2014 Hydros Marine 23WA

Step aboard the Hydros Marine 23WA and the first thing you notice is how much boat you get in 23 feet. The wheelhouse offers real protection without feeling cramped, with enough glazing to keep sightlines clear in sloppy weather. Side decks are secure and usable, so moving forward to tend lines or drop the hook feels confident, not precarious. The cockpit coaming height is just right for bracing during a fight with a fish, yet still comfortable for friends leaning and chatting on a sunset cruise. Storage is thoughtfully tucked away in lockers and under seats, so gear stows cleanly and the deck stays open. It’s the kind of rig you can launch early, fish hard, then hose down and be ready for the next run.

The 23WA shines in local waters where conditions can swing from glassy to choppy over a single outing. The enclosed helm and solid windshield give you the confidence to keep going when the breeze and spray pick up, while the compact length keeps launching and retrieving simple at most public ramps. Shallow-draft versatility lets you nose into protected coves, yet the deep, hand-laid hull feels secure on longer runs offshore or across open sounds. With a layout that suits trolling, bottom fishing, and relaxed harbor cruising, this model adapts easily to the mixed inshore and nearshore adventures that define boating in this region.
