Sea Hunt 202 vs. 207?

[jaydon]

Hi all,

Just got back from the local Sea Hunt dealer. The didn't have either boat in stock; but looked at a 188. Nice fit, etc.

Looking at the catalog, they have two in the size i'm looking for. The 202 and 207.

Hull wise they appear to be the same except for the length.

There is a 7" difference. Deadrise & weight the same.

Anyone have any experience with either of these boats?

Really looking to see how they handle a good chop.

I've got a 17'6" now and it's a little short when the water's a little choppy. Like over 2' and short interval.

Thanks for any help.

Jay

I have the 202. It rides well and stays dry in a chop. Mine has a windscreen, rarely gets spray on it but I don't go out in a BAD chop.

I have the 202 also and a friend has the 207. Both great boats with a nice ride in a chop. However, I strongly recommend adding trim tabs. Virtually all boats should come that way from the factory, in my opinion.
