Thread: Show us your boat

She’s a beauty mate…..

Stabicraft have shipped a few of them into Oregon,they are not cheap by any means.They are starting to take off here for their”reputation” as unsinkable.

I understand that there is over a years wait currently for a new stabi fresh out of the factory.

Very popular boats around here

It sure makes you realize how small ya boat is when land is off in the distance. I've been about 12km out on mine and it sure makes you want a bigger boat. The free board ( if that's what you call it) is pretty low on mine and it was only the other boats around me that made me a bit happier. My first boat so still learning about this boating lark.

Great boat for hunting trips and lakes with the front opening window, allowing you to walk out the front. Have had this 7km off shore (I know that’s not far) and in shallow sneaking around Fiordland, so truely is my do it all. This new model has shifted the console right to the front, giving the same deck space as their 2100 hard top. This means 4-5 guys can comfortably fish off her.

More than a few people have said that's what owning a big boat can be like

I've spent most of my boating time in small stuff, dinghies, smartwave 3500, etc. Moved to one of these about 5 years ago



Very useful 2 person boat for fishing the shallow and the harbours.
Not much fun with more than 2 adults though.
Currently have a 6M ply hull sitting at work (Tolman skiff) to be fitted out and will live up north for family outings still being good as a 1 man band with beach launches and such.
Seaforce will stay at home to play in the Hauraki Gulf.

Yep... but I'm only one year in. So far its still like new.

I love it and would definitely go that way again if there is ever a "next boat". Its easy to clean and nice to walk on... much warmer than the aluminum hull (which is significant to consider during winter in these parts). Its also good sound insulation. I'm pretty careful, I don't drag shit across it... but its pretty robust. I use the waterblaster to clean it if it gets dirty - you dont dig it in gard or anything but its all good if you hold off about 6 inches or so.

The best boat you can have the use of is SOMEONE ELSES
I have driven big ones (over 100 m) and small ones less that (4m) in the course of my job and the absolute best thing about all of them was that they belong to someone else!!

A hole in the water you throw money into.

Boat market somewhat resembles the housing market at the moment. It's gone crazy.
