Stealth 4.700m vs king 0.970m.

Henrys turn to nail a 90 plus.

Yellowtail kingfish 0.970m
Downrigged live bait

Welcome to the club mate.

So let me get this right.You caught the thing on a Stealth using a live downrigged bait...cool.

Things then start to go down hill.....
1.I hear you were wearing that crazy eskimo hat.
2.I get hit on the head by a rogue Bennet paddle (looked like it had been used upside down for the past year) whilst swimming Mona Vale Basin.Since been informed that you lost a paddle fitting this description whilst landing the above brute.
3.My spies then tell me that some bloke wearing a strange hat was seen trying to paddle a mule back to shore with a Mona Vale Hilton bait tube as a paddle..... still full of live yellowtail I might add.
4.Then to top it off I hear my old 495 was seen rendering assistance with a mule in tow.

What a story.......Henry have I missed anything?????

Well done mate.....Both you and Dave sure have put the hours and effort in this season.

The Mud Snake.

Full carbon Stealth 550.

Screw hatch in lieu of lift hatch....Drybox not wetbox.

Custom color...Exposed carbon band/black band/tangerine band.

The perfect Snake.

























Stealth 550.....Full Carbon Missile.

Paddling with a "NUDGE".

A tad awkward but reality when paddling the Mud Snake.

This thing is just insane.........Light ,fast,stiff and wicked on the water.

The 550 in carbon has a totally different feel to my 550 in glass.The reduced weight and stiffness result in a craft that accelerates and maintains speed with minimal effort.I would estimate a third lighter than the same ski in glass.

With these skis we opted for a screw hatch in lieu of the lift hatch to access the internal fishbox.This has resulted in 100% dry stowage and of course reduced weight with no water intake.

If you get the opportunity to paddle one of these skis...........you will buy one straight up.They are that good.


Hand made......Cutting edge....Pushing the boundaries.....Leading not following.....Good on you Stealth and well done Bruce.....Awesome craft.
