A fun day indeed. The Warrior 165 feels like a bigger boat than it is. As you can see we had perfect weather and seas so were were hardly asking much of it but ran through a few big wakes later in the day to give it a test, she handles superbly. This one has a 50hp Mariner Big Foot on the back, the pick up is quick and we were crusing at 18 knots. At full tilt she was doing 26 knots but then you start burning a little more fuel. With two of us on one side plus a big fish pulling she remained stable. It's easy to tow, easy to launch and to recover. I own a smaller Orkney 440, a great little boat but now I want a Warrior 165, it's in a different league. All the best
Fantastic vids. Well done! We truly liked it.
Thanks. Looks like you're living the dream. You must visit some great fishing destinations!
Looked a good fun day out, how do you rate the warrior ?
