There's a CC listed nearby locally and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? Doesn't seem to be much storage, but seems like it's a good shell for a fishing/pleasure craft.

This one is 22'

I don't know anything about the smaller ones but I've been on a couple of bigger ones and was pretty impressed

What year is it?
HS makes 2 models, the Seahorse series and the Vector series.
The Vectors are great hulls, deep deadrise, Kevlar reinforced, they are little battlewagons.
The Seahorse series are a basic price point mid tier boat.

This one is definitely the Sea Horse. After doing some comparisons it seems like this is a pretty no-frills boat and might not be as good a deal as I was hoping. There also seems to be quite a few mentions on THT that the seahorse is not a very stable boat when drift fishing in any chop. Given that I plan to do a fair amount of that from this boat, I'm gonna steer clear.

I dunno... Sometimes I wish I had more deadrise. I've got 16 deg at transom. It's a good compromise, stable at drift vs. smooth running in chop. But Narr. Bay late afternoon chop makes me wish i had a deeper V. Trim tabs help immensely... but when I see Reg's and other Deep V's cruising by me in the slop it makes me jealous. Pick your poison.

back in the 90's I had a 2100 cc kevlar, 24 degree deep v with a 200 yami. fast, stable and well- bulletproof :).

I like a solid deadrise on my boats for narraganset bay to block island. You'll welcome it in a stiff SW wind over tide. Ill sacrifice a stable drift for cutting through a head sea.

BTW saw a hydrasport in the harbor today with quad 7's!!!!!! drool factor was a 10.
