This year we upgraded our boat to the incredible new KingFisher 3025 GFX model. In this extended scene from Episode 2 of Season 6 Brendan heads to Parksville Boathouse to pick up his FULLY LOADED and decked out new boat.
This boat is the culmination of a lot of great sponsors and partnerships that have lasted since the very beginning of Reel West Coast. We spent all summer creating episodes, experiences and family memories on this aluminum boat and we could not be happier with how it performed.
In this video Brendan gets a walk through of the finished boat before heading out to do its initial water test including compass calibration, motor test and using the Auto Pilot.

Beautiful boat but most people couldn't afford the gas to run it let alone buy it.I'd like to see more affordable options for west coast fishing.Last time we went out from Alberni to a few miles off Cape Beal it was a 300.00 bill and we got gas for 1.70 at China Creek! And that's with a single 150 horse. Love your videos,kudos to the camera guy.

@@brianwalker5843 Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! Gas prices make everyone grit their teeth for sure. We try and think of it as fun per gallon but it's a burden on everyone. Thanks for the support and good luck this season!

One sweet ride for sure. More episodes for sure, enjoy watching your show. One question, why did you go with GFX model over the standard 30' ?

@ReelWestCoast Жыл бұрын

We wanted a heavier boat with a deeper hull. We heard great things about the GFX. The layout also has a couple minor differences with a big one being the sliding door in and out of the cuddy

Nice. What is the performance with the 200's (GPH at cruising). I thought I read on Simrad's website that their Autopilot has a feature like Garmin's (shadow drive) where you can turn the boat without disengaging the autopilot to avoid obstacles. Maybe Garmin's patent expired ? I had the opportunity to circumnavigate and fish the Haida Gwaii Islands 3 years ago like you did. How did you like going thru the Skidgate Channel. We almost hit a deer when we went thru. All of the lingcod we caught were over 40#. The salmon fishing was excellent at the west end of Skidgate. You should make the run from Port Hardy over to Haida Gwaii. The Sandspit marina is very good place to keep your boat and the lodge above the marina will process your catch for a modest fee. Looking forward to more videos.

We average a burn rate of approximately 7.5/8 mpg when cruising at 3800 RPM. Cruising speed at roughly 25-28mph. Yes, you can manually turn the wheel if necessary to avoid obstacles while under auto pilot. Circumventing Haida Gwaii must have been spectacular!!
