Remarks GAF VI is a remarkably well built and well maintained sportfishing vessel. She will truely impress those that have the opportunity to inspect her.
An astounding sea boat, as stable a platform as was ever built to fish from. We have personally inspected this vessel and found her to be in like new condiition! For those who have fished the Carolinas, Omie Tillett was a builder who only knew how to build quality, the care that went into the construction shows through today as well as the care the current owner has given her. Both the hull and the enignes were done to military specs!
