I seriously looked at buying one myself, but decideded against, main factor was lack of deck space, enough room for 2, but no more, went for Ocqueteau 615 in the end, The London boat show is on at the moment, could be worth a trip ?

One of our club members had one of the bigger models, had all sorts of problems with it, so got rid of it within 2yrs.

He said the quality was rubbish, then again he is the only one I know about.

I am sure someone has had a bad Warrior or Orkney or similar.

Hi davechrissyfishing,
I also have had a Pilothouse 620 for nearly 3 years and to be honest, can't realy fault it.
Not sure what model Dave.s was commenting on, but the build quality is very good on mine. The best thing to do is visit a show or dealer and arrange a test run and see for yourself, we all have our own prefereces, in this world.

Cheers
Steve

Hi,

Our club member had a 640 with a mariner 115 4 stroke. As I said his is the only one I know who has had problems but the bad bit is that the dealer did not want to know in getting it fixed properly.
As usual it is down to customer service from dealers.

I have a Pilothouse 640. Although I have only had it a couple of months I am over the moon with it. I was out in a force 6 a couple of weeks ago, 10-12ft swell and it handled it very well. It fishes up to 6 but 4 in comfort.
Top speed so far about 25kts but not in ideal conditions, should do 28-30 with 100hp.

Hi,

We have a 560, which is the older version of the 580. Its a super boat and to date have no complaints, quick onto the plane and excellent in heavy seas. Loads of deck and cabin space, combined with a 70 litre fuel tank and heaps of storage compartments.
