Carolina 25
Designed by Salt Boatworks
The flagship of the Salt Boatworks range, a North Carolina sportfisherman in a trailerable center console form. She carries the regional signatures, a flared bow, broken sheer and tumblehome aft, over a traditional Carolina bottom with 18 degrees of deadrise at the transom and a sharp entry forward. Inside there is a single-level deck all the way forward and one large fuel tank of 140 gallons, with a step-down space inside the console; an express version with a cabin is also possible.
The hull is 25 ft 2 in long, 28 ft with the bracket, on an 8 ft 6 in beam, and draws about 17 in at 6,000 lb. Power is a single 350 hp or twin 200s, for a 30 to 35 mph cruise. She is cold molded in marine plywood, with Coosa board in the transom and bracket where most of the holes go, and is recommended for experienced builders. Plans or a CNC-cut jig kit are available.
What building a Carolina 25 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
