Here’s a selection good and not so good from people who have tried our 170 demonstrator recently…..
Sea trials off Carrickfergus
“Nothing fazes her at all”
“Brilliant boat, really stable, but it would scare me going that fast!“
“Amazing finish for a fishing boat..”
“Not enough beer holders!”
“Bit pricey, but what a boat!”
” XXXXing awesome, never ever have I been out in a fishing boat like that”
“I’d like more storage”

Which engine to choose
The engine represents a large portion of any trail boat package often 50% or more so it is worth considering the engine options and not just on the basis of price!
To start with in my opinion and experience there are no bad engines in the <150 hp category if you stick to the accepted brands, but in certain areas and I say this only from what I’ve been told, some dealers can be ‘indifferent’ to their customers needs.
So it’s worth finding out which dealer in your area is recommended, gives good reliable service and on time. Some engine dealers are working with waiting times of weeks.
Without doubt a good local dealer is worth every penny, so give strong consideration to the brands that he represents.
One dealer had infact told our customer that he wouldn’t consider a warranty claim since he didn’t supply the engine! Which is total nonsense, and foolish on his part because he gets paid by the manufacturer.
As builders we supply engines on an OEM basis (original equipment manufacturers) and all our engines are UK spec. and registered at the relevant manufacturers so all warranties etc are valid.
Weight:
One major factor you must consider is the engine weight. Read the rest of this entry »

Fishing the Norh Channel
Nord Fisher 150 18 Months on
I wanted a good all round boat to get me out fishing around the coast, looked at new / second hand but could not find anything I liked. Then in early November 2007 I found a web site advertising the Nord Fisher 150, looked at the build pictures showed what looked like a solid and well designed little boat which turned out to be “exactly what it said on the tin“.
I contacted the Builder and visited his work shop and that’s when I met the designer and builder Phil, within minutes I could tell that he was dedicated to Boating in general, after looking at one of his boats under construction I placed an order. The delivery date set for 24 Dec 08 what a Christmas present I was like a child waiting for his new Bike from Santa. Read the rest of this entry »
