SeaHunter vs Sea Vee Boats

Which is the best angler boat SeaHunter or Sea Vee?

See Vee and SeaHunter boats offer a range of amenity packages and features on their center console boats. Both are intended for the serious angler, but also allow the purchaser to have the comfort of a leisurely cruise in the Gulf or the Atlantic if he or she so choses. Additionally, the price bracket on the boats are fairly close to each other, making deciding between the two brands rather difficult. But there are a few differences which may sway a person one way or the other. Here are just a few considerations about the SeaHunter vs Sea Vee boats for sale.

Sea Vee Boats

Sea Vee boats are a bit more established than the SeaHunter brand. Those seeking a brand that has been around longer and has a bit more fiscal backing may want to go with the Sea Vee brand. But it is not just the backing which makes the boat impressive. Many boat enthusiests are impressed with the sand finish and the fit-n-finish of the boat, comparing it in some cases to being only a step below Bahama boats.

Most of the Sea Vee boats come with a trip 300HP configuration. However, on the larger SeaVee boats for sale you could opt for a quad four-stroke outboard. It really depends on the amount of power that you want to have. Buyers should note that the See Vee boats for sale are a bit heavier than the SeaHunter boats for sale, slower, and less fuel efficient. On the plus side, they do tend to have more of a luxurious feel to them as well as more stability in the deeper water than the vessels offered by SeaHunter boats.

SeaHunter Boats

SeaHunter boats are known for being indestructible, but if you are honest, no one is going to drop your boat on concrete (and if they do you will more than likely need to find a new marina or storage guy). That being stated, the point was made that the boat can rub against shallow obstacles with little impact upon the hull. The design of the hull is a bit interesting as one would think that it would be thicker and heavier than the See Vee boats for sale. This is not true, it is actually lighter and faster. The Deep V design allows for the boat to cut through waves and take turns rather well. However, it should be noted that there is a bit of tipping and roughness to the ride. Additionally, due to the hull design, there is no bending and absorbing on landing, making for a bit of a rough spill in some areas.

Controls

The control stations are about the same on both boats when comparing SeaHunter vs Sea Vee boats. Where you start to get some of your differences is when you go to the larger boats and to the additional packaging. Both boats generally have a dual touch screen monitor system, left oriented, and a center mounted helm. In most cases, the vessels will have a single hardtop over the center console. Anglers will have rocket rod holders, while the larger boats will have more of the slick cabin cruiser designs around the console area. Sea Vee boats for sale tends to fairer in the interior design and luxury elements, especially in the Sea Vee 45’ with the cabin area, over the SeaHunter boats which tend to have lower level materials to minimize the weight of the Vessel.

Take note that the engine configurations on the boats tend to be Yamaha 300HP or Mercury 300HP engines. However, 350s as well as post production outboard options may be available. When purchasing your vessel, check the time of purchase for the outboard as it may still be under a transferable warranty. Check directly with the manufacturer to get the specifications and stipulation about warranty transference.
