Thanks to both of you for the info. The price is what makes it so attractive. This is not the best boat on the market, but at half the cost of other boats of this size, it may be worth it as a starter boat. Thanks again for the info. Mark

I have asked questions like this before on a similar site and was mildly(?)scourned for asking redundant and apparently silly questions. I was also told I should have not bothered them and just searched archives instead. Hopefully, a few of you will not mind my ignorance and offer some advice. I have seen a Hydra-Sports 23 foot Sea Horse, year 2000, with a 200hp Johnson outboard on it. I know the vector series is apparently their hardcore fishing machine, but I do not think I will need something that serious. I just plan to go in the James River and the Chesapeake Bay and maybe, only maybe,the early part of the ocean.I am not a hardcore fisherman, but I do love to go on decent days. I have been on friends boats in the bay quite a few times and realized that most of the time you can go out in flat conditions and come back in some rough stuff. So I guess what I need to know is, how does the Sea Horse compare to other boats. I mean, is it more like a Proline, a Sea Hunt, a Cobia,or is it more of a lower tier boat. I know it is not built as strong as the vector, but is the quality of the boat good other than that? I also think that the deadrise is not as deep as the vector series, but not sure. And are there any other differences that I should be aware of? If anybody has any experience with this boat and wouldn't mind sharing some info with me I would appreciate it. Mark
