Thats a bloody fantastic effort mate very calm under pressure. 1st fish was just a bloody beast. Very interested in this boat as next upgrade from 1450. Looking forward to your review. Cheers
Great video and great way to christen the new boat. I would love to see an in-depth review of the 500 cuddy, I am currently looking at upgrading to the 500 CU or the 540 RC.
@@whitiangler9370 Hi Gene, thanks for the response. I am in Aus, so it's difficult to get a hands on look at the smaller Senator boats, I will keep an eye out for your review.
Amazing, thanks for sharing. Would love to see a bit about your rigs if that’s not sensitive info, if it is no worries. We have a few of these turning up down Kaikoura now so would love to give it a go. Cheers
Nice one Gene. Good advert for the little boats. What type of riggers you have there? Any mods needed for the rod holders they sit in? All four lines on them or just two?
Hi mate! Boat handled a bit of chop and slop no problems at all. It never got too rough, i picked my weather window well. On the last day it got up around 15 knots on way in. As per all aluminium boats around this size, the ride wasn't 10/10, but for what it was I was more than happy. The solidness and stability of this boat is its key factor. Just being totally honest. The larger Senator I have driven has an exceptional ride... (RH770)
@@whitiangler9370 I appreciate the honesty bro! A lot of guys I talk to who have ali boats are kind of hard core fans of their own respective brands so sometimes they talk up the ride quality 😂 I was thinking of saving up for the Senator 690 but I saw a couple of your tiktok videos on this boat and it caught my eye. So just doing my research atm
@@roymead1669 no problem mate, I like to be a transparent as possible with any product I use. Feel free to contact me if I can help any further. Cheers! Gene
