Hurricane Deck Boats

Mark, I drove a Hurricane deck boat many years ago. See quite a lot of them on the water. Pretty sturdy boat.
You may want to make sure that the 90hp is enough motor. Load it up with wife, kids, coolers etc when you test drive (if you can). See how she does with it loaded like you are going to use it. What is the max HP rating for that boat?
I had six people in my Sport this weekend...may have to borrow that Hurricane next time

Jim, I hear you on the HP - it is rated for 150 and the 90 seems marginal to me. I am just getting tired of taking 10lbs of stuff in a boat capable of only holding 5lbs. 3 kids are getting bigger and the stuff they want to take on the water is unbelievable right now we tote a Jr. wakeboard, wake skis, Jr. skis, adult skis, and a kneeboard to satisfy everyone. Thankgoodness that most of the time our friends are with us and they have a pontoon.

Pete, from what I found googling an independent report on the boat said the quality/ride was good and that the stringers were "PT wood encapsulated in foam for positive buoyancy" this is almost the exact quote. The top deck is then fastened with a lip over design sealing the inner hull from water with s/s screws 8"oc and then a bumper pad over this at 8"oc theoretically sealing the top lid every 4"oc to the bottom hull.

I might just save the money and tell the kids they get to ride one toy per outing.

Hurricane was the first deck boat brand I ever remember seeing. They should have had it right by 2000. Deck boats are the minivans of boats. no one brags about owning one but they will do a lot of things well. 90 does sound a little underpowered for a boat rated for a 150. especially for someone used to driving a CC.
