7-year manufacturer warranty/10-year fabric warrantyĮxact FitWestland exact fit covers are often patterned after the boat as it rolls off the showroom floor.Lightweight, yet strong and easy to handle.Material is vented to allow breathability.Our advice is to contact a dealer and tell them you are interested. This means that if you want to see one it will have to be by special arrangement in many cases. Some will be getting out to dealers, but certainly not in the numbers that boat builders used to pump out boats in this size and type. We asked the folks at Seaswirl how many of these new boats they planned to build and they responded that it depended on the market and the retail orders. When we compare this new boat with the 1850 Striper dual console we see that the 1905 CC is a lot lighter, beamier by 6” has a slightly deeper deadrise and has a smaller fuel tank, holding 35 gallons instead of the 62 gallons that the dual console holds. When all the hardware finally gets attached, she will have an approximate weight of 1,690 lbs (767kg). The Seaswirl 1905 CC Striper has a LOA of 18’6” (5.6m), a beam of 8’ (2.4m), and a hull draft of 14” (36cm). The design team at Seaswirl estimates that this 1905 CC Striper, when powered with the 115-hp E-TEC, should have a top end of about 43 MPH and a best cruise of around 25 MPH. Horsepower ranges from 90-hp two-strokes to 150-hp four-strokes and you can choose from any of the fantastic four (Yamaha, Suzuki, Evinrude, Mercury).
The 115 E-TEC was one of 18 engine options that will be available for the 1905 CC Striper. I asked if Evinrude was going to be the only choice and as it turns out, it isn’t. This boat was being rigged for an Evinrude 115 E-TEC. The forward fishboxes were insulated and rigged for overboard drains, not macerators, and the seat ahead of the console was built atop an insulated cooler, which is pretty standard procedure for center consoles. Note the stainless scupper drains to either side. There are 18 different power options to hang off the transom. Her 8’ beam will be protected by heavy duty rub rails with stainless inserts. Four stainless rod holders were cut into the gunwales and there was storage for another four under the port and starboard gunwales. The rub rails weren’t installed yet, but I did notice that they were heavy duty with stainless steel inserts. Dual cable is the standard, so if you intend to spend hours at the wheel on an offshore run, that’s a box you’ll want to check off. The 1905 was being rigged for hydraulic steering, but when I asked if it was standard, the answer was no. The scuppers of the self draining cockpit looked to be of decent size, and thankfully, Seaswirl goes first class on the thru-hull hardware. While the wheel wasn’t installed yet, it’s stainless with a steering knob. Here you can see some of the stainless steel hardware and the below gunwale rod storage. I also like the six cleats instead of the typical four, being a big fan of the spring line. I expected to see recessed rails that were little more than grab rails that protect you from nothing but simply give you something to hold onto when you are sitting. Here’s a serious safety feature and one that I’ve seen lacking all too many times, even in Seaswirl’s boats. Some of the notable features I did get to see were, among other things, the high, stainless steel bow rails. This boat had much more graceful curves to her form and the bow actually sloped slightly downward, just a little, to add a graceful appeal to the more traditional lines of her predecessors. While checking out the Seaswirl 1905 CC Striper under construction I saw nothing that set off any alarms, nor did I expect to, but I did see some interesting departures from the typical boats that Seaswirl normally builds. The new for 2010 Seaswirl 1905CC Striper under construction shows steel bowrails and a slight slope downward to her clean, curvy lines.
