In the instructions of my kit it says that the kit is a 1/25th scale. The kit is 42 inches long, so I am assuming the real boat would be 42 inches X 25 or 1050 inches or 87.5 feet long. My question is, what scale would this convert to.... 1:**?        (1:24 1:36 1:48, etc).

You are right about the conversion to full size - 1/25 is one twenty fifth of full size, so 25 models laid end to end would be as long as the real thing.  But 1:25 and 1/25 mean exactly the same thing - they are just two different ways of writing it.

So the answer to your question is - 1:25!
