Title: Our "new" boat
Post by: lokidog on January 14, 2017, 05:59:57 PM
Hopefully this will be attached to my truck by the end of next week.   :tup:  2013 Hewescraft Ocean Pro HT, 22' plus extended transom. This will be like having a boat at least four feet longer than our Alumaweld.

The float test was inconclusive, no obvious signs of water entry.

Yes. This is a 2013 from Portland. The insurance was good, just not quite good enough for a new boat.

Hope so.... This one will be insured for 150K. ;-)

Not this boat, my Alumaweld rolled over at the dock in the marina for some crazy reason in Dec.

Maybe I'll be able to find someone who knows the halibut holes and I can follow them this spring......   :rolleyes:

I was thinking of taking Weathergirl over to Victoria for an inaugural voyage.

I may be willing to trade some pretty good Neah Bay halibut information for some San Juan spot shrimp information. I've been wanting to get up there for shrimp. The canal is a zoo.

@lokidog how was your boat ride home yesterday?

Of course my maiden voyage was done in the dark....  :rolleyes:   It was good though.  I've got a few things that I need to do like figure out how to shade the bow as the spotlight really lights it up making it hard to see, I need to get a stool as the rails are a lot higher for getting in and out, the driver's seat needs a new compression cylinder, and I'd like to install some kind of cabin heater. Oh yeah, need a GPS/fishfinder as well.

I'd be interested in meeting with you someday to check out your new ride Ed, I've been thinking about that exact boat, or maybe the Alaskan, but have never been in one on the water. They seem like great boats for running around the SJ's and maybe doing some boat camping.

I'm not sure of the difference of the Alaskan model from the Ocean Pro, they are definitely not very common around here and are quite a bit more expensive than the OP's from what I saw in my search. I'll take you for a ride some time if you want.

Post by: 7mmfan on January 31, 2017, 02:50:54 PM
The Alaskans are a touch wider and have a larger fishing deck, but you are right, they are not common, and are more expensive. Probably overkill for this area, but I like my space   :chuckle:
