Keen Pt Chev boatie and fisher Chen (Steven) Chang and his family, wife Wei, 10-year-old daughter Alice and 7-year-old son Edison have won the 2022 Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show Surtees/Yamaha Grand Prize Boat Package
Steven Chang and his family attended the show, at the Auckland Showgrounds in Greenlane, Auckland on Thursday, May 12. Steven is already a boat owner (with a 6.5 boat) and a keen fisher whose largest fish to date has been an 82cm snapper, caught while fishing “outside” the Manukau Bar with friends. He says the 7.5m Surtees 750 Game Fisher (powered by a 250hp Yamaha and fitted with a new Yamaha Helm Master EX boat control system) is his dream boat.
“Our current boat is too small to take out the family,” he says. “Now I will be able to take Wei, Alice and Edison and really go exploring and catching more fish!”
He says his new Surtees 750 Game Fisher is “the perfect boat” for safely crossing the Manukau Bar with his family and friends and is also looking forward to exploring places like White Island and landing one of his dream fish, a hapuku.
