Saturday Sea Trial

[ematheus]

Hi all!!

Finally it is time to get a boat. I figured out what I want, and on Saturday we are going for a Sea Trial. I'm looking at a 23' Hydra Sport vx, which is a leftover from 2006. It has not been in the water - still brand new.

Is there anything specific I should look for when going out on Saturday?

I would appreciate y'alls input!!

Been on a 25ft VX with twin 150's a few times and love the boat. Did not think they made a 23ft VX? Love the ride and amenities on the VX.

Make sure you like how it handles at cruise and also how it sits while your stopped (pitching ect...) make sure you take it in the rough stuff.

Thanx for the input!! The 23' is a 06 that' a leftover. I love it because it has tremendous space. It also is the only boat in it's class with a 8'11" beam... Lots of room for SCUBA equipment!!

I hope you have been told that you need a permit to tow it---anything over 8' 6" must be permitted and the state DOT's have been getting more particular about this yearly

Check the factory wiring panel..to see if its clean and the install looks proper, check the gel coat for cracks,,check the transom for holes and cracks,, check the deck for cracks,, check the stainless screws for rust seeping (low quality Stainless weeps), pull the engine cover and inspect the engines,,remember this is a 2006 likely built in late 2005 so its been sitting somewhere for almost 3/4 years,, open every hatch and cover, make sure while underway the steering cables are adjusted properly. And by the way open that baby up and see what it will do while it belongs to them..!!!!
