Does anyone here know anything about this boat? I'm looking at a 1998 Hydra Sports 22 foot Ocean Skiff center console with a 1998 175 Johnson. I usually do my boating in tight to the south side of Fishers Island, throwing eels and plugs into the rocks, and I only go out on nice days. I've been thinking about upgrading my 19-footer for something I can take to Montauk, or even Block, on days when the wind is less than 5 mph.

It looked like a pretty nice hull design. A nice deep vee in the bow, with sides that flared out nicely, giving the impression of a very dry ride. Also, the sides were a good 10 inches higher than my knees, which was appealing.

The price is very reasonable, and I'm taking the rig for a test drive soon. Looking for any available input.
