First Impression What a nice 'little big boat', well thought out, and very practical. We took the boat out on a less than perfect day, utilising the 'day cabin' on several occassions to get ourselves and the camera equipment out of the wind driven rain. The boat handled the wind and chop very well, and was surprisingly stable for a boat this size. I'd love this boat with front and side clears. Overall, we liked it! Suitability At 5.09m this boat certainly offers a great deal of usable space, a 'walk through windscreen and day cabin', and a huge cockpit combine to offer a very practical boat for the fishing family. We see the TC165 as a fishing oriented boat, which will comfortable accommodate other family activities. Manufacturers Comment " This easy handling boat is big enough for some serious fishing, a great little ski boat and a snazzy day cruiser. The TC165's large cockpit is unlike most boats under five metres. It provides seating for 5 as well as plenty of space for the family or fishing. All of this with the peace of mind which comes from the shelter of a cuddy cabin and high coamings to get you home safe and dry. Storage space abounds: under floor locker, under floor ski recess, cabin shelves, side lockers, under seat bins, and under bunk stowage" – Haines Traveler. [ ] A ‘Boat Test’ has been scheduled by the manufacturer. [*] The manufacturer has opted for a ‘review’ only. Note: A review is a basic look over a boat, which we have not-tested; some manufacturers will opt for reviews only. |
