When it comes to center console boats, Hydrasports has made its name as one of the more dominant brands. Established 40 years ago, the company has tweaked the boat building, engineering, and technology. The company is the first to have offshore hulls made of Kevlar, the first to have center consoles to fish against traditional sports inboards, and the first center console to have high HP and fuel capacities approved by the coast guard. But that is just some of the things that HydraSport is known for. If you are seeking a center cruiser, here is a HydraSport brand boat review for your consideration.
The Power
HydraSports boats are known for the power of the outboard engines. Like many of the boat companies which work out of Florida, the boats are primarily powered by Yamaha engines (though you may find some which have upgraded to a Seven Marine engine). On the smaller vessels you will tend to find a single and twin mount. However, when you get to the Siesta and the larger outboard engines you find the trip and quad engine configuration. Boats which are older than 2015 will have 300s equipped as the 350HP did not come about till that time.
Models
The are three main models for the HydraSports, though there will be the larger 60’ in later in the year. The three models are:
Keep in mind that there are other boats by the manufacturer in older models. Some of these models include:
- Hydra-Sport 2900-CC
- Hydra-Sport 3000 VX
- Hydra-Sport 3500 VX
- Hydra-Sport 2450
- Hydra Sport 185 FS
- Hydra-Sport 230 CC
As you can see, while the company does specialize in the larger center console boats, some of the older models are in the realm of the smaller fisharound center consoles. Specifically, the HydraSport 185 and the HydraSport 230 could be trailered on a standard pull behind boat trailer.
The price bracket for HydraSports boats for sale varies depending upon the year and the size. A smaller vessel may sell for as low as $20,500 while the new 5300 Suenos can get up to 1.3 million or more depending upon the packaging and motor configuration.
Common Features of the HydraSport Boats for Sale
HydraSports boats typically have a Deep Vee hull and a 8’ beam. The seating configuration is similar in the models, being that the front most seating is a leisure lounge C shape with a front facing seat from the console, the rear seating on the transom folds down. As the HydraSports boats are built for both leisure and for angler purposes, you will find that there are several storage options under the decking.
Center Console functions and features vary depending upon the packaging. The standard captains chair is not a reverse folding but does have a toe rest and such. The company does allow for a customized captains chairs, sound systems, multiple touch screen displays, etc.
Unique to the HydraSport brand is their dive door. The location as well as the two latch system may now be integrated into competitor boats, but it is HydraSports which started using them first.
Where is the best place to use HydraSports Boats?
HydraSpot boats for sale are generally used in the Atlantic and Gulf for offshore trips. The Deep Vee of the hull does tend to make it more prone to the Atlantic as the Gulf has sandbars and a bit more fluctuation in the terrain. However, if equipped with a GPS and adequate radar system, you can easily use the boats in the Gulf as well.
Where can I find HydraSports Boats for sale?
Vessel Vendor offers an array of HydraSports boats for sale ranging in size from the 38’ Speciale to the 53’ Suenos. If you are looking for a boat which is great for off shore fishing (as these boats have ample rod holders, rocket rod holders, fish wells, and tackle boxes) as well as for entertaining (as you can upgrade to a multiple surround sound system, add a sports packaging, or just enjoy the plush materials and cabin features), then HydraSport may be an option.
