2007 Hydra-Sports 2900 VX Express

"Believer" is new to the market. She is well maintained, and was purchased and outfitted primarily to fish the northeast canyons. With a 300-gallon fuel capacity, it accommodates this easily; yet it is an excellent family boat too. (Class leading fuel capacity & range for a 28 – 30 foot express.) Gorgeous black & white hull with gold colored accents! The reason for its sale, life changes and only use this boat once per year for a week-long trip to the Abaco’s (Bahamas).

The 2007 Hydra-Sports 2900 VX Express provides a very comfortable and sheltered cruise, especially compared to center console boats. It is equally capable overnighting in Cape Poge Bay as it is trolling for Yellowfin at Hydrographer Canyon (as shown in the pictures)! She is clean and is powered by flawless running twin Yamaha 250 4-strokes.

All cockpit upholstery is brand new and has never been used! Below decks, the well-finished interior of the 2900 VX includes a compact galley with microwave, refrigerator, heat, A/C, generator, enclosed head with sink and hand-held shower, and a convertible dinette/berth forward with flip-up wing berths, sleeping 5 people. The teak & holly cabin sole is a distinctive touch.

A walk-through windshield provides secure fore deck access. In addition, practical side decks and a grab rail along the hardtop make walking around the boat easy and safe.

Relatively new hoses for: cockpit scuppers, generator exhaust, generator water intake, generator fuel line, transom fish box, livewell, and transom bait prep box.
