Polycraft 300 TUFFY - A YEAR ON REVIEW UK

Polycraft 300 Tuffy has been my chosen small boat of choice now for over a year. This video I will do a complete review on the 300 Tuffy and reveal what my thoughts are about the boat. Polycraft are still quite new to the UK market and I believe they offer a superb product for individuals like myself who want a small and versatile little boat. I have been out in enough weather conditions and different scenarios to really put it through its paces.
I hope this review video and talk through will be useful and as always if you have any questions please feel free to ask whether it's on KZbin or facebook messenger.
kind regards

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.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

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,

[@davidthompson5710]

Saw one of these at a boat show recently. Absolute tanks.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

They certainly are for the size of them!

[@fishingwithtednfamily]

Awesome review 👍 I really liked it from the first video, glad its still doing the business.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

I wouldn’t be without it now, transformed where I can fish for sure!

[@danbear1972]

Hi Jake. Great Vid , glad you are still enjoying it. Well we finally ordered our tuffy, managed to get the Apple Green one. Should be here in January. Looking forward to getting out on it. Just need to sell the sib now😊. Keep up the great fishing. Cheers Dan

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Amazing! Spectacular colour that I must say! I’m not jealous at all 👀 look forward to hearing your reports and if you ever want to get out give me a shout!

[@TuffyLife]

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.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

They are superb little capable boats arnt they! My dogs were happy with their fish last night! Can’t wait for the weather to improve to get out again soon!

[@user-fq7lq3lw7c]

Excellent little craft

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

It really is! I will do anything and everything in this boat!

[@kjefferyfishing-12]

Another great vid jake keep up the good work mate👍they do look good wee boats, there was a few ft of chop that day we were out in the bay round by the sailing club and the boat just powered through it💪🎣whereas me on the kayak it was a bit of a battle lol😜🎣🎣

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Great all round boat for launching anywhere I think! It was ok that day but yes it got a bit choppy didn’t it! Hard fishing though 😂 barely any bites!

[@kjefferyfishing-12]

@@MuscleFishingOfficial aye it was a bit choppy towards the end of the session, and it was definitely not good fishing lol only caught one tiny whiting and a cold😂it’s a cracking boat though it handled it perfectly👍🎣🎣

[@harryoakes6036]

Great vid mate, was only the other day at the den we spoke about the boat, would love to come out one time 😁 break my boat V 🤪

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

We just need some nice weather now mate! In the spring/summer give me a shout and see if we can organise something. The winter you need a drysuit to be safe really.

[@sizablejibber1]

Great info 👍 going to treat myself to one in the spring can't wait 😁 . 🛥️🛥️🛥️

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

You won’t regret it! I absolutely love mine and won’t need anything else for the foreseeable!

[@TuffyLife]

I wish I'd bought mine sooner! It was a life long dream to own a boat and, thanks to @MuscleFishingOfficial and P&D Boats, I bought the right boat for me. I LOVE it!

[@gregeberhardt1711]

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!

[@markwalters8745]

Very tempted to change from my sib but waiting until i can see one locally and have a trial run before i jump in

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Where are you based? I might be able to arrange something. Kind regards

[@markwalters8745]

@@MuscleFishingOfficial I'm near Cardiff,Jake.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

@@markwalters8745 Cambrian boats in Swansea has them and may be able to help you out. I fished with my boat in the Bristol Channel and had a great time!

[@markwalters8745]

@MuscleFishingOfficial i have seen that Cambrian stock them, I'd like an actual sea trial though before i make the switch. We've got some good fishing on the bristol channel, i spend the summer in the clear waters of pembrokeshire and then back local in winter

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

@@markwalters8745 they may be able to arrange something possibility. There’s a few people in south wales with them. Hopefully you will cross paths. I love fishing up your way, such diversity and something for everyone, even from the shore!

[@lightonlarry]

A great endorsement for a super boat cheers👍 16:48

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Thank you! I love mine and couldn’t be without it now!

[@crisworledge4289]

Still very seriously considering this as an upgrade from kayak for better range

[@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!

[@crisworledge4289]

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]

@@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

[@crisworledge4289]

Perfect thanks for summarising so well much appreciated

[@dwaynejones8456]

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.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

Welcome to the channel. I highly doubt i will be able to help however let me pass this message on the uk suppliers and see what they say, perhaps it could be arranged for you.

[@Jimmyfisher121]

I never trust a company that refuses to tell you the price of their product up front went to their site and nothing not even good pictures of their craft.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

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.
