Thank you for a video that includes audio. I have been searching for a video with actual sound for longer than I should have had to. Big bonus that you are also in the PNW :)
A kiwi here , just love those boats , you feel so safe and secure , you know you`re going to arrive safely every time . The boat`s built like a brick shithouse , gives you heaps of confidence .
Nice video once you got to a clear view! Thanks for keeping real sounds and not adding music! Glad to see you're using your boat year round and in all conditions! We live in the north sound and know it can get rough at times! Stay safe and keep making videos like this! Following seas do take some getting use to and make ya pay attention!
Thanks George. I've experimented with background music and I've never liked the way it's turned out for these videos. Instead of trying to use clever music and sounds I've focused on trying better editing, better sound quality, and multiple cameras.
Real life boating keep those rough water videos coming mate, we are ordering a Stabi for where we live in Australia. Our bay is notoriously unpredictable.
Thank you Steven! We deal with the unpredictability here too. The water you go out in may not be the waters you come back in! So it's great having a boat you feel safe in regardless the conditions!
The wet on these boats is often just the wind driven water up by the bow and then pushed aboard. Dead down wind is pretty dry. I ran one of these at Doc Warner's in Alaska, open model and we ran full throttle into waves that would stop every other boat I have ever been on in such rough water. Motor was a 90ho Yammie, never a missed beat and fuel use was reasonable. Doc runs the 2050's now, a bit more room. I would buy one the Stabicraft in a heartbeat. Bob Jarrard
Yep, only time I take on much water is maneuvering around in reverse trying to position to snag a pot when I'm out alone. That's in pretty low waves too. I do feel safe knowing the thing won't sink instantly if I swamp it.
I've got a rib and it's brilliant fun in a following sea as well. Maybe because it's also got very good lateral stability. I haven't stuffed it, come close a couple of times.
Having a 20’ as well I can tell you the video doesn’t do those waves justice. Nice job. Hoping to upgrade the alumaweld to the 2250 WT soon or at least I dream about it.
Boat Country let me check out 2250 centercab, it was really nice, I haven't had the chance to see a walkthrough yet. I'm hoping someday to step up to the 2750. My dream Stabi would be the 2750 with a walkthrough and an enclosed wet bath/head as well.
@@StabicraftontheSound that 2750 would be awesome. I need something smaller so I can pull it out of the water on the island. Don’t like having our boat on the mooring during the winter storms.
Yeah, I'm just watching your intro video! Pretty impressive setup you have! I see what you mean about needing to be able to pull it in for winter storms. Ever see the Stabicraft video with the wheels on the boat that let you drive it up on the shore? :D Might be a sweet set up for a situation like yours. Seriously, love what you're doing up there. Subscribing now! Here's the Stabi on wheels: czcams.com/video/nlO7bxeC9Tg/video.html
@@StabicraftontheSound ha that’s crazy. We’ve got a small tractor and just brought a Jeep Wrangler over last week. So I can pull up a 22’. 27 would be a little tougher. 😂
Yeah, just watched the delivery! Looked like quite the adventure when they caught the anchor line. Hope nothing got damaged, but that is a plus of having aluminum over fiberglass. Love the Jeep! I've had several and the TJ's have become my favorites. If you ever find yourself in the Seattle area look me up if you'd like to go do some crabbing or fishing.
@@StabicraftontheSound Hey bud. I'm sorry I missed you response and just now getting back to you. Yes all good. Thank you. How are you doing? I haven't seen any more videos for a while now.
@@jejoko I am not far from galveston. Any chance you got a stabicraft yet? I am seriously looking at the 1850 and the 2050 and would love to check one out in person. Trying to decide between the supercab and the fisher models.
@@matthewdickson2627 Hi Matthew. Yes I still do have the Stabicraft. Best boat we have owned and fished out of. It's paid off and the only reason we would sell it would be to upgrade to the SC2250. I wouldn't mind showing you my boat and maybe even going out, but we have recently moved from Texas to the West Palm Beach area here in Florida. (There are only two in the state of Florida, ours and an other yellow SC2500 in Tampa). The boat gets a lot of attention here. Surprisingly some people know about Stabicraft here (some tell me what are you doing here, go back to Australia or Alaska 😅 idiots....) they don't really appreciate what a Stabicraft has to offer. It seems to be all about fancy fiberglass center consoles here and big expensive character boats. I've come to call our boat The Little Giant, because when it's rough and the small 20 to 24 ft center consoles won't go out the inlet, we confidently go out on the Stabi and fish the same waters as the big charater boats and people are starting to take note. It is truly as small charter boat fishing machine. Plus our boat will never rot or delaminate. Solid 4x4 sea tank! If you are ever in the South Florida area let me know and I'll gladly take you fishing in The Little Giant 🙂
37 knot wind would sink any normal fishing boat on Lake Erie on the eastern basin. I know the camera doesn’t do waves respectable as to their size. I saw 37 knots and was looking for 10 fters. This boat looks like it ran pretty good in that water. Stayed nice and level front to back. Lake Erie is just a freak of nature. Over 2000 shipwrecks in that lake. Mostly due to wind and huge waves.
At full speed, the digital display shows about 3 mpg. If I run a slower pace, around 30ish MPH, it goes up to 5-6 MPG at best in smooth water. If it's really rough out, and I'm running slow, say 10-12 MPH max, it's around 7-9 MPG. This fall between summer and winter crabbing season I'll try and shoot a video showing the different speeds to MPG ration as reported in the electronics. Thanks for the comment, and stay tuned for video proof of my writen answers.
Wasn't that rough on the way out so we didn't film much. Give us time and we will have a video heading into heavy seas! Around here it could happy any weekend.
Love that you keep the sound on so we get the true sense

Awesome channel

Yes they do don't they! The main reason I chose one of these was to take my young kids out by myself.
Stabi's love a following sea! Running with the sea can make for a very busy skipper in the wrong boat. Thanks for posting!
Thank you @JonRamos ! It is an incredible feeling, must be partly why their called bar smashers.
Thank you for the video

An other great video! Can't wait to get over this bug and get out on the Stabi. Maybe even go offshore a bit out of Galveston.
How you and the wife feeling, getting over the Covid yet?

Out here winds and waves can vary by the hour. Especially in the winter months!

Normal melbourne fishing trip
I can imagine! I'd love to get back that way again someday and maybe go out fishing in the area when I am! Thanks for the comment.
How about aiming the camera
Through the clear side of the
Windshield.
Thanks for the comment @Bill Bertagnoli, we're starting to work with multiple cameras and locations. Hopefully our videos will steadily improve.
You are welcome. Great video!
How is fishing on it and deck room?
how is this compared to a whaler or arima? thanks nice boat
Thanks! I can't honestly compare it to either of those because I have no direct experience. Any other viewer have a Comparison for Ariel N?
Buy whaler
What’s the location on this video and dang that’s the boat I want
How do you think the Stabi 1850 supercab would handle this kind of water? I'm thinking about getting one of these for the Oregon Coast.
Hit the Seattle boat show. Prices are actually good. Going up 2ft to a 2050 might not cost as much as you think.
They are built for this
Tried and tested in the southern ocean 🤙🤙
Buy stabbing craft v1850 smal cabin cresctgese bit can haned 6vfeet to 9 foot waves

$80,000 boat and it only has one windshield wiper? 🤨
Yeah, doesn't make much sense does it. I've started Rain-X'ing the windshield and that seems to help quite a bit.
@@StabicraftontheSound I love those boats! To bad I can’t afford one. 😩. Have to stick with my 16 1/2 footer. 😂
Boat barely moves
Didn't want to post the head sea
Wasn't that rough on the way out so we didn't film much. Give us time and we will have a video heading into heavy seas! Around here it could happy any weekend.
They are an awesome boat in any sea.
I hate boat manufactures that always have these doctored videos. We need real life rough water..
