I don't think a Contender 23T with 200 Yamaha 4 strokes will hit 60 either. With 200 HDPI's it will hit 60. the 200 & 225HP yamaha 4 strokes are great reliable engines, but low on HP and heavy on weight.

Both boats will cruise comfortabley at 40-45MPH in the right conditions. I would go with a 23 SeaCraft with bracket as well over the 25 Seacraft. Oh, and the 23T Contender is a 25 foot boat too.
