2002 Harbercraft 1925 TE Description
-
The world of boating in Canada is obviously far from
homogeneous. Our geography is simply too varied to bring one form of
boating or one variety of powerboat to the fore.
There are several different mainstream styles of boating (or boating lifestyles), but there are also a few smaller niches. One such niche is river jet-boating, largely practised in Western Canada.
Driving at high speeds through narrow, sometimes shallow, sometimes rock-strewn rivers is not for the faint of heart; the boats that are used in this sport are tough too.
One experienced jet-boat manufacturer, however, has been successfully building welded-aluminum boats that appeal to the recreational boating market at large. Harbercraft still has its roots planted solidly in jet-boating, but its also building boats with much wider appeal. It has been very successfully building rugged fishing-style boats of varying sizes, but wants to do more.
Thats where the Harbercraft 1925 TE comes in.
The 1925 shows its jetboat heritage most clearly in a distinctive welded-aluminum windscreen. But in many other ways, the boat, powered by a Yamaha 175 HPDI outboard, should fit right into the mainstream fish n ski market.
No question, the fishing crowd, which already has a bent for anything aluminum, will love the boat. The key will be bringing the rest of the boaters on board.
The boats appearance and performance are more than a good start. With an 18-degree variable deadrise modified-V hull, the boat has a good base for performance on the water, but also offers sleek good looks topsides. The test boat, a prototype, is built of welded aluminum, with components computer-designed and precisely cut with a plasma-cutter; structural welds are all made on the inside of the boat. The result is a smooth exterior surface. A painted finish, a silver hull and red deck on the test boat, completes the picture.
On the water, powered by Yamahas 175 HPDI direct injection two-stroke outboard, the boat is a solid performer. It runs smoothly and has little trouble handling whatever boat-wakes I created during testing in the calm waters of Lac Tremblant in Quebecs Laurentian region.
With the engine trimmed out about one-quarter, the boat lightened up and ran up to its top speed of 50.8 mph at 5.200 rpm. At 4,000 rpm, a reasonable cruising speed, the boat ran at 38.8 mph in radar speed trials. Its hard to gauge a boats ability to tow a water-skier or wakeboarder without actually doing it, but reasonable acceleration and good planing ability seem to indicate the 1925 could easily handle towing duties.
The boat reaches 20 mph in 4.22 seconds, 30 mph in 5.8 seconds and 40 mph in about eight seconds, staying on plane right down to 2,100 rpm.
As for the boats interior, its still somewhat of a work in progress. The open bow area has seating along each side and the boats final design will include under-seat storage. In the cockpit, there are two sturdy aluminum-frame seats, complete with comfortable armrests forward.
Aft, a full-width bench seat incorporates a livewell; the seat-bottom, however, needs to be wider. Likewise, toeholds under the coamings should be deeper.
As for the practical vinyl floor, the fishing folks will love it while the rest may prefer carpet; Im with the fishermen on that one.
