Sea Hunt Triton 220 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Jamie M · 09-23-2003, 10:30 AM

I was at the Norwalk Boat Show this weekend, and the Sea Hunt dealer had a new model for 2004 - the Triton 220. It was the exact same design as the 23-footer, just smaller. The hull looked like it would fit my needs nicely. Deep sides and an enclosed transom, to really let you feel like you're "in" the boat. Swim/dive platform in back, which would give me a handy place to put on my dive gear, as well as give the dog an easier place to get in/out of the water. A huge raised casting deck that when cushioned, would give the boss a place to sunbathe when she's out with me.

I priced out a package with all the options I wanted - leaning ppost with rocket launchers, hydraulic steering, bow cushions. With a dual-axle trailer and a carb Johnson 150, the total was only $26,200. I could upgrade the engine to a 200 Ficht, or a Honda (the dealer carries OMC and Honda), and still be in the low $30's. And that was just the first offer, there could be some more wiggle room. That sounds pretty good for what appears to be a mid-tier 22-footer. It ain't a Regulator, but it ain't a Sea Fox either.

What do you guys think of Sea Hunt?

For the money it seems like a real nice boat, there have been a few posts about how they will fair 5 years down the line as far as fit and finish go. In that price range for a 22' boat I think you would be hard pressed to find something better.....

Clamdigger has the 21 footer one and hopefully he will post. Nice ride in rough water, nice to fish from.

Saw them last year at the boston boat show.

I liked it, it seemed good and solid.

Might need more power than 150 though.

The 21 goes good with a 150 and a couple fat guys

... Larry @ Tropicland has a Honda 130 on his 235 Sea Hunt, I can see that as being under power. 150 would be OK on the 22, 200 wouldn't hurt.

Hey Clamdigger -

Which model do you have, the 210 or the 212? Is there anything you would change if you could?

Clammer · 09-24-2003, 01:04 PM

#210
I changed things before I got it==I order it without some of the stuff I didn,t need ==why pay for irt
no seat ,no windshield, bo hand rails

then I had it setup the way I wanted it
low rail in front, set up of the side for digging, but the best is the custom t=top, its not like anyones elses & it works great
if you get a 150 pay more money & get F/I
