New boat - Sea Hunt Ultra 225

Loved my prior Sea Hunt so custom ordered this one with all the fixins.

Just installing all the new electronics right now - Garmin 4212, GSD24, TM260 transducer.

Didn't realize how bad it was going to be when I sold my boat back in April.

The wife looks happy.....you can't do better than that!

Raider Ronnie 06-16-2012 04:58 PM

Congrats.
Very nice boat.
According to some experts I've talked to that GSD24 is said to be the best on the market right now. (aside from chirp technology)
Paired with the 1000watt 260 transducer it should be the cats ass !
You should take me fishing so I can see it in action for myself :hidin:

Yeah, worked with Semperfi on hull truth deciding on best combo. He summed it up about the same way. I'll take some pics when I tuna fish next week and I'm sure we can arrange a trip Ron.

Buying new was a joint decision. She selected color and boat layout (rear bench seat, front seat backrests). I selected top, engine & electronics.

My family loves the saltwater and until we can afford a 35' boat, trailering a cc it is.

1st trip yesterday early evening in upper buzzards bay, boy she is fast! Hopefully take her offshore Thursday.

First time you take her out make sure she gets hit with all the bow spray. Then she won't want to come out much anymore.
Worked for me !!!!:smash:

Good luck still.
Nice ride.

LOL. i thought if I bought a bare bones 40yr old center console she would never want to go out on it. Unfortunatley every weekend its now used as a pleasure craft, and she frequents classicseacraft.com. Last night I was headed out to draw blood and she says "can you not get the eel juice all over the boat this time, last week it smelled bad". I just gave her a dirty look.

knees 07-08-2012 02:14 PM

To me thats a perfect boat.. congrats. :drool:

Moses 07-09-2012 09:55 AM

I'll post a few more pictures with electronics installed and operational. Also the GSD 24 unit with the TM260 transducer is awesome, will share a few pics of this in action also.
