Nice boat, I think its priced pretty well, Ive been looking for a WA in this size range, and have seen (and liked) several of these HS WA's. Most of the ones Ive seen around this year model have Fichts and are priced in the high 20's, so its a toss up?? I like you boat, and is in the price range Im looking for, but Im in the process of selling my BayBoat .....and then get into another ride.....(unless I dont wanna come home for a while!!!)........Good Luck with her.
Whats the speed and fuel #s with that Carbed Johnson?? And is that Livewell a factory option? Ive never seen that before??

I wish I still had my 23 Hydra-Sports! I sold it for a 27 Albemarle. It will do 41 MPH flat out loaded to the gills if you have the correct prop. It rides like a much bigger boat with the bracketed outboard. Mine didn't have the large optional livewell. The 200 carbed Johnson burned 14 GPH @ 3800 RPM @ 25 Knots loaded. You couldn't go wrong with this boat.
Thanks for the kind words. You are correct on Fuel burn and speed. The live well is an add on option that the guy i bought it from had made especially for the boat. I just finished putting all my stuff in it for the drag down to the shore tommorrow. I absolutely love this boat. She fired right up on monday after sitting all winter. and everythign is in workign order just went thru it all to make sure before I get it in the water. Id rather keep her but I just got married bought a house and we are looking to have kids in the next year or so. Therefore I want a smaller budgetary target for the when the kids come. Im looking to sell and get something a little smaller that I can keep in my backyard and trailer a little more easily.
By the way I just put $500 into the trailer for new brakes, brake lines, and bearings.
Walden75 if you want anymore pictures I have a ton of them. A ton of some good striper pictures too!!!! This boat raises fish.
And I do have the seat for the starboard side aft section of the boat. I took it out it makes it easier to get the batteries in and out of the boat in the winter and spring.
I also figured the slip would be a good selling poitn if your from CT obviously. Anyone in CT that has been looking for slips knows that they are almost imposisble to find right now. So this slip is paid for until Oct 31st and is renewable as long as you get yoru deposit in Nov 15th.
I tried to send an email to the address listed on this site and it was kicked back. Could you please send me pics of the exterior and interior and also tell me how far the Marina is off 95? jtduffy@sbcglobal.net
Thanks
The marina is off of exit 69 i think off of 95 just about 2 minutes off of the exit. Its on the CT river in old saybrook. Between the bridge for rte 95 and the railroad bridge. Ill send more pictures.
Alright Ive got over 1000 hits!!! Any suggestions as to why I'm not getting any bites. Is the price to high? Is everyone having trouble getting interest?
Any suggestions please!
The boat is a beauty. Hang in there. I was gonna go look myself but am trying to remind myself I am downsizing!! Like I said in the post on "bottom line", invite all offers and don't consider any offer an insult. At least it starts the negotiation. Both my last two rigs started with ridiculously low offers but I got a fair price.
Take care - I may drive by today in my son's bass boat - and pretend to fish :-)
