Bluejacket Boats 25.5
I mentioned this before, but wanted to point it out for those that didn't read that far down... Tom Lathrop has a new version of his Bluejacket design out... its a 25.5' with a convertible dinette. I think the cabin lines on this one are nicer...

Mr. Lathrop had a list of design goals:
- Light enough and small enough to be easily trailerable with a family vehicle.
- Capable of economic cruising at 12 to 14 mph with a top speed of at least 50% higher.
- Seaworthy in coastal and inshore waters.
- Economical in and out of the water.
- Sitting headroom over the berths in the sleeping cabin and standing headroom in the pilothouse.
- Classic lines.
- Comfortable for cruising with a crew of two for a week or more.
- A private head with standing headroom.
