It's  an interesting debate so I'll just give you a few facts and you can choose which Fishing Ski you think is the right one for you.....

The Tunny: Length 4300mm x 630mm wide x 250mm and +/- 26kg's. Main hatch 1900mm with a rod shoot on the left hand side, extra hatch with 250mm hatch lid behind seat .Strapping on back deck with 3 rod holders standard.

The Kingy: Length 4500mm x 630mm wide x 270mm and +/- 26kg's. Main hatch 2450mm long with 2nd small dry hatch in seat area and 3rd larger dry with 300mm lid behind seat. Strapping on back deck, with 3 rod holders standard.

The Snoek: Length 5400mm x 550mm x 230mm and +/- 18kg's Main hatch 1450mm with small dry hatch in seat area, no rear hatch. Strapping on back deck with 2 rod holders as standard.

The reason the weights are +/- is because all our ski's are custom made and it's the individuals choice as to what he or she wants fitted or what spray design etc. The more colours the more paint the more your ski weighs.. extra rod holders add weight and so on and so forth..

The Tunny is by far the most stable ski and is as 'bullet proof' as a ski can be, with a 14yr pedigree behind it has proved itsellf over and over again. The only draw back on the Tunny is the hatch with the Rod shoot claiming it's fair share of broken rod eyes.....The Tunny is good in surf but you have to make sure you are leaning well back on the wave in. I have fished off a Tunny for the past 8yrs and have enjoyed every minute of it.... I have to admit though that in the surf the Kingy is much better.

The Kingy is the new boy on the block but it has taken all the best features of the Tunny and tweaked them. The extra length, pointed nose and extra volume in the nose have made it a dream in the surf....It punches through the wave rather than going over the top and the extra volume makes the nose 'pop out' the water when you are coming down a wave. The adjustable foot pedals make it a one size fits all ski and the self draining bailers/scuppers mean you can fish with dry feet. The very big hatch has no corners, all the edges are rounded which is good news for your rods and you can fit a 7' rod in there without taking it apart. The Kingy weighs the same and is the same width as the Tunny but it is much faster and more responsive ....

The Snoek Ski has been around for almost 5yrs now and it has it's own loyal bunch of followers. The Snoek is basically a surf Ski with rod holders, very fast but not as stable as the other two ski's .... it was initially made for the surf-ski guys who wanted to train and catch fish at the same time. The hatch is small so you are a little limited in your tackle but if you know what you are targeting you'll have ample space.... the sailfish and obviously snoek love the extra speed.

Well there you have it....comments would certainly be appreciated.
