- I bought this 1989 Hurricane Deck Boat the right around the time Steve Douglas came down to fish with me last spring. It's a good boat, but just like any older boat it needs a little TLC. I've been working on getting it all fixed up a little at a time. Over all she's sound and a great project boat. I have so much more room than I did in my old Nitro Bass boat. Overall length is 19ft.
Here are the links for the lights on Ebay:

just because your moving up in the world,don't change your show,we love it the way it is.
it looks like it's loaded down lol just what every CATFISHING dude needs . really nice boat
doesn't every boat kick in gear hard ,
Sweet boat! I had a 17 foot deck boat for years, they make a great fishing platform.
Beautiful boat Kris and I really like the upgrades you have done. You have given me some good ideas for my new boat, 1999 22 ft pontoon boat with 80 horse 4-stroke Suzuki. Just got it this past fall so I have been looking for upgrade ideas. I particularly like what you did with the LED lights for deck lighting and the red/green lighting. Very nice job. Thank you!
Man nice boat gettin all set up can't wait to see it in action
I like what you did with your boat! Can't wait to see the fish you catch on it!
Hey Kris, Love the boat and the videos. Keep up the good work!!!
What an upgrade! I hope it lets you get into most of your spots.
Awesome boat Kris, looks like the perfect set up for flathead cat fishing! I'm sure there will be many fish to be caught and many memories to be made on that boat. Enjoy man, you deserve it!
Nice boat Cris. Thanks for sharing
congrats on the new boat! glad you thought about those LED lights. lol 👍👍
nice boat... and awesome year... in Texas when a vehicle or watercraft is past 25 years old it's legally considered a "Classic" ...cheap parts..and easy to work on...great choice😎
i had that same throttle problem on my old boat right when i was giving the guy who bought it a test drive.... go figure....!!! I took the throttle apart not knowing what i was doing and accidentally fixed it... LOL When you installing a giant beer cooler in that sucker? Every boat needs a name by the way.... I sense a naming contest coming...
Nice boat that will make fishing a lot more comfortable while you wait for that big one lots of room for rod holders 👍🏼
Looks great, can't wait to see it in action!! I like the rod holders you added, I will adding those to my pontoon for sure!
Thanks Mark!
Love the boat and those straps are awesome!
that's a nice boat Kris I like it.. can't wait to see you catch some fish off it..
Nice Kris, congrats on that fish catching machine!
I look around everywhere I go but can't seem to score a lake sized boat at a reasonable price. Guess that is the curse of living in a resort fishing area. You'd think they would be plentiful but everyone thinks they're gold or something. Great boat!
great boat kris..much love for everything you do thanks..saludos desde Laredo,Texas!
saludos amigo! Gracias!
Very nice boat Kris.... I’m jealous.... great Video...
Congrats on your new boat looks awesome:')
Nice boat.. Lots of room, Plenty of power!
Aloha Kris and good luck and great fishing on your new Boat!!!
Thanks Brian!
love your boat. I'm actually thinking about buying one of these right now is why I looked at your video. Thanks for sharing
I'm still very happy with it! Much better then a pontoon for sure. The low profile catches less wind. And very stable
Nice ride Kris.
Nice boat ya got there. I like the camper too!
Nice boat Kris.
I really like your boat. You can take the whole bunch on that thing...Nice..
Thank you Michael, I'll have it ready whenever you wanna come on down!
Looks great, Kris! 👍👍
Thanks Joe!
what a blessing! God is truly good! May you continue to be blessed!
Big oIle boat nice bro!
love the new boat!! I want it!!!
Nice boat kris
Nice boat and I'm sure yall love the room it has. I got a 22ft triton pontoon but it never makes it out as on my river I like to be a little ruff on my boats with rocks and stumps and sand bars as well my river can get low but I love the room it has for the lakes. you got a lot of goodies on that boat and I'm sure yall think of more to add just in case a fold down top for these work great. Now that gear delay odds are is a lower unit gear chip. when I bought my boat it was fine going in to gears while out of water but soon as I put it in the water it would rev up then more gas it would click in gear and go. found out later it was lower unit gear.
I have a 1991 20ft trying to get ready to restore it ...😱🙄great video ..stay blessed 😁
I really like the flat floor- so easy to fish on Good Fishing
Nice boat Kris. Little by little your upgrading. As for me barely looking into a pedal boat jajajaja. I'll be looking for new videos in your new boat and if you have a video by now let me know. Take care and keep on fishing.
nice boat u deserve it I been watching for a long time hope u have lots of fun
thank you!
I wish I could catch catfish like you do,it looks like a blast to have a fight like you have. Your boat looks awesome.
Good report. Some time when things are slow, a report on how you take care of your motors would be appreciated.
I have a 1990 fd226 I/o that is very similar. Looks like you are doing good. I have an old trailer similar to yours also. I see the hitch has been replaced. Mine came loose and bashed the tailgate on my expedition. I replaced it with a bulldog hitch like you see on a horse trailer. I also welded a ladder on the front of the trailer.
Love it man, I want to set up a pontoon
wow that is nice and big, really cool
It'd be cool if you could make the MRM tournament this year, they call it a tournament, I call it fun lol. It's like a 3 day meet and greet. Lots of fishing and hanging out.
I'd really like to go. Not sure if I'll make it this year
nice boat brother!
thanks!
Hi Kris, Just saw your video. nice boat! If you remove the hood on your motor you will see shift cables on driver side, lower cable is shift cable. loosen clamp and there should be a thumb screw to adjust it. as far as your pump if there is a screen on the transom your pump is on the opposite side under rear deck lid. feel free to pm me if you need more info I have rebuilt quite a few boats in my day.
I got the same boat just in red and white and mine is an 85 just started restoring it today
I just purchased a Lowe aluminum deck boat . Doing away with benches ect . Setting it up for hunting and fishing. Putting a 150 Yamaha on it .
Excellent purchase. Versatile, will work on the river or a lake. I used to have a pontoon that I used for catfishing, but with any wind on a lake it was a major pain in the ass. On the river it was fine, but I ended up getting rid of it anyways. Oh, use red lights on the boat. Its the color that will attract insects the least.
Dude!! You killed it with the lights! I'd love for you to show me how to set some up on mine. It's a pontoon stored on Solano.
Nice boat
Cool looking boat. I actually never thought about using a mid sized deck boat like yours for fishing but after the walk around you done, now I think an lil older one like that would fit me perfectly. Especially since I mainly stick to catfish and bass. Plus it would be safer on my 3 miniature me's to go out on as well. I love the look of a bass boat but most won't accommodate a family of 5 onboard.
Thanks! This boat is much more roomy than my old Nitro. I could fit 5 people comfortably and I feel much safer about Alex being in the boat.
muddyrivercatfishing so is your daughter gonna end up with your other smaller boat to run the trott lines? It was cool seeing such a younger child pulling in those big catfish down your way!
Been watching for a couple years now. Keep up the good work. If your ever in WA state. Columbia River Catfishing. coming soon. Your invited.
thanks for being a longtime subscriber!
great boat cris,you deserve it all the way,saludos desde
los angeles ca;*)
Gracias amigo, saludos!
That grinding when you shift means the shift cables need readjustment. If too lose the teeth on your clutch dog can grind off and you won't be able to shift at all. Clutch dogs are expensive too so you definitely wanna get that fixed ASAP. This exact thing happened to my outboard.
Cody Odom he needs to Lucas that shit untill he gets it done
Same thing happened on my 70 hp Evinrude. Cost $800 to have rebuilt with gently used parts. Definately want to get it checked out by a reputable mechanic.
Very nice!
Chris, on your nav lights, you may want to check and make sure the LEDs are visible from the correct angles (arcs) off the bow. Don't quote me, but I think that's 112.5 degrees both port and starboard. Nice rig, will be fun and comfortable to fish off that. Don't let it put you in the poor house! :)
felicidades cris esta bien padre!!
Nice boat! It would be a good idea to have them get rid of that oil tank and pre-mix the oil and gas.
Really like those decks boats. Where is your pringle holder? :) Can wait to see more of the DIY projects you have for it too.
nice boat
hey man. I hope fishing is good. the pump for the live bait box on that boat is in the rear of the boat. I think its on the left side (starboars). if you look at the back where the engine sits you'll see the pick up for it, it'll have a screen around the opening. I have that same boat. It's the best boat I've ever owned. good luck.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out!
I found the same boat as yours form 1988, not as good shape as your though, I am fixing it up, keep me posted of all you do to it, cuz that's my model to follow. Put on a 3rd battery and about to test a 70 lbs trolling motor on it, put in an onboard trickle charger, not the inverted but the one you plug to the wall at home.
When are going to put it on the water?
I'm looking at the exact same boat with no seats... wide open deck and perfect for catfishing.
Kris, Your LED Bow lights might not be effective. Sure they are bright enough, but on that rail, they may not be visible from 112.5 degrees,from either side, like the short vertical "sectored" light you replaced. There should be a clear break between the red and green in line with the centerline of your direction of travel, Or you could go to the forward corners and put red on one and green on the other so other boaters can tell your direction or heading just by observing your lights From the midpointof your bow bact to 112.5 degrees either side Others should see one color. The wide angle of the deck boat bow might keep them from being seen 112.5 degrees back on either side. Real NAV lights have been cast in sectors whether they are combined at the bow or separated to each side to set the 112.5 angle to each flank. Love your vids just want you to be safe, and avoid any citations.
I use to have the same boat awesome !!!
Man your great I love seeing your videos. I would love to go fishing with you on day .
Thanks Ruben! Are you in my area?
I'm in the EAGLE PASS, TX AREA BORDER TOWN DE M MEXICO WE ALSO HAVE TJE RIO GRANDE RIVER BUT I NEVER HAVE ANY LUCK WHEN I CAST OF THE BANK
Can you google the boat to see if they will show a diagram showing where the livewell pump is?
Reminds me a lot of my 1996 Lowe Deck boat, purchased last year and only had out a few times.
Looking forward to a lot of good time this summer.
Your pump is likely is same place as mine is, in a small compartment directly in front of the motor, only access is a 6" screw on cap.
Also be sure your not fighting a blown fuse or a loose wire.
Just wondering if you have thought about a mounting base for rod holders across the rear?
Hello once again Hey listen I have a 1991 hurricane deck boat and I need a drain plug do you happen to know what size that they might take??? Thanks 🤗
Can you show some video of your mounted cutting board Trying to come up with an idea to mount one on my Jon boat
I love that boat add ons! Im looking at same boat but 88. Hope to get it soon. What led bulbs were they and what cutting board you using to fit rails?
KAYAK vs. BOAT fishing challenge once the spawn/consistent 65 degree weather happens?
You draw the line, a battle will be made!?!?
Nice!!!
How did you mount your trolling motor?
Nice set up Kris. What kind of a deal did u get on the new boat?
I'd just rid of the Big anchor in the Back and put a Mercury 200 hp on that Deck boat. Your live well pump should be in the back somewhere down below the Anchor Motor. he-he.
I've been looking at these for years. I'll be moving down to Merritt Island FL. in a few years and I think it would be great for in shore and still get around quickly enough. Was curious how much you got it for?
Hey kris was looking into getting a youtube channel started this year. Was wondering what video editing software you use and any information on starting a channel. Maybe once I'm up and running we can do a challenge video like you and catfish and carp did.
Aloha Kris and your boat looks really great and do you have a name for it?
What is the brand of ratchet straps on the back please?
hello,please insure that the LED NAV lights you installed are legal...also where is your nav light for the rear...it was probably on the top you took off....Great Vid
Looks exactly like my boat. Any chance you could show me your trailer? Not sure if mine is not the original trailer but I'm having a damaging time landing the boat.
that's a nice boat just going to have to find a bigger River..lol.
hey muddy river if your not going to use your front navigation light you should look up aqua sticks powered by yolotec, they make a telescopic camera holder that's perfect for you tubers..
love the boat and I was wondering the pros and cons of fishing a deck boat good luck and have fun
Moses Williams great idea! thanks for the tip!
So tell me how is that evinrude on gas? How many gallons to the mile.
Hurricane made a good boat! the room of a pontoon and the ride of a boat! But heck with the boat man that's a sweet travel trailer!
never had much luck putting old engines back into regular service.
Nice boat Kris, I just bought a Sprint 20 ft Center console myself and I love it. So much room ! Glad I did'nt get a Bass boat like I had planned . One ? , are you in south Texas and what does it take ta own one of your caps ? Fish On brother
charles cameron thanks for watching! I'm actually in southern New Mexico. I love live in Las Cruces. you can find out shirts, hats, and fishing gear on our website at www.muddyrivercatfishing.com
that's dope kris im working hard trying to pay all my bills so i could soon but my self my boat!! congrats
question whats and where is good to go fishing around in cruces with this cold weather
not too much going on. Try looking for holes in the river further north towards Radium
muddyrivercatfishing ok thanks kris ill try to check it out, and thanks for answering back bro. and the offer is on the table lol what ever you need help in, im in lol
you like that better than a pontoon boat.
who do you recommend on boat mechanic?
Pit Dawg hmu if your in the San Antonio area
i like all your upgrades and engineering but keep your top nav lights. your led nav lights may not be totally legal for coast gaurd standards. its hard to tell from video if you have full 180 degree coverage and can be seen at 90 degree with aft light. awesome boat and upgrades
how fast will that 150 push it ?
Ricky Wells tops out at 35mph
im going Saturday to look at one just like it but its got a yamaha 150 on it
Quanto pagastes kriss
A twisted chain will break a lot easier so be carefull
👍💯💯💯
that's set up nice. need you to pimp my boat. lol. I really need to find help to get mine going. I got it almost a year ago and had someone stop and help me free and messed it up worst. so its nice 19ft got for 2k started right up. but quit 10 sec later. well he took this and that. then I went to check the gas and found the gas cap was broke inside no air flow. so got my extra gas can cap put on started up ran didn't quit. but now the fuel pump leaks the hose come off the carb I got back on but the black tie come off I can get into it to put. back on. but prob need carbs cleaned. but I can't open and. end o er the seat to fix I can't fix from the. back. so I hope my next help will let me give him something if I don't have enough cash cause that way I can truth the help if I'm paying something. but never got to take anyone last year for my group. broke a lot of hearts the kids so ready for the second year of tubbin. so I ha e to get fixed this year. if I have to sell my pull trailer old van my truck what ever I'm not letting no one down this year. well hope you get out to have fun bro. god bless. and fish on.
hey what's up Kris idk if you remember me I'm the guy at lake grapevine that you notice I used the same rod Mr catfish rods .I was being serious about you coming to lake Waco TX for some catfish . we can go out on my boat I'll take you it can be your next fishing vacation lol message me
