Hats off to Polycraft for producing a remarkably stable hull configuration.

I have recently finished Stability Trials (on water) for the new 5.3m Cuddy Cabin, that I am about to start using as a small fast Water Taxi.

The Hull is recommended to 6 passengers, (plated on all recreational models), stability tests witnessed by NSW maritime, surpassed this allowing the vesel into Commercial Survey for passenger transport with a payload of 6 passengers and 1 crew (Total 7), we usually find that recreational hulls are downgraded when in survey to fewer passengers that that which they are plated for.

That doesnt surprise me. I keep telling people that all 3 of us can stand on one side of the boat when retrieving big fish & the boat sits there solid as a rock & doesnt tip at all. 2thumbsup 2thumbsup 2thumbsup 2thumbsup

Yea you won't get a better platform, it should serve you well as a taxi.

The stability is the reason why we have one. I was sold when we took one for a test run and all four of us in the boat were on one side and it didn't move. So unlike my past experiences of boating.

Now if they could only flatten out Bass Strait....................
