Which one do you like better?

 

[SORTIE]

I prefer the Robalo, but know nothing about the build qualities of those two brands

good luck!

both good boats, depending on the yr, the robalo is heavier. and the vector series is reinforced with kevlar.

I would put them in a similar class in terms of quality when new. Now you need to figure out which one works best for you in terms of relative price/condition.

What are they approximately going for?

I'am sort of partial to the HYDRA-Sport. I did happen to own a Robolo
way back and it was a good boat also. Quite a bit heaver - more power needed. Mine is a 21 Sea Horse with the 150 and it's veryyyyy good on gas.

I'll also add my $.02 in favor of the HydraSports. I have the 230 Seahorse with a 200 HP Johnson. I'll agree that it is very good on the petrol. Really nice ride as well with a rreally wide beam which makes fishing really nice.

Both are nice, I would take the hydrasport I think they are built better.

Tough call. Both are good hulls. Personally i prefer the Hydra sport but I must say in all honesty there were A LOT of problems with the evinrude ficht motors (which is whats on that boat for sale). And thats coming from an Evinrude FAN!

AS for the merc on the Roblao. I really dont care for Merc but I THINK from what little I can see of the cowling, thats either a older optimax or an EFI in which either is prob. a better motor. ****! I cant belive I typed those words. That hurt. Its like a chevy owner praising a ford

Now if that Hydra sport had an E-TEC on the back...it would be a done deal in my opinion

The only thing better than a Merc on the transom is 2 Mercs hanging on the transom!
