Hooker 6.7 m Pro Fisherman - Boat Review

In 35 years of filming fishing stories, we have seen a lot of fishing boats, filmed in a lot of fishing boats, and owned a lot of fishing boats. In that time there have been marked changes in what is considered to be a fishing boat. So we chose the Hooker for the reasons detailed below. Just being able to float on the water is not enough!

Safety
Closed Cell foam filled bouyancy means that if the very worst happened, your boat would still float. Stainless steel grab rails on the console and the sides. This boat comes standard with dual bilge pumps and float switch. Also standard is the navigation lights and a very useful floodlight. As Hooker Boats byline says "Home Safe Every Time".

Stability
On water stability is very important to us in a fishing boat, and this boat is great with its beam of 2.45 metres. Plenty of room to move and be sure footed.

Economy
A safe boat is an economic boat. As that TV advert says 'If it saves you once a year...'.
Sound, sturdy construction is an economic factor - next to no down-time and tough. No timber is used in the construction, so no worries there, and this boat comes with a 10 year structural hull warranty.

Dry Ride
This boat was designed to cope with the jumps and free fall that can be experienced when running offshore. Spray is kept outside by the design of the hull and chines.

Function

Swing over back-rest for helm seat. 400 litre fuel tank for long range trips, and dual fillers for the tanks so you will always pull up on the right side at the service station.

Stowage
