Where the joy lives
Hurricane deck-boat staple. Space for the whole crew without a pontoon's look; soft goods and crowded bilges are the gotchas.

Watch-outs
Honest watch-outs — so more days feel like why.
- tow-vehicle-3/4-ton
Common watch-outs
- Upholstery UV and foam waterlogging on wraparound seating
- Crowded bilge access hides pump and hose issues
- Sterndrive bellows neglect on I/O models
- Boarding ladder and gate hardware corrosion
- Trailer weight often underestimated vs passenger loads
- Canvas/bimini frame fatigue at multi-bow joints
Safety notes
- Gates closed underway; kids in jackets; watch boarding-ladder prop danger.
- Don't exceed the capacity plate when the whole crew brings gear.

Not a quote, appraisal, or underwriting offer. Similar to bowriders with more soft goods; sterndrive models carry bellows risk. Great party platform — budget upholstery refresh.
