Corporation Brunswick Saltwater Boat Group (Sea Ray, Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Sealine, Bella Boats, Baja etc.) several years ago bought the Sea Pro shipyard, primarily for purposes of marketing Mercury outboards, but also to expand the offer of increasingly more popular fishing boats. Sea Pro should in no way be understood as a possible competition to Boston Whaler, because those boats are brand boats of universal character that are, due to their production technology, materials applied and quality of equipment on the higher (and considerably more expensive) level.
The Sea Pros are fishing boats of affordable price for, generally speaking, clientele of average financial abilities, but nevertheless sufficiently quality to provide every more or less ambitious owner with intensive use for a long period (10-year hull warranty). On Brunswick event in Athens, we had an opportunity to get acquainted with the two Sea Pro fishing boats, of 21 and 33 feet, and both of them, with their characteristics, assured us that they are, each in own range of application, more than remunerative investments.
Redesigned for this season, Sea Pro SV 2100 Bay is above all a hard-core fishing boat, convenient for river, lake and inland sailing. We tried her on the sea, where she never showed any discomfort due to dynamic jumping over waves on a choppy sea. Even more, after several hours of riding considerably sheer waves, not a single drop of sea wetted cockpit interior. Sea Pro SV 2100 Bay has been built using wood-free no-rot construction with a fibreglass stringer system. Regularly equipped with an outboard of ample power, Mercury 150XL Verado, this boat is immediately ready for sailing out in search for catch. In combination with Mercury engine, buyer acquires full installation for immediate use and, as such, this option is according price, much more remunerative than separate acquisition of hull and engine from some other manufacturer (the main reason of Brunswick’s acquisition – how to deprive competitive outboard manufacturers of any advantage). Additional benefit is that Mercury Verado is right away ready for full encumbrance, thus it needs no time for “preparation”.
And now, let’s go to the sea. The wind was around force four to five, the sea choppy with waves of less than two metres (in photographed aquatorium the sea was moderately wavy), tank filled with around 110 litres of fuel, boat loaded with Mercury Verado of 200 HP and three persons aboard. Hull is very shallow, which immediately indicates it is not intended for open sea, but, as we said before, mainly for river and lake navigation. Due to its shallow shape, hull does not pass the waves smoothly thus you can fairly feel every wave. Nevertheless, it successfully ploughs the sea thus even in cases of submitting the boat to extreme strains in order to check its utmost possibilities, the crew stays dry. Power of standard engine is more than sufficient for boat’s size and weight, while manageability in all navigational regimes is very predictable. Any dexterous (and courageous) skipper will not be afraid to rotate the helm fully, although passengers are advised to firmly hold on to some fixed spot. Planning starts at around 3.000 rpm, while cruising speed is of almost 26 knots at 3.500 rpm with cockpit noise of 82 dB. The top speed which we had reach in this conditions of sea and loads was about 33 knots at 4.500 rpm and with noise of 85 db.

The large bow casting platform provides ample space for fishing and features nonskid diamond deck for sure footing. A dedicated anchor locker now offers a latch that has been added for easy access as well as safety. The bow also boasts two insulated fishboxes with overboard drains and plenty of space to store the day’s catch. The center-located fishbox of these two has an additional feature with a newly added gas shock on the lid for easy access. Located starboard is a rod storage locker that can hold up to four rods securely in place. Located forward of the console is a 15-gallon livewell which, when closed, also provides convenient seating. In addition to the two gunnel-mounted rod holders, there are six vertical rod holders located in the console. The silver accent band on the windscreen provides the console with added styling. The large, flush-mounted electronics area has ample space for a fishfinder or GPS. There is a deluxe instrument panel and standard compass that allow the captain to operate the boat with ease. A lockable compartment offers safe storage for valuable items. When running, boaters also have a convenient place for items such as a cell phone or wallet thanks to the addition of a console storage tray.

Aft of the console is a 28-gallon livewell located on centerline that is now equipped with a gas shock on the lid, a dedicated battery storage compartment and insulated fishbox with overboard drain. This aft fishbox can be converted to a third livewell with an optional pump. There is a large rear casting platform as well that enhances the convenient fishability of the SV2100CC. For the serious fisherman, optional recessed rod boxes offer additional rod storage.
Seating is plentiful aboard the SV2100CC. The 94-quart reversible cooler seat can be used to store either drinks for a day out on the water or function as an additional place to store fish. Two forward jump seats with cushions come standard as well.
