Overview
The SeaChaser 24 HFC, standing for Hybrid Fishing Cruise, is a versatile boat designed to appeal to the entire family with a focus on both fishing and cruising. Powered in this test by a 250 horsepower Evinrude E-Tech G2 outboard engine, the boat supports a maximum rated horsepower of 300. The model comes equipped with an extensive list of standard features aimed at simplifying the purchase decision and enhancing user experience.
Power and Performance
The test boat was fitted with an Evinrude E-Tech G2 250 horsepower engine featuring a 25-inch shaft and a three-bladed stainless steel propeller measuring 15 1/8 inches in diameter by 20 inches in pitch. With two people aboard and 75 gallons of fuel, the vessel weighed approximately 4,035 pounds. Performance testing recorded a top speed of 52.8 miles per hour at 5,500 RPM. The optimal cruising speed was found at 3,500 RPM, where the boat traveled at 31.7 miles per hour while consuming 7.5 gallons per hour, resulting in a fuel efficiency of 4.2 miles per gallon and a range of 380 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Evinrude claims their E-Tech G2 engine burns 15% less fuel than competitors, partly due to the hydrodynamic SLX gear case design that reduces drag without compromising speed or acceleration. Acceleration tests demonstrated the engine's torque advantage, with the boat reaching 20 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 9.5 seconds.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Starting at the bow, the SeaChaser 24 HFC features a U-shaped settee with removable cushions that convert into double lounges. The backrests are also removable, and the storage compartments beneath the bow cushions are insulated, offering 52 gallons of volume. Side combing pads serve as backrests, complemented by cup holders and built-in handrails. The bow seating stands 16 inches tall, allowing passengers to stretch out comfortably with 53 inches of length and a removable backrest for support. Additional forward seating is integrated into the center console’s face, with a fold-away seat that increases deck space when not in use. A starboard side door on the center console provides access to dry storage or an optional head compartment. The helm is positioned to the port side of the console, featuring a detachable acrylic windshield that shelters two occupants. The optional powder-coated T-top legs support a molded fiberglass hardtop with integrated storage, LED lighting, and stereo speakers. The underside of the hardtop is color-matched to the hull sides and is prepped for aftermarket outriggers. The cockpit depth of 28 inches enhances security for offshore fishing, while 10-inch-wide cap rails and 18 inches of walkway space between the console and combing pads facilitate movement. The stern includes a removable bench seat and backrest that open to reveal an aft casting deck. Dual stainless steel drains are located at each aft corner, and a center hatch provides access to engine batteries and systems. A built-in side entry door, measuring 21 inches wide with a 5-inch above-waterline cutout, allows easy boarding and water access. Additionally, a four-step telescoping ladder on the starboard transom facilitates water entry and exit.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is equipped with dynamic power steering exclusive to Evinrude, allowing the captain to adjust steering sensitivity for improved handling. The Icon 2 premium throttle and shift control operates via fly-by-wire technology, while the iTrim feature automatically adjusts engine trim for optimal performance. The dash includes a compass, though the reviewer noted a preference for a more substantial compass mounted atop the console. The switch panel features rocker actuators with icon labels and LED backlighting. The helm seat is a double-wide cushion with a forward-tilting backrest and two footrests molded into the console and seat base. Additional amenities include a stereo system with USB and MP3 ports, located above two cup holders. The open panel space measures 23 inches wide by 14 inches tall, providing room for instrumentation and controls.
Fishing Amenities
The SeaChaser 24 HFC is well-equipped for fishing activities. Rod holders are positioned around the aft portion of the T-top and along the cap rails, totaling eight additional holders. Six rods can be stored under the gunnels. Twin livewells, each with a 25-gallon capacity, are integrated into the port quarter and the leaning post seat, providing ample live bait storage for extended fishing trips. Adjacent to the starboard leaning post livewell is a rigging sink featuring a folding faucet and a cutting board lid, enhancing convenience for bait preparation and cleaning.
Conclusion
The SeaChaser 24 HFC powered by the Evinrude E-Tech G2 250 outboard presents a well-rounded package for families seeking a versatile boat capable of both cruising and fishing. Its combination of efficient power, thoughtful deck layout, ample fishing amenities, and comfortable seating areas make it suitable for bay and light offshore use. The boat’s handling characteristics, fuel economy, and user-friendly features such as dynamic power steering and iTrim contribute to an enjoyable and manageable boating experience.
