Sea Pro (last boat question of the week -- really)

Post by **pcbayou** » June 23rd, 2005, 1:13 pm

Any advice y'all can share on Sea Pro boats? I've seen a few center consoles, 18 and 19 feet, that look and sound good. But most of what I've seen on the forum is about the bay boats.

Love my Sea Pro SV2100. I was out at the V tower this past Sat and Sunday from St. Marks. If the CC are as solid as my bay they should be good boats.

I've had a 17 CC Sea Pro for several years now and have been very happy with it other than it doesn't catch enough fish.

I'm sure that's a boat issue and not a captain issue.

I've been caught a few times in some fairly ugly water and never had a problem except that the speedometer has a habit of going out when you hit hard. It always comes back on later though so it's not a big deal. Only other minor complaint I have is that it's tough to get the battery out the way they have the compartment rigged.

Thanks, y'all. I'm looking pretty seriously at a 180CC if I can get to it before it's spoken for. That battery thing is annoying, but seems to be pretty common. I've had to unscrew the top on the compartment just to get the battery out. And then it would only come out sideways.

Redmann doesn't understand. The speedometer only reads when the boat is in the water.

Guess I desereved that one.

Unfortunately, that boat hasn't been getting nearly as much time in the water as it should.

I have the 190 CC. Three years now and love it. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Thanks, Sea Note. Unfortunately I was a day late on a Sea Pro 19 last week. You gotta watch those want ads.
