HIGHS
- Typical hardcore Surtees build
- Quality finishes to aluminium
- High performance from Yamaha F115
- Very economical
LOWS
- T-top great for shade but needs fine
tuning – remove the rear grab handles
and add rocket launchers - Bait-board encroaches on rear seat
days fishing.
One particular Surtees feature
that I do like is the wider than usual
coamings as standard on all their
models – they work well as a side seat
when at rest, allow for larger side
pockets below and can be walked on
if need be.
Catching the eye within the layout
is the console being noticeably
narrower than standard, and that
due to maintaining the walk-around
spacetothecastdeckupfront.I
think it’s a good enough size or width
and although there’s not much room
to flush mount large sounders, you

The Surtees 575 Pro Fisher is a bona
fide reflection of the centre console
‘bandwagon’; Much emphasis is
placed on storage capacity in the bow;
A relatively high and spacious cast
deck will keep lure and bait fishos
happy; Bow-mounts for electric
motors are popular features on
smaller centre consoles.tradeboats.com.au 61Surtees 575 Pro Fisher
