Hydra-Sports 4100 CC- thoughts?

[Flatdog]

How about this boat seems to tick all the boxes you want and in 3 different sizes 37 44 50 something.

What is the overall view of the quality and ride of the Hydra-Sports line. I would love to hear the feedback.

When I do a demo ride, are there any "gotchas" to look out for?

Thanks.

probably one of the best production boats on the market. I looked at one real hard before i bought my boat. the only 2things that i disliked was the foward seating. (just dont need it, bean bags) and the way they use starboard and hardware on the boat, i would be replaceing and breaking those latches and hatches all of the time.

what about a Bahama 41?

i really like that boat, nice and open, light and fast. Also, being the fact that the same guys who worked for Venture started Bahama, you know youre getting pure quality

I am actually also looking at Bahama, Venture, and a few other of the larger CC's. Hopefully I'll get out on them as well when in Miami. Going to ride as many as possible in order to help make a decision.

That seems to be an awfully heavy boat with out boards and the test specs were run with hardly anything on the boat add gear ice and full fuel, a few beefy anglers and you could be lookin at alittle more fuel consumption and some hard hours on them out boards than youd like. Hydra sport makes a pretty nice boat, but I believe this is there biggest available and they may need to work some kinks out. peace

I really like your taste in boats haha.

Have you considered Midnight Express, that looks like a beauty. I have also been hearing mixed opinions on Sea Vee. You seem like more of a marlin chaser, is that why you havent mentioned yellowfin or Donzi and fountain?

ever consider quads? haha

I was on the 42 YF in Miami last year at the dock and want to get out on it this year. Very impressive rig that is on my shortlist, but my only concern with it is the small-ish cockpit. I fish a lot offshore in the NE canyons and also do a lot of wreck/reef fishing either on the hook or drifting. Moving from a sporty to a CC, I guess the 360 fishing will help me get over the small-ish cockpit. Lastly, still want some nice comfort features. All boats are trade offs.

Donzi was pretty nice looking, but seemed more intended for gofast and impress the babes. Nothing wrong with that, but did not seem to be a boat that I'd want bloody fish floppying around in.

Sea Vee is pretty impressive and on the short list.

Never really considered Midnight Express. Not until they throw 6 350s on the back

Bahama is nice, as you mentioned earlier. Sea Hunter's Tournament 40 looks promising too.

Take a look at the new regulator 34SS. great looking boat and of course the great regulator ride.
