If you want to see the sins in a boat build, just go to the factory and see it in its raw form, before all the hardware is fitted. The all new Seaswirl 1905CC Striper was still only partially clothed in the Little Falls Minnesota factory when we got our first glimpse, and so far, we like what we see. While previous models of Stripers seemed to be designed with a straight edge, this 1905CC seems to have more flair and curves to her sleek form. Join Capt. Steve on this first look at the all new for 2010 1905CC Striper.

The new for 2010 Seaswirl 1905CC Striper under construction shows steel bowrails and a slight slope downward to her clean, curvy lines.

Build inspection ...

While checking out the Seaswirl 1905 CC Striper under construction I saw nothing that set off any alarms, nor did I expect to, but I did see some interesting departures from the typical boats that Seaswirl normally builds. This boat had much more graceful curves to her form and the bow actually sloped slightly downward, just a little, to add a graceful appeal to the more traditional lines of her predecessors. Some of the notable features I did get to see were, among other things, the high, stainless steel bow rails. Here’s a serious safety feature and one that I’ve seen lacking all too many times, even in Seaswirl’s boats. I expected to see recessed rails that were little more than grab rails that protect you from nothing. I also like that there were six cleats instead of the typical four. Being a big fan of the spring line, this was also a welcome feature.



Here you can see some of the stainless steel hardware and the below gunwale rod storage. While the wheel wasn’t installed yet, it’s stainless with a steering knob.

The scuppers of the self draining cockpit looked to be of decent size, and thankfully, Seaswirl goes first class on the thru-hull hardware... all stainless steel everywhere I looked. The 1905 was being rigged for hydraulic steering, but when I asked if it was standard, the answer was no. Dual cable is the standard, so if you intend to spend hours at the wheel on an offshore run, that’s a box you’ll want to check off.

The rub rails weren’t installed yet, but I did notice that they were heavy duty with stainless steel inserts. Four stainless rod holders were cut into the gunwales and there was storage for another four under the port and starboard gunwales.



Her 8’ beam will be protected by heavy duty rub rails with stainless inserts. There are 18 different power options to hang off the transom. Note the stainless scupper drains to either side.

The forward fishboxes were insulated and rigged for overboard drains, not macerators, and the seat ahead of the console was built atop an insulated cooler, which is pretty standard procedure for center consoles.

Power options...

This boat was being rigged for an Evinrude 115 E-Tec. I asked if Evinrude was going to be the only choice and as it turns out, it isn’t. The 115 E-Tec was one of 18 engine options that will be available for the 1905 CC Striper. Horsepower ranges from 90-hp two-strokes to 150-hp four-strokes and you can choose from any of the fantastic four (Yamaha, Suzuki, Evinrude, Mercury). The design team at Seaswirl estimates that this 1905CC Striper, when powered with the 115-hp E-Tec, should have a top end of about 43 MPH and a best cruise of around 25 MPH. When the boat goes in the water we plan to test and we’ll get you those important numbers then.

Specifications...

The Seaswirl 1905 CC Striper has a LOA of 18’6” (5.6m), a beam of 8’ (2.4m), and a hull draft of 14” (36cm). When all the hardware finally gets attached, she will have an approximate weight of 1,690 lbs (767kg). Deadrise is 21 deg.

When we compare this new boat with the 1850 Striper dual console we see that the 1905 CC is a lot lighter, beamier by 6” has a slightly deeper deadrise and has a smaller fuel tank, holding 35 gallons instead of the 62 gallons that the dual console holds.

We asked the folks at Seaswirl how many of these new boats they planned to build and they responded that it depended on the market and the retail orders. Some will be getting out to dealers, but certainly not in the numbers that boat builders used to pump out boats in this size and type. This means that if you want to see one it will have to be by special arrangement in many cases. Our advice is to contact a dealer and tell them you are interested.
