Anyone got a trailcraft profish?

Gday guys, looking at a profish by trailcraft, particularly over the 5M mark, struggling hard to find any info on them so anything at all or any experience with them would be real appreciated. Mainly going to be used for shallow water fiahing (casting) and some offshore stuff.
Cheers

Traily
A bit bigger than what you are looking at but I wouldn’t swap my Trailblazer 570 at all. Awesome boat, very stable, easy to maintain and very easy to handle alone both launching and retrieving onto the trailer.

Yea I have a 465 , great all
Yea I have a 465 Profish , great all rounder and I use mine up north off the beaches , Cervantes , Wedge ect .
Happily go 10 mile ,conditions allowing but have never felt unsafe .Seat posn down back avoids back damage and solid build. A 570 would be great ,lots of deckspace for the size even in the 465 compared to the forward windscreen boats of the same size .

Profish
I have a 455 Profish Center Console, furthest I have taken it out of Rockingham is 12NM. I fish out of it solo regularly and never had a problem with it.

I had a 485 to honest it was
I had a 485 to honest it was the worst boat I have ever owned.
Very wet boat,
Fuel tank and people motor etc all down the back very un-balanced, scary at times in rough seas.
It is the only boat I have ever sold because I did not like it. I have had a lot of small boats over the years being in a number of small commercial fisheries different boats at times for different needs so speaking from experience.
My cousin had a bigger one I went out on a few times and it was better than mine, cant quite remember the length a tad over 5m. Never really went out in his in rough conditions so cant speak much about the larger sizes. Plus mine did also have a maximum weight 4 stroke merc on the back which would not have helped.

I had a ProFish 510
I had a ProFish 510 side consol with a 90HP E-Tec on it and it was a great boat for around Cockburn Sound etc. I even had it over to Rotto diving off it. It was a wet boat at times and the missus hated that. I did enjoy the boat especialy for in close snapper bashing, crabbing and squiding. Only sold it to go bigger to get out deep dropping and stuff.
Easy to launch and retrieve solo as well.
