Research 2017 - Wooldridge Boats - 25- XP Inboard

The Wooldridge Xtra Plus has been a workhorse for decades, tackling extreme shallows, hauling the load and getting in (and out) of tight spots for the most serious outdoors folks. The Xtra Plus is known, justifiably, as the tough guy in the fleet.

That's why it was a natural for Wooldridge to select the Xtra Plus for the basis of a new design and expanded role for those who get well off the beaten course.

The Wooldridge XP (as it is now known) comes standard with a wider bottom (6'), a broader bow, a walk-around gunnel design with non-skid and stand-up toe kick. There's more room, easier access and (still) that ultra-tough .190 bottom.

That's where the story just begins with the new Wooldridge XP Inboard jet model.

Wooldridge has designed the XP in a modular fashion so boaters can select an optional wider bottom (7') and/or a thicker bottom of .250" or .440" (3/16" doubler between the center motor rails). Those who need the ultimate in toughness and protection from the most challenging on-the-water conditions can select the XP 440 package. That's the ultimate in hull protection, with more than a double hull thickness between the motor rails. And, also new, is the option of impact resistant UHMW on the bottom.

Wooldridge has experimented with adding a plastic plate to the bottom of boats for many years, developing the current system. Glen Wooldridge explained. "We just want to add a measure of strength, impact resistance and slipperiness to the hull. Sometimes impact is unavoidable and this new system is aimed to lessen impact consequences and damage."

Of course the XP is available with the wide two-piece walk through windshield or as an open console boat. Lengths range 17' to 25'.

In tandem with the many options available in the Wooldridge XP hull, there are numerous choices when it comes to power. The Mercury 200hp Sportjet is available in 17', 20' and 23' Wooldridge XP. In the 20', 23' and 25' models, The 5.7 Liter V-8 is standard, with the Hamilton 212 pump. There are higher horsepower V-8's available in the gas engine line, as well. Standard diesel power is a Yanmar 6BY-260 turbo diesel and paired with the Hamilton 212 jet drive.

The XP Inboard also has a "fishing machine" option available on 23' boats and larger. The motor is moved forward 2' with a full walk around giving an open path in the entire transom area. The rear deck around the motor is raised 3" to cover the drive line. Included are two 50 gallon saddle fuel tanks which increases range for extra-long hunting or fishing excursions.

Refined through four generations of superior boat building, rest assured that all Wooldridge boats come with a lifetime limited hull warranty for the original owner.
