250 Tunnel

One change: the tunnel

Same boat, same power, same standard features as the 250 Bay. The 250 Tunnel adds a tunnel molded into the hull, so the motor rides higher and the boat runs shallower.

How the 250 Tunnel works Photo of the boat running, with an x-ray sketch of the stern below the waterline. On a standard hull, water leaves the transom at the bottom of the hull and the outboard hangs low to reach it. On the 250 Tunnel, a tunnel molded into the hull fills with water, so the water behind the transom stays high; the hydraulic jack plate raises the outboard, the propeller stays in solid water, and there is more clearance over the bottom.

Runs shallower, floats the same. The tunnel works underway. At rest, the 250 Tunnel draws the same 15" as the 250 Bay.

12" hydraulic jack plate, standard. Raise the motor for the flats; lower it for rough water, hard turns and backing down.

The R is one
thing: the ride

Same hull, same power, same standard features. Add Seakeeper Ride to the 250 Tunnel and it becomes the 250R Tunnel. That’s the whole difference.

What Seakeeper Ride does

Seakeeper Ride is a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) that eliminates up to 70% of pitch and roll underway. It replaces traditional trim tabs with an automatic, intuitive system — for a flatter, drier, more comfortable ride from the helm.

Questions & Answers

250 Tunnel questions, answered

Price, power, towing, draft and more, straight from the 250’s spec sheet.

How much does the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel cost?

The Sea Pro 250 Tunnel starts at $99,896. The boat as shown, with options, has an MSRP of $122,949.

The final price depends on the outboard you choose and the options you add, and may not include taxes, freight, a trailer or dealer charges. Build-A-Boat prices your exact boat, and your dealer gives the final quote.

What is the difference between the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel and the 250 Bay?

One change: a tunnel molded into the hull. It lets the outboard ride higher, so the 250 Tunnel runs shallower than the 250 Bay, with the same power and the same standard features, and a 12" hydraulic jack plate comes standard.

The tunnel works underway. At rest, the 250 Tunnel draws the same 15" as the 250 Bay. See how the tunnel works.

What is the max horsepower of the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

The 250 Tunnel is rated for up to 350 HP. Sea Pro is choose-your-power, with factory packages including the Suzuki DF 300 APX, Suzuki DF 350 ATX, Yamaha 300 XCB and Mercury 350 Verado.

The engine makers’ performance bulletins for the 250 Tunnel, with speed and fuel burn, are linked under Choose Your Power.

How big is the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel, and can I tow it?

The 250 Tunnel is 24'8" long with a beam of 8'9", and weighs 3,432 lbs dry, without the engine.

For towing weight, add the outboard (562–747 lbs for the factory options), about six pounds per gallon of fuel (roughly 420 lbs with 70 gallons aboard), your gear and the trailer, and stay comfortably under your vehicle’s towing rating.

At 8'9" wide, it is over the standard 8'6" legal trailer width, so some states require an oversize permit to tow it. On the trailer, the hard top stands 124" (10'4") high, so measure your garage door before planning on indoor storage.

What is the draft of the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

The 250 Tunnel has a published draft of 15". That is static draft: how deep the hull sits at rest. The water you can run and get on plane in depends on load, trim, motor height and setup.

Underway, the tunnel lets the motor ride higher, so it runs shallower than the 250 Bay, with a 12" hydraulic jack plate standard to raise the outboard further.

What is the deadrise of the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

15° at the transom. Deadrise is the angle of the hull bottom: the more of it, the softer the ride in a head sea; the less, the shallower the boat floats and the steadier it sits at rest.

Across the Sea Pro lineup, deadrise runs from 15° on the 172 Bay to 24.5° on the 322R Offshore.

How many people does the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel hold?

The 250 Tunnel has a passenger capacity of 10. Count everyone aboard, children included, and remember that the outboard, fuel and gear all add to the load.

How much fuel does the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel hold?

70 gallons of fuel.

Range depends on the engine, speed, load and sea state; the engine makers’ performance bulletins under Choose Your Power list speed and fuel burn through the rpm range. Plan by the rule of thirds: a third of your fuel out, a third back, and a third in reserve.

What fishing features come standard on the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

Standard fishing equipment on the 250 Tunnel:

  • Two 30-gallon pressurized livewells
  • Bow Insulated Fish Box 150 qt.
  • Stainless Steel Rod Holders
  • Raw Water Washdown
  • Trolling Motor Plug w/Harness
  • Thru-Hull Transducer

More is in the factory options, listed under Optional features.

What comes standard on the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

Highlights of the standard equipment:

  • Simrad MFD 9"
  • Hydraulic Jackplate 12"
  • Audison Marine Audio
  • Sea Pro Connect App

30 features come standard, backed by the 10-year hull warranty. See the full list.

Is Seakeeper Ride available on the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

Yes, as an option. Seakeeper Ride is a factory option on the 250 Tunnel (ordered with it, it is the 250R Tunnel).

Seakeeper Ride is a vessel attitude control system that replaces traditional trim tabs and, according to Seakeeper, eliminates up to 70% of pitch and roll underway, for a flatter, drier ride. The R in a Sea Pro model name means Ride-equipped. More on the R.

What warranty comes with the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

A 10-year limited hull warranty covering structural defects in the fiberglass hull, which can transfer to a later owner after a re-certification inspection, plus a 5-year limited warranty on the boat: parts and labor in year one, parts in years two through five. Outboards are covered by the engine maker’s own warranty. Read the full warranty.

Where is the Sea Pro 250 Tunnel built?

In Whitmire, South Carolina, where every Sea Pro is hand-laid. Hulls and decks are gel-coated, with a vinyl-ester barrier coat from the waterline down against osmotic blistering; hull sides and deck boxes are foam-filled; and the one-piece, fully gel-coated stringer system is bonded with methacrylate.

Where can I buy a Sea Pro 250 Tunnel?

Through Sea Pro’s 65 authorized dealers across the United States. Find your dealer to see the 250 Tunnel in person and get a quote, price it first in Build-A-Boat, or request the catalog.
