I believe it is a 230CC or 250CC Clearwater.
Out of curiosity…when did Clearwater Boat Co. start? The oldest hull for sale I can find is a 2006.
This hull is a '99 which is why I ask.
I looked up the sc number and the boat is registered as a 23 Hydra Sport, according to DNR
SEMPER FI
30 gw marlin
35 donzi sfc (sold)
25 pursuit cc(sold)
45 egg harbor sportfish (sank hurricane)
But what model Hydra Sport? Thanks.
It said 2300 center console

I have Googled that until my eyes are blurry. Search it and look at the images. If you find a boat that looks like this one, please post it or give me a link. I am searching for “1999 Hydra Sports 2300 center console”. No results that look like the boat here…
I’m assuming you used the dealer function on the DNR website? I get zero useable information from them on the standard search.

Originally posted by sellsfishA friend of mine bought this boat, waiting to get the title. Hull is a 99, I am not sure what make it is…any ideas?
How, I am 100 percent behind it being a 1999 23 foot Hydra Sport.
At least I am consistant. All my guesses are 100 percent. 
OK… now I KNOW, it’s an Angler. 100 percent.
See that line. I didn’t see it until I posted that last picture.
You are correct on Hydra Sport. here is the vin# HSX3C114K495, so it looks like it is a 95, not a 99

HIN search comes up Hydra Sports, but still leaves the model unclear. I wish I could find a picture of another one for verification. Still can’t do that by searching for '95 or '99 hulls.
Here’s one just like it:
This is a completely different hull from the 23’ HydraSports Lightning (rebadged Sunbird) that they started to build later on.
Clearwater (and related companies) ended up with a lot of the old OMC (Hydrasports, Stratos) molds, so it probably is the same boat as the Clearwater.
The Dude nailed it. Good work!
That was fun, let’s do it again! Any other mystery hulls out there? I’ve got a 2000 Hydrasport Seahorse and I kept going back and forth if it was a Hydrasport or not.
When we’re on the road I try to name the boat brand as far away as I can to impress the kids. I’m running about 75%, they are impressed!

Ahhhh… Chris Craft Silver Arrow or maybe a Bertram Barron??
So how much did your friend get it for and what Electronics did the seller leave with it? Just curious. A good dawn/bleach mixture and a pressure washer followed with a little wax, should make it clean up nice!
After I’ve patronized your store and sent you many customers you have to be a smart ass to me?
Well I guess you can’t help that you joined the core instead of going with a first class branch like the Air Force that let’s their guys have some A/C during basic.
I just saw this and got a good laugh!!! My friend that is getting the boat is named FRED! I was not being a smart ass to you.
