Hey Ollie, we’re proud to have collaborated with you to build you a weapon of a boat that will fuel your adventures. While we don’t agree that the Roswell sound system is the best feature on the boat (haha), if you have no luck catching any fish at least you can practice your dance moves 😉

Cheers guys! Plenty of Dance practice already, just not ready to make the cut for KZfaq 😅

Ive just brought my dream ute after years of searching 2015 lux. This is hands down my dream boat. Couple more years and I’ll be a very proud HB raised owner. Anyways… Tent idea: If the tent could be telescopic, during a hot day used as a shade sail, also adding another upside down U pole a meter down from where the other one is would be perfect to keep feet dry while sleeping, and still enough room to fish out the back on a wet day. Also if you could add an internal lip to the floor, sitting on the inside of the tent so water cant run back in, maybe its not needed due to the angle of the boat idk. I cant wait to tinker away with my own! One day hopefully sooner rather than later!! Cheers Ollie!

Perfect setup Oli, but guaranteed 100k plus. I wanted one but realized out of my price range. Came across Andrew Hill a jetski guru fisherman. I ended up buying a ski and pimping it out for fishing and diving for a third of the cost. All the best on the water bro, stay safe and love your new set up. Can't wait for all the new adventures.

Hope it ain't gonna be for an arm and a legs worth. Or I'll have to consult with the boss who's also my bank manager 🤔 But Ssshhh.... you never heard it from me okay..?? It's the misses. 😝😂😭🤣

As for the tent, maybe if you use the outside shell that you have there as a "fly" and then have and inner piece that has clips to hang off the poles on the inside and allow a sealed space for no mozzies ect? Might help with moisture on the inside of the tent ect

I loved the tent mode setup! The only suggestion I have for now is the citronella essential oil to get rid of mosquitoes... I use it on my hat and clothes and on my hammock when I'm camping on the southern west coast. You have to recharge two or three times in a day, but it works great, and it is natural stuff.

Would one of the new Jimnys tow one alright you reckon?? I know you have kicked about and towed a boat in one before... Wondering if its a combo that can work

@olliecraig-primalpursuit 2 ай бұрын

That Jimny I had struggled even on hills with the irb setup. Hence why I moved on from that, but having said that, it would be fine on flats and stuff, it’s just big hill ranges where you struggle. I guess it depends on how often and where you need to tow etc. the jimmy’s are very cool and bloody epic off-road but you would prob be better just owning a cheap shitty old Subaru wagon or something like I had which towed this fine. Really would want a 2l engine I reckon

Hi there, Yes, you do have Senator Boats now in Australia. See Senator Boats website for the list of dealerships. Both Great boats. There are reasons why I chose Senator over Stabi but won't go into details here. Lot's of reviews and forums online discussing the pro's and con's which would help you make up your mind. Cheers!

Does Stabi craft not mind being cloned?

@senatorboatsnz 2 ай бұрын

We have been around since 1996 and have developed our chamber boat design completely independently and very differently to Stabicraft. You will note that our hardtop boats have fully sealed chambers to the top of the gunwhales and variable deadrise hull design. We were the first chamber boat maker to follow this design path.

I don't get it. An open (wet) boat with a tent? Most 5.5 m boats have a cabin with bunks. Are those too small or something?

@olliecraig-primalpursuit 2 ай бұрын

Not sure what you don't get. A cuddy vis an open boat is quite a different boat and both have their pros and cons. I prefer an open boat. more deck space for one. it's only a 5.2m boat also.
