Hey just after some feedback on yalta craft off anyone wgo owns one or has been in one . looking at the 6200 fisherman. just wondering how it handles in offshore conditions . and if you need electric breaks for this size ? And the pros and cons of the glass boats . Thanks any info will be good.

Great boats with lots of fishing room.A few mates have them and fish ouside Heron Island and Sykes reef up here of Gladstone.Have also fished out of inskip point through the wide bay bar many times.They handle the rough quite well.Value for money,worth a serious look.

My old man bought one 2yrs ago at the boat show .
Hes from gladstone and uses it alot around heron , masthead and the outer reefs .
Has left gladstone now and living down in hervey bay .
They are a great boat for rough conditions.
Thats why theres a few running around central queensland .
Runs a 4 stroke suzuki on the back which is great on the fuel for long trips.
Nothing beats a fibre glass boat offshore.

I have the smaller brother the 555 and it handles offshore well. Best put this in the boating section you will get more responses.

Have had my 615 for about 6 years and been in everything from 3 m bay chop to 60 ks offshore with swell from 1 direction and 2 directions of chop, never missed a beat and always felt safe, may repower but never think of selling

I went from a Haines signature 630f to a 2007 odessa and its got more room and is smoother through choopy conditions .It is easier to tow and better on fuel because its not as so heavy . I am very happy with the boat.Hammertime.

As I understand it they are currently for sale for 50K. Prior to ordering, some direct inquiry might be a prudent action.

Cheers
