This 2003 Hinckley Talaria 29C is a diesel-powered center console built around the brand's signature jet drive design. Powered by a 440-horsepower Yanmar six-cylinder diesel engine paired with a Hamilton 292 jet drive, the boat reaches speeds of 33 knots and cruises comfortably at 28 knots. The composite hull uses Hinckley's DualGuard construction with Kevlar, E-glass, balsa, and Corecell core reinforced with carbon fiber, delivering strength and durability in a shallow-draft platform ideal for shallow-water exploration.
The layout prioritizes comfort and functionality across multiple seating areas. Forward, wrap-around cushioned seating for five is shaded by a folding Stamoid dodger with Eisenglass curtains and backed by three storage lockers. The center console features a varnished teak helm station with an integrated JetStick control system managing throttle, steering, and bow thruster, along with cushioned seating for two and a Vacu-Flush head with five feet seven inches of headroom. Behind the console, an engine box with insulated cooler, pressurized freshwater sink, and dual helm seating serves as a social hub, while the aft cockpit settee accommodates three with rod racks and a live bait well nearby.
In 2024, the boat underwent comprehensive refurbishment including new Awlgrip hull paint in Flag Blue, new teak deck, refurbished console and helm area, new upholstery and canvas covers, reconditioned engine, and replaced battery banks. Upgrades included new LED navigation lights, VHF radio, anchor, trim tab actuators, battery isolators, and fresh varnish throughout. A T-top shelters the helm and engine box; a cockpit freshwater shower and pressurized water system add convenience.
Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GPSmap 7612xsv twelve-inch color plotter with sounder, Garmin 215 VHF radio, and Ritchie compass. The electrical system runs dual battery banks with isolator, charging system, and distribution panel. Ground tackle features an electric windlass with helm and locker controls. Standard safety gear, dock lines, fenders, and boat hook are included.
