20 seacraft vs 25 hydrasport in rough stuff(hint: not a shocker to this crowd)

[2182]

I bought it off a hull truth ad, but the resto was documented on here. I think his screen name on here is 1984 seacraft. His screen name on hull truth is parrott. Guys name is brett, he did a great job on it.

I have made a few changes and additions since I bought it, but he did all the heavy lifting.

I was leery of it as well, but she rides great. I had it loaded heavy in stern Saturday, 30 gallon livewell under lean post and 80# of ice in a fish bag leaned against transom. Full 65 quart yeti in front of console. Once I moved the fish bag to the bow it rode like a dream. Doesn't hurt that boat has giant lencos, 16x13 or something.

Another one. This is a NON FILLED Armstrong single bracket too.

Not telling you anything you don't know I'm sure, but the bracket works best if you are hanging a lot of weight (like a 531 pound yamaha four stroke 150 if memory serves).

If you're keeping that 115 I wouldn't bother. Great motor by the way, I had one on a 17 aqua sport, it screamed.

Not to derail my own thread, but I wonder how much weight I could hang on my boat. Deck has been raised 5", it self bails like a champ. As is its fuel efficient as heck, but its no speed demon.
