I am not sure if the 04-05 bottom is different or not from older models. I have ridden in a older 25' Daytona and it didn't have any handling issuses. One person to get a hold of this board is Riverliver, he has a 25 Daytona running in the mid teens. He has a lot of seat time and can drive that Daytona like nobodies business. Talk to him, I am sure he will prove helpful.
