I noticed it lists to port side with 2 of you on separate sides of boat on flat water. Is the boat unbalanced or something? I'm interested in one if it level out as being at the helm in a tilted seating position is very uncomfortable.
The right hand rotation of the engine automatically leans the boat to the port side (which is why boat helms are always on the starboard side), in this case because the vessel is a fairly deep vee (15 degree) and very narrow being only a 14 footer she does have a bit of a list on calm water (with a passenger on the port side). When she hits a wave she flattens right out being able to utilize those pontoons. Everything on a boat is a compromise. A flatter boat would not list, and would consequently also not take a wave nearly as good.
@@rayzar6720 i currently have one on order (Profish), 6 month + wait though. Once you get trolling motor and battery upfront will keep the bow down more hull in water, plus you just need to distribute the weight of any gear on-board. I don't see it being an issue but will post a comment once I have some sea time in mine.👌
@@ME-qq2dc My mistake. We're currently installing our first bow mounted trolling motor and we're planning for a 57" Garmin Force. I'll try to get a video done on that when she's complete.
These are going to sell like hot cakes in Canada. There will hardly be any left for us here in New Zealand given the demand from Australia, Canada, Sweden etc etc. Good luck.
This is one of the best demonstrations of the stabicraft I have seen.
Awesome review. My dude manhandled that boat. Awesome 14’ Boat. That thing is legit.
Way to go Mike! Interesting boat thanks for the ride.
Thanks Spencer! Very cool boats indeed!

Hi Mike is that 1450 already sold?
Yes this one is
Hi Mike, what do they start at price wise? And what is the wait time?
Thanks.
They come in around $35-40k CAD with power and a trailer. I have more coming in early 2023
What shaft length do you recommend on trolling motor for these?
This boat has a 20” transom so she uses a long shaft

It's pretty easy to see why they've been so successful out your way. We've been very impressed with the product so far!
@@GalleonMarineRichmond Sweet!
