2017 Wooldridge Boats Sport Inboard 17' SJ Center Console V8

The Wooldridge Sport Inboard Jet is the ideal boat for those who tackle shallow rivers, enjoy a jaunt on larger open water, may need to haul a heavy load and like to include water skiing or wake boarding in their on-the-water fun.

Wooldridge incorporated some of the design from their offshore boats in the Sport's bow (18 degree deadrise) to help break up an open-water chop and combined that with a bit more through the planning surface (12 degree deadrise) to enhance the ride.

Wooldridge offers the Sport Inboard in a 20-footer, and it is truly a multipurpose boat, eager to please in a variety of conditions.

Standard power is the 5.7 liter fuel injected V-8, but the options are many: like the Yanmar 6BY-260 turbo diesel. The standard pump is the load hauling Hamilton 212 with turbo impeller. The key is to determine specific needs and sort out the power best for you.

Among the many benefits of the conventional inboard jet power is that marinized automotive-style motor. It's easy for many folks to understand and service and it offers the benefits of the automotive type heater-defroster system, a comfort and convenience for fishing friends.It is this power combination as well, that offers ultimate combination of speed, getup-and-go, load-hauling and recreational skiing, tubing and wake-boarding.

Wooldridge offers the Sport Inboard jet as an open boat with a console or as a sedan with the large two-piece walk-thru windshield. The windshield model features a recessed self-draining bow and forward walk-around with wing. That two-piece design presents optimum visibility at the helm, sitting and standing and makes it easy to load large coolers, people, gear and game, be it from the beach or river bank.

There are many other features that serious boaters and anglers will appreciate. The full length welded side trays, for example. Check out the stand-up gunnel with toe kick for stable, comfortable fishing all day long. The Sport's beamy 6' wide bottom means lots of deck space for the crew and plenty of hull in the water to get on step quickly, even with a heavy load.

Wooldridge has engineered strength without unnecessary weight into the Sport Inboard Jet with a tough and proven full support structure system.

That means better performance on the water and minimal fuel consumption and less power required to tow it. Of course this Sport carries the Wooldridge Boats lifetime limited hull warranty for the original owner.
