GOOD AS A HOLIDAY?PRACTICALLY PERFECTENGINEROOM ENGINEERINGIT'S A LOCKSMOOTH SEAS, ROUGH LUCKThe difference between custom and production that kept shining through while carrying out this review was the attention to detail. When you dug deep and took a close look at the plumbing and electrical work, you knew that the job was done properly, regardless of how long it took.
So is this the 'perfect' sportsfishing boat? In Gary Paykel's eyes it is. I'd probably change the odd thing, and so would you. But that's the beauty of a custom-built boat - what you want is what you get.
