I would not be surprised if buried somewhere in the Boeing vaults are take-off figures for F25.
We routinely use F25 for take off out of Maui (PHOG) in a standard -800 with no short field performance package. We are understandably heavy, 165,000 lbs + as we are head back to the mainland and the runway is short, 6995 ft. It makes for a busy flap retraction schedule and requires accurate speed control until the flaps are well on their way up.

I also routinely use F2, F10 and F25 if required at various stages of the arrival and approach. I prefer F30 for landing in the -600 and -700 if F40 is not required by field length and F40 for landing in the -800 regardless of runway length as it gets the landing speed a bit lower and reduces the tendency to float.
