A built-in fish finder, a dedicated well cooler, and a host of other purpose-built features combine to usher in a new wave of personal watercraft with the Sea-Doo Fish Pro.
Fishing and Sea-Doos typically don’t mix. Where one requires patience and stealth, the other thrives on speed and wave-breaking maneuvers.
But within the last few years, a new pastime has emerged that combines the two activities: personal watercraft (PWC) fishing. And last month, Sea-Doo launched the first PWC built specifically for anglers.
Now available for order, the Sea-Doo Fish Pro looks like the luxury SUV cousin of the sporty PWCs we’re all familiar with. And it offers a host of goodies you find on any other PWC.
Sea-Doo Fish Pro: PWC for Anglers
To start, the Fish Pro is a big machine. Bumper to bumper, the Fish Pro measures 12.25 feet, 11.5 inches longer than Sea-Doo’s other crafts. According to the brand, this provides more space to fish and board, and it makes the Fish Pro more stable when fighting lunkers in rough water.
Plus, Sea-Doo equips the Fish Pro with a Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 62cv and a 6-inch screen. This provides the pilot with navigation, charting, and fish-finding capability.
There’s also a 13.5-gallon cooler built into the stern to store your catch. The cooler sports four rod-holders, a recessed work surface, trolling slots, and storage for bait and tackle.
