Trailer craft pro fish

[Cm821939]

Hi guys just joined up as i thought this may be a good way to get sum feed back on a boat i am thinking of getting.
Any way was after sum honest comments on the trailercraft profish 455 if any one has any thing they can put foward. I currently run a 435 hornet and looking for sum thing a tad bigger so it can go out wide on better days. My main query was how do they handle the chop ?

cheers for any info

I would look at the makocraft frenzy mate..

I used to fish with my mate in his old profish & we would get wet anytime it blew up..

Profish= cracks, lots of repairs to cracks... Very slappy in chop.

Well im not a platey fan but if after a platey around that size anything but a profish. A Stingray, pacific, sportsfish, something solid, depends on budget too. If can afford obviiously AMM, Fisher or the likes. A small platey will get hammered so you need something strong. A friend had a 5m Stingray i went out in and i was quite impressed how it went, trim tabs helped alot. Hope this helps. Dean.

thanks for your honest thoughts guys.
i live up north so the boat will spend 70% of its time in creeks esturays.
other options i am considering are top enders and polycrafts.
i no polycrafts are wet but they have a few pros as well from my research

My thoughts are this ....... the only reason I would buy an ally boat is if it needed to be light weight as it a car top per other wise I would buy a glass boat, better ride,quite and al round a better boat, now I know people say you hit things in creeks.... well I try not too and have not hit anything in the last couple of years. But if you are worried about hitting things than I would go the poly boat that way you can hit as much as you want and I had a poly yes it was wet but no worse than a lot of tinnies.

For creeks the poly 4.5 or 4.8 will be the pick of the bunch I'd say. Tough as nails and very stable for casting, pulling pots etc. They'll go anywhere a plate boat will go but for open water they are wet and not as fast as an ally boat.
