Sea Hunt 234 Ultra Boats For Sale

The Sea Hunt 234 Ultra is a 23-foot, 7-inch center console built in Columbia, South Carolina, by a company that has been making boats since 1995. With a base price under $80,000, it suits buyers who want one boat to fish offshore, work the backwater, cruise to waterfront restaurants, and pull tubes and skis. It carries an 8-foot, 6-inch beam, a shallow 13-inch draft, weighs roughly 2,800 pounds, holds 96 gallons of fuel, and is rated to a maximum 250 horsepower. Sea Hunt ultra boats for sale in this size class compete directly with the slightly shorter 229, and the 234 dedicates its extra foot to space behind the leaning post.

The hull uses a variable-degree deadrise: a 55-degree entry at the bow that throws spray wide for a dry ride, transitioning to 22 degrees at midship and 18 degrees at the transom for a stable bottom-fishing platform. Sea Hunt's broken sheer design carries the Carolina flare well past the console toward the stern. The standard engine is a Yamaha 200 inline four-stroke with integrated hydraulic steering, and stepping up to the Yamaha 250 V6 adds electric steering, fly-by-wire shift and throttle, and a CL5 display for roughly $12,500 more. With the 200, the boat runs about 40 mph at 5,300 RPM while burning 15.4 gallons per hour, and reaches around 42 mph on flat water.

At the helm you get a vision stainless steel wheel with tilt and OEM Command Link Yamaha digital gauges as standard rather than a paid upgrade. A JL Audio Media Master 50 stereo drives four speakers, with a wireless phone charger above it plus a 12-volt outlet and USB port. The standard display is a 9-inch Garmin 943xsv, with a 12-inch 1243xsv available. A Garmin VHF radio sits in a fiberglass electronics box and networks to the GPS so its DSC distress function transmits coordinates to the Coast Guard. A helm pad on the dash and a standard compass round out the console.

The cockpit includes a walk-through transom door, a four-step reboarding ladder that drops well below the waterline, and pull-up cleats. Under the bench seats sit a 15-gallon aerated live well, a standard dual-battery setup, and a removable 5-gallon storage bucket. A starboard stern anchor locker keeps a muddy second anchor out of the cabin. Freshwater shower with a 10-gallon tank and raw-water washdown are standard, and flush-mount floor drains replace the older half-moon style. Leaning post choices range from the standard post with rocket launchers and flip-up bolsters to an Ultra mezzanine seat or an Ultra leaning post with bait well and tackle storage.

The bow seats two adults up to 6 foot 5 with legs stretched out, over a 140-quart insulated cooler to starboard and a 92-quart fish box to port, both draining overboard, plus a forward console seat with a 48-quart cooler and a porta-potty inside the console. For shade, the hardtop option adds blue mood lights, extra speakers, a misting system and spreader lights, while the lower-cost canvas option includes a spray shield, electronics box, and life jacket storage net. Owners commonly add a Sea Hunt 234 Ultra boat canvas package along with a leaning post cover and a Sea Hunt 234 center console boat cover; a Sea Hunt Ultra 234 boat cover over the helm protects the captain's chairs and dash between trips.
