Today we're aboard the extreme 795 walk around.
It's a new model for the company and it's a multi award winner.
We've had about fifteen knots of wind and a decent sort
of slop outside Tutukaka Harbour. It's been a lot of fun.
This boat goes exceptionally well. It's really soft riding. Its got an
eight mill hull, thicker than normal, they're usually a five mill, but the eight mill
hull makes this boat go even better than you might expect. Really nice to helm.
It likes a bit of speed and bit of power, but fortunately there is a 300
horsepower on the transom. So there's plenty of push, plenty of oomph.
We managed to travel through pretty decent sea, at probably... I was reading
fifty kilometers an hour. So you know that's a good speed to be making
ground in the sorts of conditions that we were in, and I would imagine on a flat
day you would get probably forty knots out of this boat. Not something that we tested
today but I would imagine you'd get at least that out of this.
So it certainly gets along very nicely.
So this boat is a fishing boat pure and simple.
Starting with this bait station. Simply pull it out and turn it over when it comes time
to fillet fish and then you don't have any lips to worry about that's a really good feature.
I also like the way that everything drains out past the transom, there's
no mess at all is going to get inside the boat. Simple but sensible.
A couple of tackle drawers here.
Useful they've even carpeted it to stop things bouncing around too much.
Across the transom... We've got a couple of
drop-in doors for when it's rough, or when you need to back up.
There's a nice walk through so it's easy to get out onto these swim platforms
at the rear of the boat. Nice drop down ladders, dive ladders, which also form a cage.
They've even gone to the trouble of putting a couple of rod holders on the corners.
There's a nice spacious cockpit, plenty of room for fishing. I love the
way that they've got sea deck over the floor, and they've also put it up here on
the gunnels as well. Nice to lean against, nice and soft. Great on bare feet, warm in
the winter, cool in the summer. Really nice touch. I've noticed when I came into
the boat we've got hand washes here. Just lean against them, lean over, wash
your hands. The nice thing about these is push it once and it runs
for seconds and it stops all by itself,
Okay we're standing inside the hard top of the seven nine five. Walk around.
Now it's actually quite a good width. It's much wider than I expected
it to be so even though this is a walk around you've still got plenty of room
inside the hardtop. They've really gone to town here with the electronics we've
got a 16-inch Simrad multi function display, and this vessel also runs the c zone system.
They have already set it up on a number of modes. If we're
going fishing for the day we can just push the button for the day fishing mode.
Also got a Simrad autopilot and of course the latest Yamaha gauges to go
with our 300 horsepower Yamaha on the transom.
You can quite happily overnight on this boat.
Not only does it have it's own little cooker and a sink there's
also a decent sized sleeping area up here in fore cabin. There's even a pipe
berth so you could quite easily sleep three, maybe even four people here
if you really really were keen. The other nice thing about it is it's got this
little aluminum roller door, it's lockable so you can lock it up and
everything's safe. Nice big under floor locker and this one is fitted with a
couple of rail blazer clamps or holders, you know that'll secure your dive
bottles nice and safely there, they won't roll around or bang together.
Yep another nice touch this reversible backrest here. So if you are in fishing mode
and you want to watch the lures you can set yourself around this way.
Oh... Nice and comfy.
You've got floodlights here for the cockpit.
LED floodlights the lighting inside the boaters LED as well.
There's also strip lighting underneath the gunnels. A spotlight or floodlight on the
roof line and one more thing that this boat has that I've never seen before,
it has lights along the sides as well there's three each side LED lights and
they'd be really useful if you were coming alongside a dock or something at night.
You can see exactly what you're doing.
So we've really enjoyed our day in the Extreme 795 Walkaround.
Here on the Tutukaka Coast.This is a superbly
detailed boat it's beautifully finished. It goes extremely well, it's been nicely set up.
Look there's really nothing not to like about this boat. Whether
you're into fishing or whether you'd like this for a bit more sort of family
orientated activities. Really this is a boat that for the mad keen fisherman.
You couldn't ask for anything better.
