How long do you put it the broiler ? Please

Are you still running your Minn Kota? I just wonder if you have considered replacing it with a Garmin Force Kraken. They have a model designed for deep-vee/high-freeboard boats.

I'm looking at a stabicraft if you have the time I would like the name of someone about a boat

I did a bunch of helium leak testing on this platform like 15 or 20 years ago when working for the Weatherford guys out of Lafayette and Texas. <---Ryan fellas......Hope you torquers don't still hate me for finding leaks.....y'all were good people......I bunked on the DMT Diamond off shift. Think I was the only smoker out there who had cigarettes.......I mean gave cigarettes.

Glad to see you guys got those nice bung holes.

Could you share a link for the mold?

Real BAD Gaffs,,,,

Just came across review. THere are some good points-however, really nit-picky on the issues dealing with appearances. You are using the vessel as a work vessel. IT's not a show boat. Thus, why did you get all the wedding cake details? Give me a break. A work boat is utilitarian. So expect scratches and damage after 400 hours.

Great video! Where did you buy your stabicraft? Is there a local dealer for southeast? Thanks

Your wife is a badass if she got both those huge tuna in solo! I don't know if I could do that

I've been obsessed with stabicraft for the last few years or so and I also live in the Tampa Bay area, but after watching many, many videos on ownership and from Stabicraft themselves, I am of the opinion now that they are not the best choice for Florida and that opinion is reinforced after watching this video! Just the way the paint's coming off and all the things that are peeling off because of the Florida heat, and the way that the aluminum conducts the heat and melts the ice like that all would drive me absolutely nuts if I bought one of these boats knowing that fiberglass acts as a beautiful insulator in hot waters, and not to mention the long-distance service that's sketchy as hell! There's definitely some positives compared to the typical fiberglass center console a Florida waters but not nearly enough in my opinion to justify those negatives. These are cold water boats meant for places with rocky bottoms and harsh Winters. Definitely not ready for prime time in Florida. I'd much rather have a Sea Hunt or a sea pro!

How is the aluminum deck in the Florida sun, does it get hot or can you walk on it with bare feet?

Thanks for the great review! I am on the other side of the gulf in Texas. Looking at the 1850 fisher and supercab. Trying to make sure it vents well in the heat. Your video is the first I have seen that addresses it, thank you! Any thoughts between the two models ? Also, where did you get the boat catch in Texas ?

Thanks for the video, I was looking into trim tabs and then discovered Zipwakes, I ordered the same kit as you did with the 300S interceptors, and was looking for others who have installed them on a Stabicraft. I will be installing them on my 2023 Stabicraft 2050, which is a lot smaller than your boat so hopefully they work as well on my boat as you experienced on yours. Interesting to see how you had them fitted, adding the the bracket to get them flush with the bottom of the hull, on my 2050 the bracket that's installed there doesn't go all the way down, it is about 3/8" above the hull, so I may need to have a flat plate added or figure out how to fill that area so the bottom of the trim tabs mount inline with the hull. I really appreciate that you showed that in your video as that was the one question I needed answered.

That was a really good presentation, guys. Thanks.

How much is that boat?

I have a 112 thrust 72in Minkota Ultera. I had to upgrade my batteries to 100ahr deep cycle. All voltage problems went away. I fish off shore SC typically 8-9 hour trips 21 foot fiberglass boat spot locking on variety of reefs and wrecks. No more problems. Check the amp hours (AHR) of your current batteries

I am slightly below you in Bradenton/Sarasota and have been looking at Stabicraft. I like the review. Don't like how the wife keeps interrupting you. I have tried doing UA-cam vids with my wife and she does the same thing....

What are those straps you used to secure in the truck? Can you send a link?

Wow! As another poster has already said, a REAL review. These are so rare and so valuable. Love your one line summary at the end. It is one I often use - If I had it to do over again, would I do the same thing? It's the best barometer of all. On another note, I am interested to see that you have had so much trouble with your Minnkota. I have a very similar model (maybe identical). Never had a problem. And that includes perhaps half a dozen other Minnkotas before this one. I have used a couple of them often in salt water without a problem. Sorry to hear yours didn't treat you so well.

I bought refurbished Ulterra 2017, using every weekend trolling for hours, hit shoals- shaft didn’t even crack, original belt etc, not a single problem. You got a lemon

Rhodan trolling motor is the way to go. I've had mine for 2 years and ZERO issues! Plus they're made in Sarasota, FL.

How much beer should I bring per person? 8-10-12? I think at least 12 right?

to be honest, stabicraft is not good at all, because of the hull design, it could not cut through the wave, it just bang on the wave, i have a 2150 and i sold it

I'm an Aussie massive offshore boater, and I have to give it to the Kiwi's - they SERIOUSLY know how to build outstanding offshore bombproof boats. Stabicraft are exceptional. Yep they are expensive, however you get what you pay for, and Stabi offer serious "peace of mind"....

I would like to fish there.

Great review. I've been really interested in this boat. As for Minn Kota, I've got a pair of them. One for my Jon Boat and one for my bass boat. They've both broken down multiple times. Motor Guide has been more reliable for me.

Buy some kflex neoprene mats

Man I am excited to walk through one in person. I live in Florida and travel all the time. I would love to try and link up and see yours since it's close.

Thank you! great boat!

Sorry if I missed it in an earlier post, but how did you obtain a Stabicraft in Florida? I'd love to get a hold of a 1450/1550 Explorer, but Oregon seems to be the closest dealer.

Did you have any problems with the seat not being fastened in the front? Did it lift when pedaling if you weren't holding onto the sides?

Love your boat and your honesty.

How many traps can you have if you have a commercial license?

Interesting that most of the issues you were having come down to the fact that you are using a boat in the tropics that is designed and built at the very bottom of New Zealand - last stop before Antarctica! I'm sure now the guys from Stabicraft are exporting these to the likes of Florida they will probably rectify some of the issues you are having. A lot of the Ali boat builders here in NZ are now vinyl wrapping their boats instead of painting.

I follow this company, I had no clue 1 made it here..

Just bought a VH BlueFin. Where did you paddle in this video? Thx

Well done. Thank you

Yessss more videos. You guys are the best

Yum!!! Great recipe Megan. Thank you!😊

outstanding!

Where is the written recipe with ingredients and measurements for recipe

Another plus for an all aluminum boat, it serves as a safety faraday cage during a thunderstorm. ⛈🎣

Just passed you on I 75 north of Bradenton. Heading north. Nice boat.

I find a 36V 72" 112lb minn kota is not always able to hold a 6.35M 1300kg (hull weight) fiberglass boat with a single Yammie 200. I recently checked out a Stabi 2750 at a local dealer, it's huge. I am surprised minn kota support their motors to be fitted to a boat this size. If you have some lithiums with BSM with bluetooth you can monitor the current draw. Alternatively you can put a shunt and monitor the current. On a boat your size with twin engines it maybe a better bet to use the helmaster with the position hold features. This does put more hours on the engines but your using them a load anyway. It will also remove your docking issue. But clearly running engines is a problem when diving. However it maybe you can use a remote kill switch such as a Fell marine. If one of you wears a remote kill switch and enters the water first, engines on with wrist band active. The engines should stop. If the 2nd person restarts the engines and engages position hold not wearing a kill switch and then dives over the side. When you surface the person wearing the kill switch can remote stop the engines to facilitate climbing back up the rear ladder. Worth chatting to Yamaha and Fell since I am sure it is a problem many would like solved.

For killing tuna, do Ike jime, its better

This is why aluminum is no bueno. Just the heat/cold is terrible. I'm from Philly and have gone through a ton of boats in my life. It gets 100 in summer and in the teens in winter. There is a reason fiberglass dominates the market. Plus the amount of repairs with paint. When the paint starts to chip, which it always will, it looks terrible.

Great if you have almost a million dollars to spend on a bpat!!!!!!!

How does it go out through Haulovet on a bad day?

nice paint curing- coating heating method...! i am working on using a electro-air compressor system to powdercoat hand cast slugs, just to see if performance is much different, Nice informative lure making content! cool!
