Offshore Boat Build – Day 1 | Trading Up to a Hydra-Sport 25

In this video, we walk through our Hydra-Sport vector 25 center console, the boat we recently traded into as the next step in our offshore journey. Follow the Hydra-Sport series, where I break down the setup, systems, and upgrades that will allow a safe crossing from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini next summer.

I'll walk through the current setup including the Simrad navigation system, twin 2021 Suzuki 200 outboards with approximately 600 hours, a Rodan 36-volt trolling motor, and Bennett trim tabs.

If you’re looking for offshore-capable center consoles, or planning a Florida to Bahamas crossing, this series will cover everything from systems and reliability to real-world use and upgrades.

👉 This video pairs with our recent “Trading Up to the Hydra-Sports 27” video and kicks off a full breakdown and walk through.

We’re documenting the full Hydra-Sport 27 build, from the initial trade to offshore-ready upgrades.

Drop a like and subscribe to follow every step of the build — upgrades, decisions (good and questionable) all it takes to turn a center console into an offshore-capable boat. New episodes coming soon!
