As soon as the Surtees 650 Game Fisher was released I knew I just had to have one, it suited our style of boating and fishing to a tee and ticked all the boxes we wanted as a fishing team and a family weekender. We needed a boat over 6 m with a hard top that could be towed legally and safely by a 2WD car (as I could not afford a new car AND new boat) but also had a generous deck space, plenty of storage and a hard top to keep us protected from the fickle Southern Tasmania weather. We fish competition Game fishing often taking us out the continental shelf and beyond and in weather that can at times be quite unpredictable and can change in a heartbeat, The Surtees 650 is perfect for this as we have had quite a few trips where we have had to “batten down the hatches” and sneak home at a medium pace to make weigh ins and she has never let us down. In my early days I grew up on the parents boat and most school holidays were spent on the water, and I wanted to pass on this “lifestyle” to my son and the Surtees is a perfect fit for weekends away with kids (most of my mates have children now too) we have done some awesome trips, rafted up with other boats and enjoying “boating” to the point we once slept 4 grown (generous) men and 2 children one night yes there was not much room left but it can be done. Over all the Surtees 650 Game Fisher is THE PERFECT all-rounder for fishing, boating and camping, get into your closest dealer and check them out.
