2019 Wooldridge Boats XP Inboard Sportjet 17' Center Console

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 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’.

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.
