After years of good service and countless successful fishing adventures on our Stabicraft 659 we decided that we needed a bigger boat to accommodate all the camera equipment, people and gear required when filming the show (plus it's always nice to get a bigger boat). The choice of boat was easy. Stabicraft boats offer us the stability and sea worthiness we require when fishing and filming in New Zealand conditions. That decided, size was the next decision we needed to make.
We have now moved up a size to the 759 Stabicraft. After years of trailer boat fishing and working on big game fishing vessels Matt had plenty of ideas for the boats layout to best utilise the space and make it a practical and comfortable fishing boat. The design team at Stabicraft worked hard to incorporate the fishing features into the boat and they are now available to anyone who wants to set up a Stabicraft as a mean fishing machine.
