Stabicraft 2880 Pilot House

[StabicraftMarine]

The internet hates me again. Jettywolf (or Welder), you know, what did I do wrong below?
I am trying to add a video like you do, just the video box, not a silly link.

This is the URL link to our second 2880 Pilot House to hit the States.

I'll come back and edit this if anyone gives me the know-how.

Cheers,

Sure will be. I'm not sure if the yellow 2880 will be there as it is a sold (customer owned) boat.

We did a few things different on the grey one, the transom set up is quite different. I'll be interested in seeing the eventual 'Seattle Boat Show picture thread' and hearing some thoughts on it.

I think the blue one that was down in Oregon finally sold. It appeared to be a great deal for someone.

Did either of them have a stand up head?

See you at the show

No, neither had a stand up head. We have done them but they are not popular down under.
Another forum member (DwayneJ) has one on his 829 GIII.

I personally wont be at the show, I go to the Aus and NZ shows but our MD (and founder) goes to Seattle. He will be there for the last couple of days supporting our US sales manager and our dealers.
I hope to come over one day. Its a big trip but I'd like to meet some of you as well as have a proper look at some PNW style boats. They are so different to the 'NZ norm', I'd like to know why.

Cheers,
Tim.

Hey Mate. Yes youtube can be a bit perplexing, here is what I did?????

Right clicked on your video. Copy and pasted URL.................... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDCs0-z ... detailpage

Clicked youtube box

Exactly between the [Youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDCs0-z ... ge[Youtube] ....... Pasted copied URL

Removed the s in https.... http://www.youtube.com
Removed the Et (could not type the exact symbol) in total removed..... Etfeature=player_detailpage

So it looked kind of looked like this........ [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDCs0-z[youtube]

For you Observant ones I just ommited the slash in youtube to not activate the source code.

Well it worked for me.............. look forward in seeing more embedded youtubes from you in the future

I called on that one a couple of days ago (1/31). He gave me the quote so I assume it's still for sale but I just don't have the time right at the minute to drive down and take a look. I'm really liking the idea of these boats especially the 2880.

Here's a question:
I know Stabicraft is made in New Zealand. I understand there is some assembly here in the US. Does that make it a US vessel? The reason I ask is in the back of my head I might want to retire in a few years so I was thinking of trying to set up my play boat as commercial tuna. Not serious or with the intent to make money but with the intent of trying to defer some of the costs (fuel).

The assembly on these hulls is minimal - effectively just the roof and windows are fitted after its pulled from the container. I do not believe this qualifies the hull as US made in any significant way. We had a partnership in the US years ago and are looking very hard at them again (the current exchange rate is murder). If we do get something under way its likely we will send sub-assemblies to the US for construction and fit up locally which would make them predominantly US built. You guys would hear about it as soon as I knew we had something happening.

I hear what you are saying about having a commercial element to your future boat. It is not uncommon practice to do that here.

Only one thing I don't like about the Stabicraft...I don't own one....

Being from Australia originally, you guys make some awesome boats across the ditch...had the pleasure of going out on a spearfishing trip out at the Sydney FAD's for Mahi Mahi on one of your boats...Well, love at first sight... and the ride was something special....Keep it up...
