Like the other offerings in Metal Shark’s Courageous line of center consoles, the rugged 25 Courageous is a versatile deep vee craft designed for utility, law enforcement, and fire rescue applications. It is essentially the same platform as Metal Shark’s venerable 27 Courageous with the primary difference being that the twin outboards of the 25 Courageous are mounted directly on the transom, as opposed to being mounted on an extended transom bracket as they are on the 27 Courageous. A truly rugged workhorse, the 25 Courageous boasts a proven hull and stout construction that assure outstanding sea keeping while providing a stable and dry platform at rest.
The 25 Courageous boasts a proven Metal Shark hull design that has been engineered and built to deliver maximum economy, performance, and longevity. To achieve its superior hull life rating, the vessel’s hull, deck, and console are composed entirely of heavy, precision-welded plates of corrosion-resistant 5086 aluminum-magnesium alloy. With an 8’ 6” beam, the 25 Courageous may be easily trailered, while on the water its impressive 20,000 lb. towing capacity gets the job done. Metal Shark is an OEM supplier for all major outboard brands and can rig according to customer preference or fleet commonality requirements.
The 25 Courageous features a tested and proven no-nonsense workboat layout that allows for safe and easy access around the boat. With its generous bow flare and deep freeboard, the 25 Courageous boasts an extraordinarily roomy self-bailing cockpit that is serviced by oversized 6” scuppers.
