northriver seahawk

[spring fever]

Wasn't it just the 225hp around 03 -05?

4 strokes 225 hp from when they first came out until early 2006 (depends in 2006 when it came off the line)

Find a boat yet. Spotted this one in California, http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2006-North-River-Seahawk-604444 , has nothing for hours on the engine. Any reason you are looking for one that is 2008 and up?

Almost makes you wonder, for 10 grand ( plus the 1200 tax ) difference do you go with a boat 8 years old even with low hrs. or new with warranties. Also how firm are they on the new ones. Maybe they have some room lhere? I know your not getting some of the accessories but you can find some of those used. 8 years from now what's the resale on a 06 versus a 2014 going to be with similar hours?
Just wondering.

It was more then just the 225hp motor I think.

There have been a number of class action lawsuits launched against Yamaha concerning model year 2000 - 2005 first generation F series 4 stroke outboard motors. The F-225 seems to be the engine that has attracted the most attention with this problem. If you're considering purchasing a boat with this engine - particularly if it has less than 500 hours - tread very carefully! Google "yamaha corrosion problems" and you'll find a lot more information.

Nice clean looking boat but there is a big difference between the 20ft and under and the 21ft and over seahawks.

That boat has the 30" sides which are the low sides for the SH model. The 115 will work but the 150hp is the more desired. I do like the 78" bottom on that boat that would have been upgrade I think.

 

[Northislander]

The 21ft has an 84" bottom and 35 " sides

yah that is a 20 ft with an e wreck motor

 

[Fish Assassin]

And it's 20ft including pod. So I guess it's an 18 footer.

 

[JAC]

The boat is 20 plus pod when I talk to him he said it was 22 over all. Looks bigger then a 18 to me.

 

[Fish Assassin]

Quote from ad..... "20 ft length overall including checker plate swim grid with build in offshore bracket"

 

[dwflyrod]

that is a 20 ft for sure

 

[JAC]

that is a 20 ft for sure

you think its 20 plus bracket im pretty sure it is from what i can see he also told me it was last august but who know

 

[Northislander]

I like the sound of this Seahawk dwflyrod. I would love to have a 225HP on mine but that will have to wait for a few years. If you go to the Yamaha website they actually have the specs of their engines paired up with the 21 Seahawk. Gives you a good idea of performance differences between the 150,200 and 225 engines.
