Jeff Stryker I have the current model 1850 supercab and I can vouch that they are a superb boat . Boat before the stabi was a 2017 yellowfin 6700 and the smaller stabi performs 100 times better than the bigger ally boat
Is nobody picking up on the fact that all of those boats ( and all of the Deep Vees in the other videos, some very pricey machinery there) have the crappy old setup of clears tacked on over a low windscreen? So, no wipers, flying blind if the weather is bad , the spray/rain is flying and you need to have them zipped up. Then, they leak onto the expensive electronics on your dash. Fine if the weather is perfect all the time ( and useful if navigating in the dark , better vision if you zip them down.) Any boat in this price range should have a proper hardtop with flat windows , top vents, and wipers on flat glass.
You can't see through hard tops at night. A lot of tuna fishing trips start pre-dawn and finish after dark so unless you go to the expense of fitting Flir it's going to suck driving at night
@@MrGavo1978 I did mention that the vision is better if there is nothing in front of you. . I spent thirty years at sea for a living, looking through glass in the dark. The proportion of time the average fisherman, even the guys who do long trips, spend in the dark is small compared to the rest of the day. We can agree to disgree, I stand by what I said, I'm happy inside my hardtop, with wipers, and glass kept clean with glass polish.
Interesting that the Cootacraft hulls are based on a yank design , the Apache racing boats. Great performers, great offshore , but you REALLY have to know how to drive one. In quartering of following seas, they are a bit touchy, unlike the Eden craft or the Bass Strait
why do australian always make boat smaller and usa always make boat bigger ? do really a good hull & design even its small is better than bigger boat ? coz i tot bigger is always better even the hull is not gud as australian hull.
Man they put a lot of power into a 6m boat. Over here in no we push our 6m alloys with 150 and fibreglass 150-175. How fast are they getting out to the grounds
I want a boat that sails in the sea, not that it flies through the air ! , that it sails horizontally in cruising speed and the others (hull balance) and not vibrate, that also have a pleasant ride and find your flight at 2800 rpm, that it is also dry, and it is not has strong swinging when it is stopped. I want the combination of legendary hull performance, beautiful lines, and modern construction make.What ship is built like this?
I understand everyone has different taste and opinion... but God they all are so ugly... Why? I do have a budget to buy any of these, but can't bring myself to pay that much for a dinosaur design, even though their performance is great.
Love the Haines chillin in the background, I’d take that over the lot
Great work boys........ loved it. Couple = 2, few = 3.....just for Joel's benefit.
Great boats guys I would choose the Edencraft, but my dream boat is a Stabicraft 2100 supercab I’m saving up to get one.

Hard tops can get hot in summer plus you get better visibility for spotting rippling bait on the surface or birds than through glass

The edencraft is also based of a Yank design, the Formula 233!
@zakn3954 the edencraft in this is a haines V19 borrowed off the Bertram 19
On the 8th day god created shark cat 🙏🏻
Excellent ,thanks.
I would love to own any of these boats. have driven a 6m offshore heaps in previous work as an abalone deckhand so know what they are like.
with a honda 225 four stroke just amazing would love double engine but still amazing
I like the review. So which one is best for saltwater inlet and inter coastal water fishing ? Do any of these have sleeping cabin area ?
yeah i have the edencraft amazing never selling it never.
Could you use these boats in the Great Lakes of Canada?
Yer man.
why do australian always make boat smaller and usa always make boat bigger ? do really a good hull & design even its small is better than bigger boat ? coz i tot bigger is always better even the hull is not gud as australian hull.

Chris Stapleton very fast.
i have a haines signature 600br (fibreglass) with a 200 2 stroke mariner but I'm pretty sure its rated for 225-250
Where is this? I wish we had this style boat in the east coast of United States
Matt Gelsomino Eden NSW Australia. Near the border of NSW and Victoria.
