Formosa tomahawk 580 Centre cab

[darynxbcoupe]

Hi All this is my first thread on this forum

I have just been doing lots of research on the new tomahawk boats, look great boats and very well priced. I have talk to a couple of boat owners who have had all good things to say about them, so I have purchased one last week.

has anyone else out there got this model and are you happy with it?

Hi,

I don't have that one but have a 550 tomahawk half cab. I have been really happy with it, feels safe and lots of room. I looked at the centre can but wanted the extra covered space and room at the back.

I like the look of the Tomahawk. Mate of mine has one and swears by it, he goes way out in it and never any worries.

Thanks all for your comments, I am yet to find anyone with bad feed back about these boats. I am getting a 115 Yamaha 4 stroke do you think this will reach 35 knots ??

Does anyone no what sort of speed the 580 tomahawk should reach with standard prop on the 115 Yamaha 4 stroke ?? I have been told from my friends that it sounds under powered, has anyone got this set up or something similar?

hi mate i own a 5.8 tomahawk centre console with a 135 honda.great boat personally i would not put a 115 on as with all your gear and fuel the boat gets heavy.mine does 30kn but is under propped.these boats are not fast hulls.

Thanks for the info xfishx

How does your boat go in the chop? does it have a soft ride?

[xfishx]

goes great,

i have had mine in some big seas and it handles well. does get a bit wet but mines a centre console.

I think the ride is good not as soft as some other plate boats but it has a lot wider bow.i think you'll love the boat.

I bought mine as a hull only and had to wait 6 months before water test.lots of stress,but everything went well.
