The Captain's Alloy Shootout: Bar Crusher 670HT

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

Great video and great boat!! love the extra creature comforts the bar crusher offers.

[@jmatasomo2660]

Its a caravan ,Surtees is "built for fishing".

[@dpd6401]

Nice video as usual guys. I would love to spend a day with any of these guys and their boats and vice a versa.

[@MatthewRizzi]

You make awesome videos

[@jmatasomo2660]

NICE boat for water caravanning . If fishing is your deal then the better riding ,sea handling and roomier Surtees is the go. Been in both boats and do so before you spend all that loot.

[@vaskodimoski5690]

How does the surtees ride better when the hull is identical can you please explain?

[@SamDavis-d3v]

@@vaskodimoski5690 not quite identical surtees use 6 mil and barcrusher 5 and i think that makes the ride quiter. the ride is the same but surtees quieter because of the plates. both are perhaps the best alloy riding boats along with stabi craft

[@jarodbetts4415]

Hey mate could you do some research or check out the razerline and redline boats any thing above 7.5 metered

I would have the crusher especially the HMS 780HT Destroyer. That would go anywhere!

[@Tradesatwork]

@@wonderplatypusgetthedog8634 18 months ago I ended up buying a 780ht with 300 yammy. So well built, smooth ride in shit conditions and wot 40 knts, it's much better than I thought it would be.

[@jarodbetts4415]

And let us know if they are any good or not

[@markheath9172]

Interesting the comments on space - I think bar crusher quote their boats on LOA instead of waterline like most manufacturers so you get a smaller boat - so their 6.7m is about the same size as others 6m. Not much width in the one I inspected either only about 2.3m wide where others are around 2.5m

[@jmatasomo2660]

More fishing room in 670 BC than any same size glass boat ive had or been on and easier to handle.

[@jmatasomo2660]

Haines Hunter measure the same way .

[@calvinlim2615]

re brand surtee???

[@jeffstryker1454]

I’m thinking about getting this or Stabicraft what’s better?

[@oldburjo272]

Jeff Stryker bar crusher all the way

Bar crusher aka surtees imitation 😂

All spines were harmed in the filming of these tinnies.

[@jmatasomo2660]

I did not see them using them in decent seas, so their backs should still be fine ? Every boat i have owned (74 in total) is a bitch in a large head sea!!Surtees do kick arse though , especially when every factor like towing , sea ability and ease of use and maintenance are all factored in~!

[@sadenuttie2234]

@@jmatasomo2660 yeah right. You have owned 74 boats, name them

[@jmatasomo2660]

BAR CRUSHER WINS ALL DAY LONG

[@jmatasomo2660]

Do not agree ,as the 650 Game fisher i looked at to compare was far superior .Starting with the following , superbly built with European 5083 Alloy plate unlike the Chinese5083 Barcrusher uses (THIS ALONE IS A GAME CHANGER) Fully welded stringers in Surtees unlike Barcrushers stitch welded stringers results in the superior ride seen in these vids. Boarding ladder is FAR better built designed and functional on the surtees. Modern and functional transom is far superior to the dated transom Barcrusher copied from Surtees and still uses . No nonsense hardtop with superior visibility , looks the goods as well. Fuel filler located on transom not in cabin floor. 250 LITRE fuel standard. Manual ballast shut off for reliability and less electrics to go wrong. Bait station is A far better design , more functional and less of a hassle like the one on the BC. No gunnel uprights inside to stub your to on. Surtees beam is wider than BC in the 650/670 series and wiring is IMO neater and on par or better. Cheers

@h3nz13 You obviously have not had many boats or tunnel vision has set in ? Really facts and data tell the tale of the tape not dreams sadly , have a great day!
