Is it a Nauset? Not familiar with the 25

 

I spent time on an outboard powered Nauset many years ago. Tough boat, it’d go through anything. I’d love to see this rehab’d with a single 350 or maybe a pair of 175’s on a bracket.

Lines are really similar to the FibFab 25.

 

i like it! Wonder if this is the Nauset 24’9 / 9’6 hull? I thought those had a deck that was almost totally removable?

 

I could be wrong but I think this is the fibfab 25

 

Same hull different builders then became the outlaw 25

 

Yes I agree with the above. This is the Nauset 24 which became the Coastal 24 and is now the Tripp 24. Coastal changed the floor design to make it fully removable. To be honest, I'm not sure if the 24 and 25 Nausets have a different hull, but they do have a different house. 24'-9" is close enough to be called a 25' I suppose. Both are wide beams as well. The two Morgans I have seen were outboards. I think the keel was cut back on them but it is the same hull as far as I can tell. The Fib Fab is a different animal that Steve Law used to build if my memory still works.

 

did it sell

 

The boat in question, the one for sale in the opening post, and billed as a Nauset 25 does appear very much like what Nauset called its 24. I could be wrong, but look at the bow of the boat for sale, the subject of this thread, and the bow you see in the thumbnail photo at the bottom-left of the Nauset 24 advertising sheet below. It looks like the same sassy-looking clipper-raked bow.

However, Nauset described its "249" as having a 10-foot beam, and this sheet below says 9'6".

Maybe there was some "rounding up" going on with the beam measurements, or maybe it had something to do with the rub-rail extension that Nauset people have said turned Nauset's 24 into the "249" model (the extension giving it a LOA of 24' 9").

A rub-rail that extends LOA would augment beam, as well, wouldn't it?

The advertising already calls the 24 at 9'6" beam "SUPER WIDE".

Still just trying to sort this out.

As for the background of the Nauset 24, it has been described as said above: originally was the Florida-based Morgan 24 (designer unknown), an outboard, that when the molds went to Nauset were given a keel and turned into an inboard. At one point the keel was narrowed by Nauset to improve stability at speed.

I never knew the Morgan hulls (24’ or 31’) to have keels, thought they were warped bottom mod-Vs

 

According to a man at Nauset with considerable "institutional memory", the Morgan 24 mold they obtained from Florida (designer unknown), was a hard-chine, shallow draught out-board that, after acquisition by Nauset, was given a keel, turned into an inboard, and became the Nauset 24.

Later Nauset narrowed the keel that they had added, as it was deemed too wide for best performance at speed.
