GREAT THINGS COME IN THREES

Published: 23 June, 2025

Winners of the Surtees / Yamaha Grand prize, Chloe & her husband Josh, joined Cliff from Surtees Boats, Steve from Yamaha Marine New Zealand and Helen from XPO last Friday to take ownership of the epic 770 Game Fisher.

2025 has been pretty exciting so far for Chloe & Josh – they were married 2 weeks before the Hutchwilco Boat Show, Chloe was celebrating her birthday on the day her win was announced, and just days before handover the couple found out they are expecting a new addition to their family!

Welcome to the Tribe!
