    Good honest review mate. I'm a big fan of small boats. Keeping at home, low maintenance and cheap running costs are big bonus for me. Thanks for the review.

      Thank you, I absolutely agree. Weather has been awful for 3 months and I have not paid a penny having it on the drive. Also going out to different places in the country keeps the cost down which is nice,

    Funny thing this. Noticed a new Muscle Fishing video and one dedicated to the Polycraft Tuffy 300 so I had to watch immediately. I just happened to be eating fish from the freezer that I caught on my Tuffy 300 this Summer. All round good feeling. Can't wait for some decent weather down here in Exmouth so I can get out again. Spring is WAY too far away.

    Ouch is a little expensive….only 2750 Aussie dollars and everything is as expensive AF over here atm…..I drive a jimny hence need a jimny sized boat. I think this is the one for me. Love your vids.

    • @MuscleFishingOfficial

      They are expensive here because of import, I think they are worth the price as costs to run are so low! Thanks for watching and hopefully more fishing videos on the little boat soon!

    • @MuscleFishingOfficial

      It’s certainly got me out further and in places i wouldn’t take the kayak! It’s just the right size this boat to manage on beaches which is why I love it!

      Could you do a pros and cons against more average fishing boats, you go out a fair bit on east living I know she’s a proper top end boat so hard to compare but full new tuffy set up is around 6k, can get a half decent boat for 8k second hand shopping around that’s the big tough decision for me be very interested in your thoughts as you use both a lot

    • @MuscleFishingOfficial
      @MuscleFishingOfficial  11 місяців тому

      @@crisworledge4289 well I can answer it here, I could afford both or either but only have the 1.
      Big boat pros
      - comfy
      - handle a bit more weather
      Big boat cons
      - costly to maintain, morning fees, servicing, more to go wrong
      - expensive to trailer and more awkward, fuel costs higher
      - need a slipway
      Poly pros compared to a bugger more luxury boat
      - launch anywhere
      - Cheap to maintain
      - cheap to trailer
      - handles the weather that you’d want to be out in
      - Good on fuel
      Poly cons
      - not as comfortable or big
      - launching you need some strength
      - handle slightly less weather
      For me it’s about getting the use. I want to use it as much as I can, as cheaply as I can. This boat does that. I know people who buy the boat and never use it because going out on a decent trip costs £80-100, I use max 12 litres of fuel.
      So basically for me at the moment in time I want to travel the country, trailer or easily, launch anywhere (not needing a slip) and have a boat that’s a bit different and can do all and more than a bigger boat. Just comes down to costs and I want to use it and abuse it really

    Hey brother I have been trying to get a polycraft tuffy 300 to Detroit Michigan in the United States. United States dealers that get them from the Australia factory direct are citing Shipping delays due to hijacks and the war that is going on is what I have been told for the last three months. Any dealers that can ship me one from the uk from the dealership instead. Just looking for alternatives as Fishing she opens up here in about two months.

      What website did you use? They are an Aussi company and the pictures for the UK boats have been taken throughout this year and next.
