2005 Sea Hunt Triton - love the boat and much safer for my family then the Whaler. I've fished Montauk, BI, Narr Bay, MV, Nantucket, shipping lanes east of Chatham and Stellwagon to Boston Harbor. Thinking about selling next year and upgrading to the 24' model.[/QUOTE]
Mike I forget. I think you told me she's 22'. I have the Triton 202
My baby. 2002 SeaHunt Triton 172. Love the boat and can do almost everything in her. But with the kiddos getting bigger, I'm considering an upgrade this winter.
My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.

Had the Triton 172 for 3 years. Great boat but dicey to get outside with. Go up to the Triton 202 and you will find a whole different boat. It's a lot heavier and will stand up to much bigger water.
Most of you guys have seen all this already but I figured I'd post again for the heck of it.
KAD 300 single diesel. cruise 24-26mph wot 31-33mph. 240 gal of fuel, advertised range 700 miles, realistic range: 550 or so/ 70 gal water, fridge/sink/stove/microwave/bev. cooler/ AC/HEAT/ 110/12/2500watt inverter / head/shower/v birth/rear berth/2 huge fish boxes/ live well/ tackle station/ lots of storage, outside and inside.
Odd looking boat but very practical for my needs and type of of fishing. <10 made with house, most had walk thru CC and tower.
It is no luxury yacht and does not scream across the water but it is pretty comfortable esp in the weather we tend to get here.
Great boat for a 2-4 guys fishing and/or overnight at some distant port. I re-did the inside a bit last winter and did a lot of work in the engine room area.This winter I am thinking of completing some unfinished projects starting a few more and adding a few more goodies.
I get a lot of comments about it, more than any boat I have owned

God damn I love your boat. I loved it the first time you posted pics and it still looks like a monster that could handle anything.

I just pulled the trigger on a 2012 C-Hawk 25 foot center console. Will be named the "Courtney Lynn" after my better half. I think the length is 24'10", beam is 9'6". This is a photo of the stock hull, I'm having mine customized a bit for fishing/diving/family friendliness. Adding a bowrail, adding a huge casting deck/sunpad in the bow with bow dodger, enclosed transom with bracket in back. Adding power when the hull is shipped here in June 2012. SHould serve as a functional platform for 3/4 guys throwing eels and plugs, or for when I'm playing with the wife, 3 sons, and the golden retriever, who is 12 and I pray he hangs around long enough to enjoy this boat.
Love the Sea Hunts. And you don't see too many Key Largos. I kept my Key West boat at a marina in CT that sold Key Largos, the owner took me for a ride in the 23 center, supposedly the same mold as a sea craft?
This winter I am thinking of completing some unfinished projects starting a few more and adding a few more goodies.

In my boat a volvo penta duoprop outdrive coupled to a diesel. This, coupled with the cored hull is how they achieve the mileage.
They are semi-custom boats, you can get them with any kind of power you want, many are OB's on a bracket in a CC model. http://www.volvopenta.com/volvopenta...terndrive.aspx
I think now they are even building a new 32 with volvo IPS drives. But expect to pay big $$ for it. Personally, after doing a lot of research I feel the best combo for boats of this size and type would be a single diesel with a Pod drive (ala ZF) and a bow thruster. ZF Marine?s New Single POD Propulsion
SeeVee built a test boat last year for ZF with one and it was pretty impressive. Great reliability, amazing fuel economy excellent maneuverability and really good top end compared to a straight inboard. ZF is trying to work out issues in its electronic positioning controller (similar to volvo ips drives) (ie virtural anchor, etc) . The big difference is that it uses a single drive and a bow thruster vs volvo's dual ips drives. Personally I feel they should not wait for this to be worked out as the efficiency of a single for me is more than enough reason to jump on this concept. I spoke to the seavee rep and he said they have built a lot of boats with this same powerplant and nothing even came close to the performace with the ZF drive.
My "dream" rig would be this powerplant/drive in a boat design similar to what I have now.
