2000 Hydra-Sports 2796 Vector HYDRA-SPORTS 2796 VECTOR The new 2796 Vector center console from Hydra-Sports features high-tech, Kevlar-reinforced construction combined with intelligently thought-out fishing amenities, all in one incredibly good-looking package. Designed for full-tilt offshore use in the worst conditions, the2796 has an aggressive sheer line and a pronounced bow flare tokeep water where it belongs - outside the boat. Additionally,deep-vee hull cuts through waves like a hot knife through butter.All of this helps explain why the 2796 has become a real offshorecontender in the SKA tournament circuit. This is a serious boatfor serious fishermen. Clever fishing featuresabound on the 2796, starting with the integrated engine platform.A live well on the centerline of the transom top holds 50 gallonsof water and has a unique double-lid system that completely sealsthe well and prevents splashing. The inner lid even folds backto serve as a cutting board. A storage bin to starboard holdsloose gear, and a transom gate to port lets you access the engineplatform. BIG COCKPIT A cushioned, recessedpassenger seat flips up from the forward edge of the transom wall,but folds down and out of the way when not needed. The spaciouscockpit has an aggressive, molded-in diamond non-skid surfacefor sure footing. It's also self-bailing, with oversized scuppersto carry away water in a hurry. StarBoard racks beneath the gunwaleshold two rods per side. Theoptional leaning post/rocket launcher on our test boat held fourmore rods, and had a couple of drink holders to boot.

Up front, the 2796 hasa raised casting deck containing two mammoth 340-quart fishboxeswith reinforced hatches. Just aft of the casting deck is a hugesub-deck storage area that will hold lots of loose gear, but isspecifically designed for storing castnets in buckets. The Hydra-Sportsdesign team really did its homework here, because this is trulywell thought-out storage. And there's more. A pair of lockablerod-storage compartments along the forward hullsides keep yourrods safe and secure - and out of sight. These boxes are carpeted,too. Another nice touch includes pop-up, stainle
