Tested | Cruise Craft 595EX with Yamaha 200HP 4 stroke

Steve Morgan and Streaker Marine's Shaun Savage take the Cruise Craft 595EX, powered by a 200HP Yamaha 4-stroke, out for a run on Port Phillip Bay to get some performance numbers.

Cruise Craft is the Crown Lager of boats. Seen as premium by the older generation, seen as a dinosaur by the modern buyer.

What do you recommend?

[@adventureforever5126]

I think the soft top is a much better look on the 595 than the hard top. Great boats.

There’s so many nice boats but I’m thinking about getting a Stabicraft 2100 supercab because my budget is around $100k, I’ve seen some for around $112k . How do they compare to fibreglass boats?

[@joshherschell546]

Hi Jeff, Stabi make a brilliant boat as do Cruise Craft. In regards to performance it is very difficult to compare plate to fibre glass. I actually work for Streaker Marine & we have a demo day coming up & we will have a range of Cruise Craft Boats & Yellow Fin Plate Boats. If you would like to give us a call we can email you through the registration form & we can get you on a plate boat & a CruiseCraft. We are located in Melbourne Vic & our demo day will be held on port phillip bay. Other wise i am more than happy to have a chat with you in regards to some key differences with plate vs fibreglass. Regards Josh

That won't do what my plate boat will it's a pretty boys boat 😂

[@dpfishn]

Said it before but still no toilet in there, hard to stay on the boat for the weekend or be family friendly. $110k offshore boat with a hook 7?? Anyone that's going to seriously use this boat would surely put a 10/12" simrad or similar in

All options boxes that can be ticked.

Demo boat I suppose

[@johnboy5167]
