Hi guys,

Has anyone taken delivery of a new Fisher this year? If so are you happy?

Also,

How did you find the finish / build quality compared to other 'name' plate boats?

The boats I am looking at are the 520 & 550 centre consoles. Any previous owners of Fishers that have any pro's / con's to add?

Thanks in advance,

Nick

From what I have been told they are up and running again under new management. Don’t quote me, but I don’t think Col is in the picture anymore.

I am not looking for a slinging match about them, I am seeking opinions about the ride and build quality of the boats from owners and people who regularly fish out of them.

Cheers,

Nick

My cousin's 7 meter is under way at the moment, its a pro crabbing boat, more or less a large centre console. I'll have a look over it when its completed ... foxy

Several posts deleted.

Please stick to the topic. The member is asking questions about current Fisher Boats and this thread has nothing to do with the former Fisher Company.

If you have off topic matters to discuss start another thread.

I regularly fish in a 6M fisher and find it an excellent ride and well above average fit out/design especially when stacked against several other leading al boats of similar size I have fished in. Well worth the xtra $;)

I passed a centre cab fisher this morning on the way to work for sale in Cairns. It had a flash paint job in like orange/yellow with a zuke on it. Look around 6 metres.

Might be worth a look if you come to Cairns at all.

I'll be compiling a summary of my experiences with Fisher Boats and others when my boat is completed. I can't do it now as the saga is still unfolding and I'm yet to learn whether there's a happy ending or not. It's not likely to be a love story.
