Beautiful looking boats

[@charlisierra1910]

if I will ever win the lottery, I will fly down from Germany to NZ and buy some of these!! I love your White Pointer and Stabicrafts!! BTW: a nice video again!

[@brett5649]

Stabicrafts are inferior compared to whitepointers. I know I've owned 5 stabicrafts and 2 whitepointers. Whitepointers are better in every aspect. Especially the ride

[@johninnz]

@@brett5649 Stabicrafts of yesteryear are a long long long way apart from their new design. Trust me when I tell you a new 7.5m Stabicraft will ride just as well as a White Pointer if not better.

[@brett5649]

@@johninnz good comment however my brother just bought a new 2400 supercab in November last year and the ride is still inferior. At rest it certainly sits beautifully. But the ride quality just isn't there espically in a sloppy sea

[@johninnz]

@@brett5649 Did he foam fill? I've fully lined the cabin in mine as well as which makes a huge difference to the noise in the cab. Ride comfort is often subjective and cabin noise can influence the senses significantly. I do like the White Pointers and there us no doubt the finish on them is top shelf, akin to a quality fiberglass finish. For me I'm happy enough to forego some finishing detail for the safety of a chambered pontoon boat when fishing offshore. We all hope we dont have an accident at sea but there is a lot of comfort in the knowledge a Stabi should still float when its filled with water. 👍

[@brett5649]

@@johninnz yea foam filled etc. It's the slap I personally hate. And it slaps hard in a sloppy sea. Just as my last one did. Which was only 4 years ago. Still a well thought out boat. But ride for me personally is huge when heading out 40+miles. No one wants to be pounding in hard for hours if the sea suddenly chops up. Don't get me wrong I do like them. But for the money and having owned a fair few boats. There are better alternatives for the price point

Good boats. Built to handle the kiwi fisherman.

[@jezza79]

[@matt1653]

There's a guy on lord howe Island that drove one of these from NZ to lord howe. Weapon of a boat!

[@jedpayten8973]

I have heard of him!

[@joshua986767]

insane boats! Built like a tank

[@Adogsmate4267]

If I were to trade alloy for fibreglass, this would be it. Lovely looking boat, even standing still.

[@retix11]

Is there any relationship between this company and White Pointer Australia who build fibreglass boats?

[@groovanxt2u817]

Didn't even know we had our own boats outta Gizzy! Was looking at a Surtees out of Whakatane but I'll probably go the White Pointer. Support local outta my home town for sure👍🏾

[@kingpuia736]

I've painted about 5 of these always look good when finished

[@keriboi]

[@jamesbourne8183]
