What year is the boat? I have a 1994 Cannon 25' . I had a 454 Mag 365 HP. this boat scoots. I went to poker runs and people did not believe I only had a 365 Mag. They probably did not realize I ran this boat WOT. the entire time. I have since upgraded power. I now have a 500 hp performance series merc. the motor is fresh and it rocks! but I would say it is still under powered. I have 100% faith in this boat and motor. My personal feeling, if I'm not scared to drive it, it is not fast enough and therefore underpowered. My boat is mint and I am thinking of selling (37kish). if you are interested call 847 816 8468. The only reason for selling is a friend and I are thinking of building a race boat. I'm looking for a thunder hull in any condition to race P5.

A Thunder in P5....Sweet!! Hopefully see you in Key West!!! :D

Re: Opinion On 25 Tantrum

surfacetension,did you used to have a chris craft 245 limited?

Re: Opinion On 25 Tantrum

The 25' Tantrum is without a doubt one of the best riding rough water boat built. Solid as a rock, feels much bigger than it is, will easily handle open ocean, deep cockpit...the gunnels come up to your arm pits, nice size cabin with good headroom. The 454/bravo is an ok package for the boat...an HP 500 makes the boat come alive. I should know, driven plenty of them, used to work for Pat at the factory. Steve E.

Re: Opinion On 25 Tantrum

Jupiter Palsare,
I have a 1998 Tantrum with a 500 HP in it. My boat was originally built for the Smith Brothers Racing.
Seeing that you have run a lot of Tantrums what was a good speed for a 25" tantrum with a 500 HP in it for you?
I run my boat in mostly Pennsylvania and at WOT 1/2 tank of fuel, two people my best was 75.5 on GPS.
I have a Bravo 1 28 pitch prop that Mercury racing has done some work on it.
Your thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Active Mike
