Gosh, how I've missed watching you and team, Matt, being based Stateside now but contemplating the retirement back home, with this 1850 in the drive to take out whenever and wherever mother and I want to go. Thanks and keep up the great work! Hanging in there....

[@Selfsufficientme]

It's good to see another 1850 Fisher review for those of us who are seeking more info on buying one because apart from promo stuff there isn't much else online and you can't see one in the flesh here in Brisbane since the dealership has trouble getting a display model due to the recent boom in sales combined with the covid issues. Regardless, I still made my decision and expect delivery of my 1850 Fisher within the next few weeks. This will be my first boat (apart from our small 6hp tinny) and I'm very excited. Cheers 👍

[@jamiemitchell6322]

Wow nice choice mate, looking at Stabi craft too. Are you getting it fully optioned? 👌🏻

[@gabe5661]

Self Sufficient Me, cool seeing you here! Your channel is great. Gardening is the way!

[@phillipanderson9925]

Keen to see your review once received

[@Selfsufficientme]

@@jamiemitchell6322 yes mate Pro Fish Decided to get the works you only live once and can't take money with ya 😁👍

[@Selfsufficientme]

@@gabe5661 thanks mate! Keep an "eye" out for my new channel "Self Suffishing Me" coming soon😉👍

[@nuckenfuts2801]

Picking up the new 1850 end of this month. Can't wait..

[@thenakinavy]

Great having an entry level-ish review, love the high end reviews as well....but this one is more linked to reality. Would be good to see some more video of how it handles a bar, rough weather.

[@MrTibbs]

that sounds fully sick bruh

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

I've had the old evinrude 115 etec on my rib for the past 15 years. I've only had one issue, when the emm fried itself for no apparent reason. That was a grand to put right. But other than that, its been great. Really punchy v4 which is noisier than newer engines but sounds quite good, I think. I don't really measure my consumption, i just know when I open it up, it's a lot more thirsty. Just cruising along at 20 =25 knots it's really good on fuel though.....gives over 40 knots on m,y 5.5 m rib...lot of fun.

[@jbracing]

That's so nice love your boats they are the best

[@williamppnguyen8295]

I’m an evinrude fanboy I have a 2012 150hp etec. I was thinking of rpeowering to a 175g2. But there’s no going past how evinrude went out of business

[@UltimateFishingTV]

[@waltertx.6020]

Lordy, I want one here in Texas! Ya just can't beat that fuel sipper. At 115 hp it really flies! A 90 hp would be fine on her. I love the g2's, ETEC and Evinrude/BRP in general. I wonder if Mercury, or another manufacturer will buy BRP's great engineering and manufacturing??

[@ianmangham4570]

Beautiful

[@omarlara9657]

Estupenda embarcacion...😮

[@officialWWM]

I'll take it!

[@bowhunter69]

Awesome boat . My bro has older one .

[@vugarm1822]

nice boat for spearfishing

[@LetSeamru]

Evinrude are great motors. Owners went from Johnson to evinrude without hesitation. 4stroke like Merc and Yamaha are only to burn fuel. Sunday guys choose Evinrude to bring family on water for more Fun.

[@indikalglz]

Nice boat

[@glennvandenberg3912]

3 year service intervals. No oil changes aswell. Hope BRP keep this motor alive under another name.

[@waltertx.6020]

I sure hope some manufacturer picks up making the very same engine's!

[@coasttacos]

Looking at getting a 1550... What is max swell size? How are they in open ocean? Can standard circle crab pots fit okay? How many?

[@couchsquad9227]

I want one

[@chronicawareness9986]

if i win the lotto ill get some and bring them here to florida.

[@ME-qq2dc]

Thought they are ceasing production of the Evunrudes?

[@brendanfennell3552]

Which Outboard Manufacture will you eventually change to since Evinrude has since ceased production although BRP has a relationship with Mercury Marine to service Evinrude Engines for the Warranty for the next 10 years

[@joebradley7595]

Yamaha is my guess

[@gamerscockpit]

Great stuff and love the Stabicraft brand. Re Evinrude surely you have a duty to discuss the current brand status??

[@UltimateFishingTV]

Hey mate we have this note on the video. Evinrude G2's are still available with guaranteed ongoing service support, parts and warranty.

[@ShadowbannedbyYoutube]

I live in Illinois, I want one for Lake Michigan. I’m new to boats. Is this strong enough?

[@kalsaumesatungiamata9066]

Can Stabicraft built a aluminum proper center console with a loo ? What about the oil /fuel costs for this G2, 50hrs a tank of oil ?

[@jeffchaffee1235]

Very nice, I live in Central California where can I go and see this boat in person ?

[@antonywardle]

great review, but i can't see too many people wanting a G2 anymore. I love my ETEC

[@perfidiousalbion9975]

People must have wanted them because all the remaining big g2s in australia are sold out

[@atmm89]

I absolutely love this boat but that outboard has been banned in Australia I was told, what a shame

[@omieyouknowme]

Evinrude closed their doors may 2020 no more motors from them, 4 stroke sales speak for themselves

[@cosmicbrah8669]

54k where from?? is this a custom order from stabis website. These models on trade me are like 70k plus

[@johnkidd797]

So are you retrofitting evinrudes to your boats ?

[@atoboncos3347]

👍👍

[@thebushbrothers2417]

nice

[@kiwioutdoors3427]

Hasn’t evinrude shut down? We’ve got a 150 original on our boat but I read that evinrude was sold by brp and discontinued. Is this true?

[@UltimateFishingTV]

*Note: Evinrude G2's are still available with guaranteed on going service support, parts and warranty.

[@liamreder6918]

Why did you not get the hard top

[@reonpaterson8154]

Are the e tecs quiet?

[@T_157-40]

I like Evinrude but I do not see any reasonably close maintainence shop near me. I don’t want to drive a full day to get to a shop.

[@badrng1797]

Any chance of a 1450 review soon?

[@UltimateFishingTV]

Watch this space. 😉

[@ozbloke74]

How come they're so expensive in Australia

[@jjjjjjjjjjjj5t]

Is that NZ price or Aud

[@fenuapitaya8173]

what grade? 52, 83, 86?

[@mikewesty2864]

Out of interest Matt, was that Stabi's pricing direct or the RRP? Only because it's roughly $90-$115k to get one here in South Australia which really sucks after hearing you say mid $50k's. Like that's a HUGE difference.

[@UltimateFishingTV]

The price was correct at the time of filming (mid 2020), but with increases in aluminium, other materials and inflation it wont be a reflection of the current market.

[@jsjrspivey]

What speed?

[@JustinWorboysPhotography]

Hasn’t evinrude finished up ??

[@UltimateFishingTV]

*Note: Evinrude G2's are still available with guaranteed on going service support, parts and warranty.

[@henrysammut9104]

They may still be available but they are no longer in production?

[@abc123deadsoulja]

Evinrude Closed down for a good reason

[@luisalbertocortes1643]

🤙🏾🏆🏆🏆

[@thekdteam8741]

Talk about econocal friendly 2 strokes r made to.smoke

[@eliskamatachanamarchena3185]

cuanto vale por favor

[@caitlynmartin5969]

Why would you compare with a 6.5m boat? Must be expensive for a 5.7m.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Yep also less room even for it's size because the wide gunwhales and more triangular shape

[@chaomaosydney]

My dream boat but unable to afford..!

[@nnswfishing]

Just a shame because of the fact BRP bailed out of producing Evinrude outboards.

[@UltimateFishingTV]

*Note: Evinrude G2's are still available with guaranteed on going service support, parts and warranty.

[@carl3233]

put a suzuki 150 on it best warrenty in the buisiness period.

[@lachlanoneil8938]

The outboard sounds very economical if U r not lying but they are very unreliable and that's why no commercial boats use them unless sponsored

[@dzmalekvali1110]

Can you sponsor me in Oman

[@manadokayakfishing2736]

Hi.......awesome boat......how the price?

[@fullclip_nz]

The welds on a brand new factory floor hardtop version I looked at were absolute rubbish, also i'm 6ft1 and had almost no clearance from the front of my forehead to the windscreen, in rough seas you would smash your face in, not sure if the cuddy is the same.. plenty of alloy boat builders in NZ, plenty of which are better at customizing a new build, like anything pays to shop around

[@omieyouknowme]

Welds really that bad?

[@fullclip_nz]

@@omieyouknowme yes looked very patchy, best to inspect each boat on its own merits though

[@carl3233]

it is cheaper to charter.

[@mdv2043]

Nice boat. Too bad Evinrude went belly up and closed their doors...yamahas are to squirrely when it comes parts and service. Gonna be a fresh set of suzkis on my next boat.

[@AquaMarine1000]

Stop talking about Evinrude BRP has canned them.

[@vickyesvaran8309]

2750 is more awesome

[@waltertx.6020]

Sometimes bigger is better 😜

[@henrywoolcock5216]

Only 70 grand

[@atoboncos3347]

🙏☕🔙

[@gumwah]

Sorry Matt Watson, couldnt watch all of it. This Evinrude info-mercial is a joke. Are they going to keep paying you, till they move the last of their stock??? Yep, these motors are the best, that's why they are no longer being built.

[@chronicawareness9986]

the whole video is a infomercial technically

[@stevetipene3319]

LOL your speedo/fuel gauges are telling us 1 thing and your pakaru maths is telling us something else

[@deancollins3713]

77k WTF for a coke can, Come on man!

[@ageraRable]

I bought a brand ford ranger px1 in 2015 for 42k, and they want over 90k for this now. Ya telling me this is worth more than two rangers🙄, what a joke.

[@bwilman]

Why waste so much time reviewing Evinrude when they are out of business?

[@UltimateFishingTV]

We have had a-lot of requests for this review. There are a number of people who what to get there hands on this G2 technology. Note: Evinrude G2's are still available with guaranteed ongoing service support, parts and warranty.

[@paulrobberts1527]

Put a yamaha on and it will be even better!🤣

[@juanpm8381]

Evinrude K.O. :(

[@deano59cobrablog93]

just put a deposit on the 1850 sportsfish with a 115 mercury got a few upgrades ie seats i had a 530 barcrusher before but the amount of room in the stabi kills it .. just waiting for the dealer to finish fitting it out and it should be here in a couple of weeks got it in the nice gun metal grey

[@JT-jy2sy]

The weakest link is Evinrude. The truth is Evinrude is gone and that is fact.

[@Michael_Rodrique]

Stabi craft? More like stubby craft

[@BBBYpsi]

I came to see it review on a stabicraft 1850 and instead and getting nothing but a review and a engine that is no longer being made and totally out of business
