Boating New Zealand - IV808 Venture (walk around)

“Estero is an Innovision 808 with a twist. Built for a sport fishing enthusiast, the Venture model has a centre cabin (CC) with full walkaround side-decks, rather than the conventional hardtop of the standard 808, a layout optimised for fishing and diving”
As anticipated, Estero performs and handles extremely well. She is a quiet runner, with minimal noise from the hull and only moderate noise from the engine despite an open cabin configuration.
The 808 Venture planes with a level attitude and exhibits very little bow lift during acceleration. Its long waterline length not only adds volume, it also provides the ride and handling benefits of a larger vessel”.
“Her owner had enjoyed the 808 Venture for more than three months at time of review….he reported that she performs admirably in a range of sea conditions - one of his prerequisites when he ordered the vessel”
