Hydra-Sports question
I'm looking at a 2001 Hydra-Sports 22' LTS with a 200 Evinrude and
would appreciate any comments anyone may have about this boat. I'm primarily interested in whether it provides a decent dry ride - particularly offshore in 2-4 ft. seas. I've seen comments in some forums about some Hydra-Sports having a problem with porpoising and wonder if this would have the same problem (I know sea trial is best answer but the boat is currently out of state), Thanks in advance for any advice. |

I like, but have never owned, the Hydra Sports. My off-brand 19 1/2' does a
fine job in 2-4 foot seas so you shouldn't have a problem there. Porpoising is usually a function of the motor weight and/or angle to the transom. Almost any boat will porpoise if you trim it up too much. As you suggested, get the sea trial and see for yourself if the combination is right. A boat that size should have trim tabs that can also improve the performance.
