2015 Hydra-Sports 42 42 Siesta HCB

Additional Information

This is a brief summary listing and the photos were recently taken and have titles with description - a complete detailed listing will be added. Boat is available for showing by appointment, kept behind a private residence in Miami Beach, FL. The boat has had even further detailing and polishing since the photos were taken, it is a remarkably well maintained and updated vessel.

This particular boat was built in Venore, TN by the Master Craft Boat Company who owned Hydra-Sports Custom Boats and during their ownership substantially raised the quality level of the vessels. Around the time this boat was new, they sold the company to their primary dealer who maintained the build team and launched the new company, known as "HCB". HCB has transitioned to a nearby, but separate facility where they build some larger models and continued to advance the quality levels (and pricing). The VEGA VENTURA was sold new to this original owner by this builder as a 42 Siesta model. It has lived on a boatlift since new with a white polished gelcoat bottom, a factory Navy blue gelcoat hull with a white rub-rail and polished stainless strike strip. it has a white powder-coat supported factory hardtop with a Navy underside. In 2021, the entire deck was fitted with Aqua Marine Decking (med. gray / storm gray) and all the exterior cushions were replaced and seats recovered. The cushions are perfectly matched two-tone with gray Bentley stitched seating with white bolster borders. The Siesta forward lounge seat cushion and helm area seats also have Navy headrests. The boat has full white surrounding coaming bolsters with a flush fitted, white grab railing the full perimeter ahead of the helm seats. The tinted, solid glass windshield enclosure around the center-console has an electric opening vent to the bottom edge. The Yamaha outboards are white with custom Navy feature panels on top and Navy colored lower units. There is also a substantial side dive door which opens inward with a sturdy keeper latch and a stainless pool style swim ladder can be fitted into two receivers. For the fisherman, there are two excellent operational livewells on the transom, refrigerated underdeck fish box (plus other boxes), carbon fiber pole radial outriggers, electric reel plugs, outstanding CHIRP fish finder, plus generous rod holders throughout (and of course drink holders). The Summer Kitchen option is currently used more as a tackle center with sink, but offers excellent storage. Beneath the center of the tackle center is a brand new 16,000 Btu air conditioning unit with turbo blower and vents onto the two rows of seating. Also new is a 5kW diesel generator below deck in sound shield. The helm also has air vents which are directed from the cabin air unit.
