Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this so hope I am doing it right.
My stepson is looking to buy a new aluminium hull with a cuddy cabin. He wants to use it for off-shore fishing. He has seen a new 4 Seasons Wind Storm SS505 with a 70hp Yammy 2 stroke.
He has asked my advice and I can't find out much about them. Can anyone help with advice, comments etc. As usual, money is limited, also he can't go over about 5m because of where he has to park it.

I would appreciate any feedback, thanks

Four Seasons = Stessco. Stay away, the build quality is appalling. They have a reputation in the market for being the cheapest least quality boat on the market. Hence the new name "Four Seasons" an attempt to get away from Stessco and its associated reputation. Go and have a look at a decent brand, Stacer, Quintrex and Formosa (these are great boats at a great price).
