I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the 25 Shockwave has a 24 degree bottom and that the website has an error. I used to have one of their 29's (24 degree bottom) and it worked great in the ocean. I know a lot of people out here with 25' shockwaves who take them out in the Pacific and they seem to handle the water well for a 25' boat.

Re: What 24/25' boat would you pick?
A 26' Nova ST is very similiar to a Scarab with a slightly wider beam and it works great in the rough stuff but if you want a true 24'er don't jump till you ride a Pantera. I did and it handles like a 26'er and the 28'er handles like a 30'er. The price is reasonable too especially with single power getting a 24- with 425 HP for 65k new and a 28' with T-425's for about a hundred. JO gave me a nice package deal in an e-mail and am considering doing a 28.

Re: What 24/25' boat would you pick?
Personally I would go for a hydrolift s24r.
Nice and clean with a lot of design details. and its fast with a single engine.
saw one on a local race, it was radar messured to 86miles.
