Default Sea Hunter Boats - Drop test

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TEBb-MqE

Dropped from 20' in the parking lot, rigged and run after then cut in front of console and run again, then 10 people climb aboard for the photo shoot. If I had the coin.. I want one in yellow and without the drop test. AND I did go by and look at the carcass sitting in front of Plantation Marine while on vacation last week. This boat is a tank. Boat porn connisuer that I am I forgot the camera..

Looks like a simple no nonsense tough as nails boat.

I was just on their site and they dont have a 20ish Offshore boat. They have their 18 bay and then 24. And then lets talk about the 48' Tournament. Thats gonna be one helluva mackeral missle.

I don't know.. I mean, it's nice and all that, and if someone was to give me one I sure wouldn't turn it down. But look at the video again. (Especially the part right at the end when the two of them are standing at the front of the boat right where it was cut off). That boat is narrow as all hell. I have to wonder how it would handle in rough seas. I had a 25' John Almand a few years back that was about the same width and she was great going in a straight line in calm seas, but rolled like a son of a
***** in a heavy swell.

That is one of the main reasons i sold the 250 Sportsman. Just too narrow. But that is also how to get more speed I assume. But i would give up speed anyday for a more stable platform. The 250 rocks violently. I will take a V20 anyday over the 250.

I was told by the guy who use to own my Sea Ox that he watched a drop test on the Sea Ox just before he bought mine. He said he watched that at there factory and they took it for a ride after and that was good enough for him!
Also stated that right after he bought it he complained to the owner of Sea Ox that it did not ride as well as the one he rode in after it was dropped, the owner said what do you have the trim tabs set at?? He said I don't have any, the owner said get them and if you still are not happy he would buy the boat back from him including the trim tab price.
He said ok, added the tabs and had the boat 20 years till I bought it from him. I love my boat, but I don't belive its the best ride out there but its good for me! And at drift there is not much roll, just like the V20, which is good and bad cause like the V I stay out way to long when it gets crapy out cause you don't feel the crap while drifting around. But unlike the V this thing is big and heavy and still rides good in the crap!

Pretty impressive but I'm still suspect of the little disclaimer that the console and leaning post were only placed in there for looks and don't mind the fact that they nearly jumped out of the boat.

Totally agree. That same thing came to my mind ... especially when I saw how far they jumped when they dropped it.
