Good review, Laurie. Those changes are the exact things I don't like about my older model, especially the small hatch. The new bow design should be quieter running too, eh?

Looks good loz. May have to look at adding to the fleet

Great review. Just wondering whether the new profish 400 rides better than the old one in normal calm conditions say on a lake without waves or does the pronounced flare in the bow impede it?
@yakfishfun84417 ай бұрын
I haven’t spent enough time on the old 400 to comment but the new bow doesn’t impede it at all in flat conditions 👍

Looking at the Viking website, prices have lifted in the last week.

I made the battery housing myself, if you watch the end of the “Surfs Up” vid you will see that in more detail 👍

i see you prefer the insulated chill bag as opposed to the chill pod. What's your thoughts on this mate ? I have been considering this option
@yakfishfun84418 ай бұрын
Corey I prefer to use a cover, for me it’s about reducing weight and the impact of wind. It’s also easier when I’m using a floating measure board. Potential negative is fish juices flow out the scuppers (sharks 😂).

Hi, what do you mean by it will save you a lot of time if you wire the transducer through the hull instead of the tackle pod? Thanks.

Hey mate I just got the new 400 and the new tacklepod i got with it doesnt fit properly does yours sit properly and go over the lip front and back?
@yakfishfun84418 ай бұрын
That’s strange, mine fits perfectly. Is it the transducer that’s causing it not to fit snug?

Would you say the new 400 is more stable than the GT ? ,the 400 is the only one with 10/10 stability rating , but no rating for the rest of the models. Also is it much faster than the GT. Can you stand on the new 400 ?
@yakfishfun84413 ай бұрын
Brett, the 400 is faster and easier to paddle than the GT. I wouldn’t read to much into the stability ratings, both the GT and Espri are very stable on calm days but that changes with wind because of their higher profiles. In my view the 400 feels the most stable and it’s easy to stand up on. In order of stability I’d rate the 400 highest, followed by the Reload, GT then Espri.

Wonder what a gt weighs?
@yakfishfun84418 ай бұрын
GT should be similar to the 400, except the GT prefers a bit of weigh in the backend and from past experience performs better with a Chillpod.
