Have there been many changes from 2002 to the current models? I am looking at a 2002.

yes there has.

In 2003 the front deck was extended to allow easier mounting of a dual console, 02' would have "smaller" (not that it is small, but smallER) front deck

they quit plumbing in the baitwell behind the drivers seat I think in 2004, 02' would be plumbed in.

in 2005 they still dont have a plumbed in baitwell, but the main livewell lid is split to accomodate a minnow bucket.

in 03 or 04 they made more dash space to mount 2 units if you wanted, 02' dash is kinda cramped for 2 units, either get a combo if you want GPS, or get creative with a RAM mount.

other than that, cosmetic stuff like woodgrain vs. alum look and different seats,etc.


The hull dimensions and structural integrity did not change....just minor "creature comfort" stuff since 2002.

I've got an 04 Fish Hawk 1750. The new seats that are in it are terrible. Everyone who gets into the boat says the same thing. I know the models previous to 2oo4 had very comfortable seats. Other than those crappy seats I love it!!

The rig I'm looking at is a 2002 (purchased in 2003) Fish Hawk 1750 with a 2002 Yamaha 100hp 4stroke with 30 hours on it. It includes a AM/FM CD, livewell, baitwell, rod holders,casting butt seat, travel cover & a custom trailer. The asking price is CDN$17,900.00 or US$14,368.63. What do you guys think of the asking price? Are there better deals out there?

That seems VERY spendy, especially without electronics.

I pulled a blue book for you, had to guess on the trailer (figured a Shorelander for that size boat), but came up with $12,000 retail.

we have 2004 non-current with 115 4-stroke yammies, fully loaded with electronics,extra seats,cover for $16,995, thats only $2K more............electronics are most of that, plus you get much newer boat/motor and trailer.

If you have to put a lot of electronics on that 2002, you'll not be that far behind a new one.

I'd keep looking...........
