984.0. "1984 Sea Ox 200c" by TOPTEN::GODFREY () Tue May 26 1992 18:02

    I'm looking at buying a 1984 Sea Ox.  The boat is a 20ft walkaround
    with a 1990 135 Merc.  The motor was bought in 91.  The hull looks
    to be in good shape and the motor is spotless.  Does anyone have
    any experiences/opinions about Sea Ox.  The seller is asking 10k.
    
    Thanks,
    Larry

984.1	Thumbs up on Sea Ox	LEVERS::SWEET	`Mon Jun 01 1992 14:17`	5
	Everything I have heard about Sea Ox is good. It is a very heavy and solid hull. They are similar to Grady White in design and lay out. Bruce
984.2	Another Sea Ox fan....	SUBPAC::CRONIN	`Mon Jun 01 1992 17:40`	9
	My father has an ~84-86 Sea Ox 20 ft. CC that I've spent a LOT of time in. I think it's a great boat, and as Bruce said, heavy and solid. Never any feeling of flex or shudder in the hull even in REAL rough seas. The 135 should be good power for it also, my father has a 90 on his and it's slow getting up on plane but will still do 30+ with no problem. I put a Doel Fin on it last year for him and it does get up quicker now AND he says it helped the rough water handling a lot. B.C.
984.3	Phone Number for Sea Ox	POOL::JMCLAUGHLIN	`Mon Jul 26 1993 16:41`	10
	Does any have a Phone number for Sea Ox. I would like to buy replacement seat covers for the rear seats. Thanks Jim
984.4	How about Sea-Ox??	CACHE::KLAUZINSKI	`Fri Aug 05 1994 15:36`	11
	And the boat search goes on... Anyone ever ridden in a 20' Sea Ox??? I'm looking at a 1982 cc with a 1991 evinrude 150. The Sea Ox boats I've seen in the past look pretty sturdy. However a suspicious source told me they really "pound" and will be annoying after awhile. Can anyone comment.... Thanks again in advance.
984.5	look for a deep v	BLUEFN::GORDON	`Mon Aug 08 1994 12:38`	11
	If you want to lessen the "pounding" look for a deep V design 20 degree or greater. My 25' Bayliner trophy has a 20 degree deadrise at the transom and can comfortably run 25 mph in a 2-3 foot chop. My other boat had a modified V design and my knees knew it in a 2 ft chop. There are many new hull designs out there. If you're looking for a center console; have you looked at the Sea Cat made by Sea ox? According to the literature, it refuses to pound in any sea, is cheap to run (twin 90 hp max) and runs fast.
