    didnt think putting that kind of tow load on unknown tie points on a boat on my first trip out was a great idea. also im no expert but untried towing on the plane seems risky.

    Was out fishing yesterday.. a mate of mine swung by with this brand new Stabi-craft.. actually very proud to see a kiwi boat being tested out on the water.. had a couple of 200Hp Hondas on the back… it looked bloody beautiful… not sure of the package price but will find out?!!!!….. STABI… getting noticed in the Pacific NW!!

    The boat was “SOLD”… they were doing a final test run before the owner pickup… told my mate I was going to put a kiwi flag sticker on it…
