I have the same boat and anchor and have only had one time where the anchor was in the way when launching or retrieving, that would be a pain in the ass. The bunks on the tuff trailer that NR starting using during and after the pandemic must put the boat a little higher up and help. I also optioned with self bailing deck so no worries about excess water flooding the deck and into the bilge or fish and crab guts to stink things up, keep up the great videos of fishing and cooking very inspirational along with all the great family time
@@kellymckrill1313 thank you for watching we appreciate your support 🙏
Didn't know the HT had an option for self bailing deck. How does it look or describe where it is?
@@NRYT2360 I tried to leave you a response but it was deleted for some reason drains on corner of back of deck like on larger OS models, it’s on the options list welded rear self bailing deck from NR for 25 Seahawk Hardtop, for me a must have,
Enjoyed this. I have a 21.5 Seahawk Fastback that I acquired new a year ago. Really, really enjoying it. Haven't had any complaints yet, except that I wish I had upgraded on the trailer. Got the trailer working well, but had to put a little time and $ into it. The boat runs like a top and we've boated plenty of fish on her.
@@mustangsandwich thank you for watching. I appreciate it your support.
Overall, I really like North River. I’m sure every manufacture has some kind of issues.
On the Hewescraft 24 Oean Pro it comes standard 3 bilge pumps two in the back one in the front
@@nicolassanchez6721 thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.
Good thoughts! I did notice you are backing your trailer in REALLY deep when you are reloading. You barely want that water touching your forward axle fenders. Drive her right up onto the bunks! I clean my bilge pumps religiously. I could see that story ending up really bad.
@@rjwright1494 thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.
I agree with another post, you are putting your trailer way to deep in the water. It was still floating while almost to the roller. It should be well in contact with the bunks 3-5 ft from the bow roller. It will also center itself on trailer much better this way
@@bradhutchison6226 thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.
I tried both ways if it’s not deep enough anchor bracket will go under the roller, without Removing the anchor, it’s not possible to load the boat on the trailer.
Ya if that nose of anchor nest hits the winch stand with the front axle of the trailer fender just barely under water (1/4 inch) then maybe the anchor bracket and nest need moved back a bit to clear the winch stand. I don’t have that style anchor as I use the Columbia River Anchor style (Fish Fighter) and it clears the winch stand no problem but sets further back. Nice Boat by the way!
@@kwikrench thank you for your comments. Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.🙏👍
What model anchor winch do you have on there? How much rope does it hold? Do you like it? Nice video 👍🏻

@@hookedforanicemeal cool thanks for sharing that info!!
great video, I'm in the market for a 24-26' hard top for puget sound, so this is very timely.
Does your anchor not go all the way into the anchor nest? It looks like it isn't in its fully stored position. Either way, you could look at swapping for a Columbia river anchor with an anchor nest from Anchor Caddie or Fish Fighter. I have a nest on my sled and it works well, though it needs a bit of help to transition from vertical to horizontal.
@@warrenhunts thank you for watching. I appreciate your support..
Yes, it does go in to nest all the way what I met every time I need to launch my boat or retrieve it. I need to take the anchor out otherwise it’s gonna hang on my trailer.
I own a 24 Fastback. Go with the fastback, the rear hard cabin wall makes it too confined. I am selling mine since I never used it, but these are great boats. I have a 300 ob, Radar, down riggers, etc. They hold their value. But in such a small boat, the hard rear wall, and the second station is too much. With the soft rear back you can pilot the boat from the help, no issues, and it really feels larger.
The pole for the bow hook on the trailer look like that could be cut down without effecting trailering performance, but eliminating your problem with the anchor when launching/retrieving?
@@NRYT2360 thank you I will look into it 👍
Have you been happy with your ezloader trailer? Myself and two friends bought three new boats last year and have had problems with leaky hubs.
@@rph3344 overall it’s OK. I’m not very thrilled with it checked the Hubs they are not leaking. just replaced new tail lights on it. They didn’t last very long.
It amazes me they charge a premium for their boats and put them on sh!t ez loader trailers.
have you tried flipping anchor to the up position instead of hooks hanging down ?
@@bayarea6464 yes I have overtime when I tow the boat chain will get loos and anchor start tilting on the side.
Get the Fastback, in a 24 foot boat that rear hard wall gets in the way, and the second station isn't necessary if you have a fastback. You can see this guy, although nice, is VERY inexperienced. Retrieving the boat is sign. But make a You Tube video, and you're an expert. My 24 fastback has a 300 Yamaha, a Simrad Halo +, and power down riggers. Also, I use a MinnKota Terrova trolling motor with Spot Lock. You may never use or need that Anchor system on this one. Think it out.
@@gofy8481 don’t get me wrong fastback is a nice boat. My friend has one I would prefer hardtop Seahawk over. fastback.
How much did u pay for the boat? Looking to upgrade from a 17' to a 22 or 25
@@williamh6319 thank you for watching. I appreciate your support. I bought my boat before pandemic $126,000.
You need a better mic

Sorry about inconvenience hearing us.We will try to improve Microphone issues in the near future.
Give it 10 years then do an episode on corrosion, I speak from experience. And yes I washed my boat every time I got out of the saltwater.
@@michaelbartyzal1306 I agree 100% when it comes to saltwater it doesn’t matter how good you clean your boat overtime corrosion will get to it
@@hookedforanicemeal Keep a close eye on your bilge area especially If you haul crab pots. salt water from the pots finds its way into bilge which never drys out and corrosive can start. It’s noteworthy that NR says in their manual that they don’t recommend excessive salt water use or mooring. I love asking NR sales representatives about this at the boat shows and watching them squirm. I’ve owned both fiberglass and aluminum boats, both have there advantages and disadvantages. We vacation in Florida and I asked a boat sales rep why they don’t use more aluminum boats down there. He said they have a hard enough time making aluminum outboards last
More than 10 year from corrosion, the last thing they want is a whole boat made out of aluminum. I’ve owned both fiberglass and aluminum boats, both have there advantages and disadvantages. My experience has lead me to think that for a boat that’s primarily used in salt water I prefer fiberglass.
@@hookedforanicemeal Yeah, it’s note worthy that NR says in their owners manual they don’t recommend excessive use in salt water or mooring🙄. I find it interesting to ask NR salespeople at boat shows about this and watch them squirm. From personal experience If you do a lot of crabbing it’s advisable to rinse and keep the bilge dry. Salt water from crab pots will find its way into the bilge and cause bilge corrosion. In general corrosion in the bildge is something that’s often overlooked, but is very real because bilges often never dry out. These are things I wish people had told me when I bought my aluminum boat, it would have saved me lots of money. We vacation in the Miami area and I once asked a boat mechanic why there isn’t more aluminum boats down there, he said “we have a hard enough time making aluminum outboards last more than 10years in this hot humid high salt content water, we don’t want a entire boat made of aluminum. Anyway, Both fiberglass and aluminum have there pros and cons, Ive owned both . With that said if I’m going to primarily use the boat in salt I’m going fiberglass based on my personal experience.
