Tested | StabiCraft 1850 Fisher with Yamaha F115 4-stroke

The Stabicraft 1850 Fisher is an uber-safe, simple boat that beginner boaters will be able to use in open water with ease. New Zealand built, they're designed for conditions harsher than you'll be game to use them in.

Great design. I would suggest--just me. The safety orange color I have seen and a dual axle trailer. Yes, I know it is not that heavy, but it is safer to use a dual axle trailer, if you have a flat at speed--and you will at some point, it is great to have the second tire as safety support. AND, it carries the load easier, so if you camp and load your boat up with "stuff" it can more easily handle it. Just better, IMO. PS And listen up, NEVER get an aluminum of any kind that is....Silver. The sun will bounce off the deck and put your eyes out--get one of these boats? Sure, but damn it, get one that is painted a color--any color, other than silver, though I would recommend safety orange and be damn sure the deck doesn't post out with that silly silver, put your eyes out color.

Solid little boats! I own a 1850 supercab, safest boat I’ve ever been in. Little big boat! The battery location is awesome, off the floor and away and sealed from the water!!!!! I have the evinrude g2 150 on the back and it’s a beast!

Hello Adrian, Maybe you could help me out. I'm deciding between a 1850 that could fit in my garage or and 2050 that I would have to store elsewhere. In your opinion, owning a 1850, are there any major differences between the two except for the obvious hard top cabin on the 2050 (which is why it won't fit in my garage) How is the bellow bow area in your 1850, is it sufficient to get out of the sun for a while? Will it sleep two people? Thank you for your help!

Incredibly ugly no way could I have 1 of those

This boat screams " LET'S GO FISHING !! " Love Stabicraft....

[@gregspark1060]

Goes on about how stable the boat is, but then doesn't bother to demonstrate that on the review. How hard could it be to show two people standing on one side of the boat then moving around.

[@atmm89]

how about showing the boat, not in calm seas but on a rough day, if it is designed for harsh conditions, lets see it

[@svrider2006s]

Goof balls...I’ve never known anyone to say stay-bility. I thought it was stable, stability but whatever floats your boat

Are these not good boats?

@@jejoko Been in Profile, Ocean Cylinder and the Stabi 2100. Not as good as profile or the current ocean cylinder, not sure about seadex. Just seem to be making them cheap these days.

Honest question here. Why is it so hilarious? Are they not good boats?

[@bulletben5837]

@@jejoko honest answer here, I've never been in one. I just had a good chuckle about the " boats for conditions you won't be game to fish in" bit.
