This is the kind of boat I trained on Thur. to learn the area for my Coast Guard radio watchstanding course.
It was myself and the 2 man crew, cruising at 40 knots in the ocean off of Coos Bay OR
The 25-foot Secure Around Flotation Equipped (SAFE) boat
Top speed 45+ knots. 2 Twin 150HP outboard gasoline engines.
