rough water boat and just overall fun driving boat. Does any one know of any other 00' or newer Tantrums out there?

So does the 25 AT have that problem?

It's all in how you run your boat the most and what you want it to do
