You can look, but never find a better value in a multi-purpose boat in the 20-25 foot range. The 230 is equal parts blue water fishing machine and family cruiser. Low hours, well maintained, very versatile.
The 230 gives superior handling and ride. Trim tabs add to the handling. Blue water capable and easily at home in a quiet cove. The spacious cabin has a portable head and galley area.
There are only a handful of companies which built walk around boats in the 20-25 foot class. These are ideal boats for a number of purposes, most prominent of which is fishing. But they also make good utility boats and can be used for day cruising and water sports of all types. The cuddy broadens the appeal to women because of the self-contained head below and privacy for changing cloths. By having a place where guests can get out of the rain or sun, or where dad can take a nap, the walk around concept offers a lot of practicality. Dollar-for-dollar, this 23' walk around gives you a return on investment that's hard to beat.
Hydra-Sports is known for being one of the fishiest brands on the market, and the 230 WA is no exception. You'll notice rod holders in the usual spots. There are rod racks in the gunwales and places for tackle and tools. There are padded bolsters all around so when you are leaning into the gunwales, you'll be comfortable.
The Johnson 225 Ocean Pro (380 hours) is clean and mounted on a Stainless Marine bracket. This makes for a very nice swim deck area. It also gives better speed, handling and economy.
The helm is uncluttered and features a Garmin Plotter/fishfinder.
