SURTEES 650 GAME FISHER + YAMAHA HELM MASTER EX

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: SURTEES 650 GAME FISHER + YAMAHA HELM MASTER EX

The Surtees 650 Game Fisher is a premium offshore fishing boat, ready to tackle whatever Mother Nature has to throw at it. With room for up to 6 people and a 250L fuel tank, it’s the perfect overnight boat.

This stunning Surtees comes fitted with a Yamaha F175XCA outboard (maximum 200hp rating). It is 6.50m on the dot and its beam is 2.375m. With a max load of 800kg, the 650 Game Fisher can easily accommodate you, your friends/family and all the gear you could imagine! A walk-through transom and built-in live bait tank optimises space and makes boarding a breeze. The Surtees Razortech smooth-riding hull guarantees a ride that is comfortable and stable. Paired with the Surtees 10 year hull warranty, this boat is built to last – and fish!

Yamaha has taken marine technology to the next level with this latest innovation, the Yamaha Helm Master EX boat control system. This system turns even the most novice boatie into a pro with joystick control. Get your boat exactly where you want it with ease! Helm Master has it all, and can work on both single and multi-engine configurations.

Keep your position with FishPoint, your heading with DriftPoint, and head to your off-shore destination with ease with the Autopilot Navigation System.

Fishpoint will maintain your boat’s position effortlessly. Simply set your chosen spot and Helm Master will take care of the rest, using minimal engine RPM to maintain your position. Driftpoint allows you to keep your bow pointed in your set direction, while the current allows you to drift along. By twisting the joystick, you can adjust your bow’s heading angle with ease.

Helm Master is a fully customisable system, designed to change with your needs and budget. Yamaha has manufactured the system to be plug-and-play;

it is quick to install and requires minimal work. Entry level starts with Digital Electronic Controls and Digital Steering, and from there, the system goes up to include the entire Helm Master EX system. From level 1 to 4, there is a Helm Master set-up for everyone!

Our Surtees is fitted out with the whole kit and caboodle – the premium level 4 of the Helm Master EX system. The joystick allows for extremely precise control when at low speeds; perfect for docking, launching, or approaching your intended beacon. The controller is ergonomic and is easy to use. Each button is labelled so just about anyone can set it.

Northside Marine will have the Surtees 650 Game Fisher with Yamaha Helm Master EX on display, but only for a limited time. Be sure to be in contact with our Surtees specialist, Bill Hull, in order to express your interest and inspect this fantastic set up!
