I just purchased this boat and am in search of some/ any info about it. I'm told its a 25'6. It has a 454 mag with a bravo1. The intake cover states 454/ alpha. I heard a few of these were equipped with an outboard? The hull is in perfect shape, almost like it was redone.. Just looking for estimated top speed, weight, handling, number made, etc.

i dont think the alpha will live very long behind a bbc

The bravo came out in 1988. If you boat has a bravo now it was installed well after the boat was built. Originally a 454 would have come with an alpha. You've got 310 hp at the prop. Im guessing speed somewhere in the low to mid 50's...

A friend of mine owned one here in Seattle 2 years ago..

I am a fellow seebold owner, I have a 88 236. Sounds like yours is a 265, Post some pics. There are a few guys here that sold/worked on these back when they were new. Its a 454 mag? Sounds like its been updated at some point. Good luck with it

I have a 265 with a 454/Bravo. I only get around 50 but my motor is tired and who knows whats going on with my prop. I do love the boat though. Its a rare boat and they run good with some power.

Sorry, I cant seem to figure out how to get a photo uploaded correctly. Maybe these links will work.. http://s1345.photobucket.com/user/zs...tml?sort=3&o=2 http://s1345.photobucket.com/user/zs...tml?sort=3&o=0 The person I bought it from said he did 70 on gps with 3/4 tank of gas. The insurance company is trying to write it as a "racing boat" claiming it could exceed 75! I wish... I did look up the MercruiserTransom Assembly s/n sticker on the engine and it shows as a bravo while the drive unit s/n sticker shows as an alpha. Guessing it was updated shortly after it was bought. Engine sticker (0B726696) shows to be an 1987 at 330 hp.
