Congratulations on the new boat deedubya. I am betting you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
I think a lot of complaints probably stem from the fact that SeaPro only started making boats again in 2015...they were bound to have problems at the beginning. It's like buying a first model run of a vehicle. It still really sucks for the folks that got in that situation. That being said, as far as I can tell, every manufacturer has boats that come off the line with problems...it's how they deal with it that makes the difference

Hello all! I am new to the site and to Sea Pro. I just purchased a new 239 after several months of very critical research and consideration! I visited every center console dealer available to me within 100 mile radius at least once, several more than once. I am sure some of the dealers were getting tired of me coming in, crawling all over there boat & asking so many questions. To me this was a one time decision that I wanted to make sure to get right the first time. It is a retirement gift to myself & one that I have worked hard for and dreamed of for many years now. I am shocked, to say the least, at some of the comments I have read of a few here on the Sea Pro 239. What stood out to me immediately over the other boats, including the Sportsman, the Sea Hunt, the Tide Water was the fit and finish of the boat! There was no comparison. All my hatches are very sturdy, they close and align with precise precision. I can only think of one of the lids that are not sealed with a gasket and it is access to the fresh water shower head on the stern. I have seen no unfinished painted fiberglass anywhere accessible on the boat. I have not left my boat out in the rain for anything more than a day, but I have not seen any evidence of any drainage problem at all! The ride of this boat has been extremely dry and soft. I listened to several of the competitors sales people warn me that "the Sea Pro hull would beat you to death!" I know for a fact that these people were either intentionally telling a lie or have not rode in the new hull so they did not know any better! I have less than 10 hours on my boat at this time & it is currently at the dealer having a Minnkota 72" 36V I Pilot trolling motor installed. I had the Humminbird Helix 12 installed in dash. It will be linked with the Minnkota. I am a very happy camper with my 239. I will be writing a complete review on the boat once I get a few more hours on it. I feel confident I made the right decision going with the Sea Pro 239! No buyer remorse here! I hope this helps some of you who were looking for info on this boat. More to come! Congrats on the new 239 and thanks for the report, I think the drainage issues have been sorted out by now and it's no surprise that something new has had some teething problems. Welcome to the forum and we look forward to your future reports.

I have a 2003 Sea Pro 19 ft bay boat with a Mercury 115 4-stroke. It is 19 years old . I tried to find a reason to trade it in for a new one. But it looks just as good as the day I purchased it. It has been Undercover from day one half the time I spend on lakes half the time I spend on the Gulf never had a problem that wasn't normal. You will not be sorry that you purchase A Sea Pro. There is no wood anywheres on a sea Pro boat. Go boating have fun.

Any updates on the 239? Considering buying one and this thread is concerning to say the least?
