A series specially developed for fishing
In parallel to its activity dedicated to the design of RIBs for the professional market, Vanguard Marine offers a range of boats for pleasure boating. Among the different models, the Go Fish Series has been specifically developed for fishing, by professionals of the sector. Designed for sport fishing, but also for underwater fishing, the 660 and 560 Go Fish offer a very complete standard equipment.
A choice of quality manufacturing
The boats are manufactured in Portugal in a 25,000 m2 factory, with a dedicated 6,000 m2 area for floats. 2000 boats are produced each year, including 400 for the professional market. The hull is made of polyester and three choices of materials are offered for the tubes:
- Heat-sealed PVC
- Heat-sealed polyurethane
- Hypalon Neoprene
Numerous equipment for fishing
The Go Fish 660, the largest model with a length of 6.60 m, offers a more spacious layout, including a cockpit bench seat with a wide backrest. A fish tank is integrated in the floor. On each side, the rear of the floats has large cutting platforms for preparing bait, for example, and rod holders. In total, 6 rod holders are distributed on the boat.
Behind the leaning-post, a polyester block offers a nice cutting table with a 47 cm ruler to measure your catch and six rod holders. Opening the trunk reveals a livewell and a cleverly stowed garden hose. The leaning-post with handrails faces a central console with a nice dashboard on which you can install a depth finder. A windshield with handrail ensures the protection of the pilot.
At the front of the console, a box contains a fishing box to store lures and 3 rod holders. Finally, a second cutting table with measurement equips the front deck. A davit is positioned at the bow. Rope handrails are present throughout the boat for moving around or holding on while sailing.
A powerful and fast model
The Go Fish 660 gets a maximum of 175 horsepower outboard. The dealer indicated a top speed of 42 knots with 150 horsepower from Suzuki.
