Fisher Boats

I am still researching tinnies and was wondering if there are any Fisher owners out there.

If so, could you provide a mini review?

The boat I am looking at is a 620 Maxi in a side console configuration with a 175-225 on the arse.

hey Ceph

Forget the tinnies.

Buy a 19" Trophy Centre console

There is a trophy cc forsale in the ads on this site

Much better than a tinnie

IMO

Don't like glass boats.

Ceph,

Have had a few runs in my mates 6m maxi. Absolutely awesome for all facets. Fitout is 100% fishable, finish is prettywell flawless and the boat's sea handling is fantastic.

My mates boat is on the fisher site "The Bald Eagles".

He bought the boat painted and motor fitted but did all electronics and flooring fit out himself.

I have had a lot of shelf runs in a few boats around this size (incl. Noble super Vees) and can confidently say this wins the ride stakes hands down.

My mate was also very happy with the guys at Fisher and the way they stuck to his costruction requests.

The big centre console is a big winner for functionallity and again I wouldnt change much in the design of the same.

I was interested to see you are thinking of getting a side console as most guys I know who have had same would never go back to a side console for lots of reasons mainly limitations on function and space restrictions when moving around the boat. But horses for courses I spose.

Anyway I love glass boats but if I ever was thinking aluminium, Fisher would be my first stop.

Cheers Marlin

Thanks Marlin. I am suitably impressed with Fisher and the way they comduct themselves. As for the boats, I have only heard good things.

Any further comment on the side console? I have been in a side console many times and I recking they are great and apart from that small space where the side console is, they are 360 degree access.

Ceph,

I hadnt been to the fisher site for a while, they certainly have some good things on the go!!!

I have owned a centre console (haines 445F) myself for 25yrs and love the fishability for chasing anything from marlin to mullet but always thought if I were going to a bigger boat I would probably opt for a centre or cuddy cab with a hardtop mainly for the for reason of comfort after having fished in bigger centre consoles and both bigger cuddies and centrecabs.

After having a few trips in the big centre console first chasing marlin (5 fish for the day) then snapper (0) then deepwater bottom bouncing & jigging (heap of kings 6-8kgs) and finally the day chasing spotties (10 reds & one spanish) I can attest that my mind set has changed and that this console/workstation is the most practicable and versatile set out I have seen on a trailerboat.

The final days fishing ended with a tide change halting the fish and we turned to run home into a 25-27knt SE breeze, YUK. Sitting on the big bench seat/esky we ran home at 27knts with the clears open , awesome.

Anyway I guess I'm just saying check their centre console workstation setup out in the 6.2.

Maybe eyeballing one or getting a days fishing in one might be the go, good excuse to get out

Cheers Again
