Nice review. I just ordered one and I keep watching your video to get my fix lol. I really like the new color scheme and it looks like it's got a good amount of power. I'm coming off a 300 hp sea doo so i was concerned it was gonna be under powered. Do the rod holders feel strong enough to handle a good strike from a good size fish ? Thank you
Hi Troy, thanks mate. The rod holders are stronger than I thought they would be, I had a crab scoop in one of them the other day, hit a wave and got air, snapping the crab scoop but the rod holder held up mint so yeh, they will handle a fish strike easily, and power wise, they are a perfect balance between fuel economy and power. I have a mate(macca) that has the seadoo 255hp and his uses exactly twice the fuel mine does. Your goin to love your fishpro:)
mine arriving in two months. looking forward to it. Question,,, Is that still the bad fires burning in the background? Hope not. You guys have been through too much
Hi Sea Dude, thanks for taking the time to watch our video and yeh they are fires in the background, they got close to homes but as far as I know no injuries and only minor damage to property. The awesome Firemen got it under control quickly!
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 ah yeah nice mate. Thinking of picking up a Fish pro 170. Like the one in the vid I assume. Didn’t sell it because it was garbage? I’ve seen lots for sale second hand in my area with low hours and was wondering if there is a common occurring issue with them
Would also like to know I have a 2014 spark that has been 100% faultless. Crossing bars , chasing tuna and trolling for spanish. I have a boat also but the ski is a fishing machine
Hi buddy I quick question from miami fl how did you mount the camera on the Garmin? I just ordermy2022 fish pro sport not taking delivery till may 2022
Hi Chris, thanks for watching.You are allowed to go as far as you would in a 7.5m fishing boat. My Dhuie spots are around 33nm offshore, so I will head out there weather permitting:)
Great video mate...exactly what I was looking for. I'm putting my order in tomorrow....one question though. What does the boss think about the passenger seat? The GTX has an awesome seat for pillions, but the FP has that wide flat pillion seat. Great for fishing off, but how does it go for touring two up? Cheers!
Thanks for the review mate. I’ve got one coming with the iDF in Feb. Are you still running the base maps and if so how much detail to the give you? Cheers
Thanks Rob, I was to impatient to wait for the IDF model but think it would be a wicked addition to a already sick machine. The base maps are useless, Im running the Garmin maps, details not bad but nothing compared to the Navionics, and the shitty thing is the Garmin unit wont take the Navionics card!
Hi Dan. Thanks for watching.Nah toning down the riding doesnt help, the wind blows the spray on you even at slow speeds, so winter time its wetsuit time!!
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 Thank you for your reply! Australia is on my travel list, looks beautiful there, I am in Manassas Virginia, USA, its winter, Covid, and it freaking SUCKS here
@@dannelboy1 Yeh COVID sucks alright, I think we have got off relatively lightly. Australia is so beautiful, you will love every part of it, and the fishing and camping is top notch. As soon as you are able to, come here, even if it’s the only place you travel to, you won’t regret it👍🍻🎣
Hi Joshua, We havn't pulled a tube yet but it will do it with ease. We used to have the 155hp and that did it fine so the new one will be even better. Thanks for watching:)
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
Paid deposit on mine yesterday, will be here in June, cheers for the review
Great vid. My 1.9mtrs tall 120 kg. Do you think they would be stable in the ocean. Paul
Thanks mate, yeh defiantly would be stable enough, these skis are awesome for stability, you won’t have a problem🍻

Its a bummer theres a bit of a wait for these skis, but totally worth it:)
Nice video we will get this for tomorrow for crabbing.
Hi mate, you still running this beast? How’s it still holding up?
Hi mate, I’ve sold this, just waiting for my new fishpro trophy to rock up👌
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 ah yeah nice mate. Thinking of picking up a Fish pro 170. Like the one in the vid I assume. Didn’t sell it because it was garbage? I’ve seen lots for sale second hand in my area with low hours and was wondering if there is a common occurring issue with them

Hi mate, I just use a stick on go pro mount, hasn’t moved yet👌
Hey Aaron, thanks for the review. Good one. How far off the coast can you go chasing Dhuies ? Is there a Km limit
Hi Chris, thanks for watching.You are allowed to go as far as you would in a 7.5m fishing boat. My Dhuie spots are around 33nm offshore, so I will head out there weather permitting:)

Hi mate, thanks for watching.The rear seat is mint. Its big,soft and comfy, and the grip strap is in a great position:)
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 ordered one yesterday. Have to wait until August for it to arrive though....stupid COVID!
@@a9entjones Yeh COVID is Messing everything around, but once you get it, you will think it was well and truely worth the wait🎣💪

@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 yeah I was disappointed with that but not worried enough to upgrade the unit straight away. Cheers for the reply
@@robalcock6387 Yeh Im thinking the same, the sounders good and all I need it to do it guide me to my GPS spots I have already and thats fine:)
Tubbies would look awesome on it and I would get the extra fuel tank. Great vid's and I am looking forward to seeing your fish.
Thanks Rory, next mint day we are heading out wide chasin big dhuies so stay tuned, and thanks for watching mate👍🎣
Tubbies are the worst 😂
Top review, thanks!
I get mine tomorrow!!!
Awesome mate, You will not be disappointed:)
Good honest review👍
Hey mate just wondering what’s the legal distance we can go out on a jet ski?
Hi mate and thanks for watching, the only ski that can go out offshore is the seadoo fish pro due to its length being classed as 3.8m long.
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 thanks buddy appreciate the reply 👍enjoying ur content and look forward to the next video
What about getting wet while riding? Is a wetsuit required when riding in cold water or is it possible to just tone down the driving and not get wet?
Hi Dan. Thanks for watching.Nah toning down the riding doesnt help, the wind blows the spray on you even at slow speeds, so winter time its wetsuit time!!

Love Sea Doo.
Thanks
Sea Doo all the way, and the fish pro is top notch:)
How many hrs before the 1st service on it
First service is at 20hrs mate!
Does it come with outriggers on the roof? 🤪
the mullet bois
Yes the actual review starts at 0:48 🙈
Ignore the 1 min of "intro" as it's still a helpful review and we'll broken down 👍
How many hours do they last??
Easily anything up to 1000 hrs
What lifevest is that?
Hi mate, Its a genuine seadoo vest, cheers for watching:)
How does it pull a tube?
Hi Joshua, We havn't pulled a tube yet but it will do it with ease. We used to have the 155hp and that did it fine so the new one will be even better. Thanks for watching:)
@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 thank you
All watercraft under 3.75m restricted to 5 nautical miles offshore thats just over 9km
Hi Marty and thanks for watching. I've been in contact with marine safety and they list them as 3.8m so happy days, we r good to good,YEW!
I hate seeing people live my dreams 😔. Maybe one day!!
You’ll get there I have an RXT which is fast these days
Need a dead cat on that mike. Too much distracting noise makes it hard to hear what you are saying. Also the surf noise is adding to the din.
Thanks for watching, yeh I agree with you on the noise, we are looking at getting a external mic for these type of videos, cheers
The good bad and the ugly .. what about the ugly 🦈
35 litres to do 100 km ? That's terrible
