My brother is looking at getting one of these and I'm obviously curious why no one on here has mentioned anything about them since the TW model has a large well in the stern. Is it because they are reasonably snug in the cockpit area for average size guyz n girls??? Or are they not as stable as some of the retailers would have us to believe???
Look forward to hearing any views that the listeners may have..... <SCRIPT language=javascript>postamble(); ------------- Boating is like standing under a cold shower ripping up hundred dollar notes - but we luv it! |

| I have 2 Scupper pros - they are great to fish from and are stable. I am 6ft and 70Kg. My brother 100kg enjoys using them as well. Have fished at Matai Bay, Whitanga and around Auckland. |

<SCRIPT language=javascript>postamble(); Thanks Guys - well I'll definately have to try one out in the water then - I've sat in one in the shop and thought it felt a bit narrow in the seat for me - but I'll give it a proper go. You're very good at using Photoshop Dreadeye - an intersting image though ;-) ------------- Boating is like standing under a cold shower ripping up hundred dollar notes - but we luv it! |

My bro has 2 of them, annd I have used them to get to the cavallis for a bit of a spearfish a couple of times. I thought they were great. Not as stable as the wider model (scrambler?) but faster to get where you want. Go Jimbo |

WATERBOY, If you find the Scupper Pro's cockpit too small, then check out the OK Prowler which is essentially an updated version of same, and optimised for fishing. Dogfish
