Vehicle Description
Propulsion
This 225 Weekender is equipped with a Mercruiser 5.0 L MPI (Fuel Injected) 260HP Bravo III MCM engine. Another great feature of these motors is the upgraded Bravo III sterndrives. Bravo III sterndrives have a twin prop design, a significant upgrade from the standard Alpha drive. The Bravo III's have counter-rotating propellers, which allow for agile handing in reverse and precision maneuverability.
The elegant curves and graceful style of this classic 225 Weekender are guaranteed to capture attention. Come onboard and you'll see how the tastefully appointed deck and cabin of this handcrafted boat will make cruising more comfortable than you ever imagined. Check out some of this boat's countless features...
Hull/Deck
Starting from the outside, the hull and deck of this boat are filled with strong-points. Nothing is better for the exterior of a boat exposed to the marine environment than stainless steel (S.S.). This 225 Weekender comes with S.S. Bow and Stern Eyes, S.S. Bow Rail, S.S. Custom Cleats, S.S. Transom/Sport Spoiler Hand Rails, S.S. Navigation Lights, and S.S. Port Lights. She also features a white gel coat which adds to the elegance and styling of the boat protected with a high performance vinylester resin. Towards the back of the boat one of the most notable features would be the roomy integral swim platform with a concealed, three-step, stainless steel ladder.
Cockpit
Move into the cockpit of this beauty and you'll find beverage holders everywhere you turn, a Snap-In Carpet Liner, a Sliding and Lockable Cabin Door. You'll also find a plethora of seating available from a spacious Aft Bench Seat, to back-to-back passenger seating with a molded fiberglass storage base, to the Helm Bench Seating with Flip-Up Thigh-Rise Bolsters. For your convenience, a dinnette table is also included to make snacking in the cockpit with your friends and family simple and easy.
The Weekender is equipped with a lockable, sliding cabin door with integral steps for easy access to walk-through windshield. This makes getting up on the bow a breeze.
Cabin
Step down into the cabin and you'll find a nice, comfortable V-berth sleeper, convertible dinnete, and a wet bar galley. The galley has a sink with upper and lower storage for personal items. While you're taking in the beauty of this cabin you could take a second and put on some music using the 12V Clarion stereo with AM/FM/CD, Amplifier, 6 Speakers, & Digital Cockpit Remote Control. This stereo also features an available Sirius Satellite Radio Receiver w/ Antenna.
A must have for many familes, this boat also includes a portable head with privacy curtains just as you enter the cabin.
Canvas
The canvas featured on this boat is manufactured by Sunbrella. This boat has a bimini top, a camper canvas package including a camper top with boot & vertical storage, and camp curtains with a canvas storage bag. The hardware for the canvas features the easy to use Ball & Socket fittings. (The full canvas package is not pictured in the photos, but is included)
The owner of the boat also had a full mooring cover custom made for the Weekender, valued at over $400. This is part of the reason why the boat still appears brand new. The cover can be used while trailering as it ties down to the actual trailer safely.
