2001 Sea Pro SV 2100 Good Boat?

[Bateauxbob]

Anybody own a Sea Pro SV2100? <br /><br />I looked at a 2001 with a 150hp Yamaha. Seller is asking 12,900, but has said he would take 12,000. Has a custom leaning post. Nice custom t-top, furuno 600 L color fish finder, vhf radio and a 2003 trailer. Motor has 244 hours. What is a reasonable offer?<br /><br />Next step is to find a good surveyor (Long Island NY).<br /><br />Any advice is greatly appreciated. <br /><br /><br />Looking to hear your opinions good and bad.

Sea Pro is a good mid tier boat. You need to test it in some chop. Not much deadrise. Calm conditions its OK.<br /><br />HH

Thanks. What exactly is "Deadrise"<br /><br />And while I am at it what does "WOT" mean?

Deadrise is the degree of "V" at the transom. Flats boats have none. Bay boats have 14-18 degree deadrise and offshore boats have 18-24. True deep V's have 24 degrees, some have a little more. The higher the deadrise the better a boat rides and the better it cuts waves. There are some disadvantages to a high deadrise. They tend to rock and roll more at drift, anchor and troll. Personally it never bothers me in my 24 degree deadrise boat and I much prefer the smoother ride in rough seas.<br /><br />WOT=Wide Open Throttle<br />HH
