 The story of a boat, Hy 470 Fly, by Hiros Yacht!

Even though several years have passed, the story of a Hy470Fly Hiros Yacht fishing boat began when, like many other predator fishermen, I decided to look for the best boat for myself. The dream of being the happy owner of a bassboat was, however, far from the reality of my budget and needs.

Aluminum or fiber?

So what boat did I need? A light boat that can glide quickly and be able to transport at a reasonable speed (35-40 km / h) two fishermen with their luggage. Preferably one that requires a 15-20 hp engine for this operation, at the registration limit. Depending on the changes I needed, sooner or later (fishing platform, electric motor, livewell), I was willing to increase the engine power to 30 or 40 hp. On top of that, it had to be light, to be able to launch it easily into the water in places where the ramps are bad or non-existent. Even if aluminum boats fit better in this category, we found a fiberglass variant. 

Estonia, Team Hungary, fishing boats Hy470Fly Hiros Yacht

I first saw Hy470Fly in 2015, at the World Boat Fishing Championship at FIPS Raptors in Estonia.

They were the official boats of the Hungarian team, made especially for them by the Hiros Yacht company. Strictly designed for fishing, with front and back platforms.

Quickly sliding a fiberglass boat with three people on board, powered by an engine of only 10 hp, seems like a utopia. Not for this trimaran.

Despite the fiberglass construction and the modifications made to the platforms and storage spaces, Hy 470 Fly weighed only 200 kg, without engine.

These fiberglass trimarans impressed me at first sight, seeing the Hungarian team fishing for them.

The length of 4.65 m was enough for three people, two fishermen and a referee.

Peter Sztahovits, Hy470Fly

Peter Sztahovits, a member of the Hungarian national team, explained to me that they did not put bigger engines on these boats, because this is the power limit in Hungary to drive without a license. And 10 hp are enough for them, the boat slides quickly and travels at 32-35 km / h with two fishermen and equipment. Later I found out that the 10 hp Suzuki engines, with which the boats were equipped, were tuned to 17 hp.

Bela Lukacsi, Hy470Fly

A year later I saw this boat model again at Bela Lukacsi, field tester and member of the Salmo Hungary team, this time equipped with a 40 hp engine. I asked Bela how fast she was moving - "About 59 km / h", she answered me. He explained to me that due to the small draft he felt the need for an engine larger than 20 hp, in order to be able to go on big waves without splashing.

F&H Expo 2017, Hiros Yacht - Romania

The F&H 2017 fair followed, where I reviewed the Hy 470 FLy and decided that this boat fits exactly my requirements. Manufacturer (www.hirosyacht.hu) and the Romanian distributor (www.faimoasabarca.ro) considers that Hy Fly 470 will have at least the same success with us as in Hungary, because it is suitable for water and fishing for predators in Romania, and the basic model (optional color, special non-slip carpet, cleats, anchor roll, twine support , bilge pump, LEDs, control panel, stainless steel railing, compartments, towing hooks, casting seats, etc.) cost 3600 euros. Said and done, in the spring of 2017 I was in Kecskemét, at the company Hiros Yacht, Hungary, and for three days I witnessed the production and equipment of a Hy470FLy boat, from the exit of the mold to the installation of aluminum profiles, carpet, seats, console, accessories, heat engine and sonar.

Hy 470 Fly, step by step

For the first time in my life, I saw how the layers of fiberglass needed to make boats are made.

This is what a Hy470Fly boat looks like before equipment. After leaving the mold, the lids of the five caissons are attached (storage spaces).

In the yard of the Hiros Yacht, the operation of washing the boat follows, the fiberglass dust being completely removed.

Aluminum profiles add design to the boat, but also help stabilize the carpet that covers the front and rear platforms.

For the application of carpet, the company Hiros Yacht has a specialist who comes only for this operation. Superpriceput.

At the same time as the carpet is being installed, the rest of the accessories are not in place, each employee knows exactly what he has to do.

Other fishing boats like Hy470Fly

In addition to Hy 470 Fly, Hiros Yacht produces three more models of boats Hy 5.0 Fish, Hy 520 Kingfisher, Hy 520 Kingfisher SC and is the official importer of Kimple and Saver Italy yachts.

The placement and adjustment of the boats on the peridoc is done with the help of pulleys and chains, it seems child's play.

Time or money

Before I witnessed the production of this boat, I had a totally wrong opinion about the prices that involved the platforming and carpeting of a boat. Naturally, they seemed huge and unjustified. Now, seeing the volume of work and the costs of the materials used, I began to understand why it costs so much. Believe me, it's not much. 

Engine 10-40 hp or 60 hp? Yamaha be!

The Hy470Fly is designed to glide with a 10 hp engine. The maximum engine accepted by the boat mirror is limited to 40 hp, I opted for a Yamaha of 30 hp, in my opinion enough to reach a speed of 40 km / h. From what I understand, the boat's mirror can be further strengthened, there are owners who have put 60 hp engines, in this case the maximum speed exceeding 70 km / h.

Installing gadgets

And if everything is new, we also put a suitable sonar. At that time, the best value for money was a Helix 9 Mega SI CHIRP, also bought and installed from Hiros Yacht.

The premium Tempress seats, made in the USA, perfectly complemented the boat's design. I'm not saying anything about comfort, it's obvious. 

The steering wheel controls, gearbox, indicator clock, sonar and other electrical parts are again fitted only by one employee. The typical genre.

All fishing boats Hy470 Fly Hiros Yacht are equipped with dowels, distribution board, anchor roller, bilge pump, towing hooks. 

The rear platform is equipped with three storage spaces for the tank, batteries, life jackets. Sufficiently spacious, with easy access.

Atilla Farkas, owner, designer, engineer of Hiros Yacht, always takes care of the last details. Hy 470 Fly is his soul project.

Luxury driver

My boat was the first model to benefit from this type of Tempress driving seat. The console is made in Hungary.

Peridoc

I used my peridoc for transport, but there is also the possibility of purchasing a special peridoc, made in Poland, at a cost of 1,000 euros + taxes.

Good night Hy470Fly

The last day of equipment should have been 48 hours from my point of view. Hy 470 Fly is a time consuming project. At the same time as the final details of my boat were being finalized, six simple boats were produced, prepared and delivered to the factory, the time being divided equally for both operations. Again, I understand how much work needs to be done to produce such a boat. We finished the night, exhausted, but fully satisfied with what had come out.

Back to Romania

When I returned to the country, I completed the Hy 470 Fly with Minkotta Terrova Ipilot 55 electric motor, a must have 2017, at least for me.

After the first rain I realized that I have an automatic bilge pump, which removes water from the boat instantly. Dude, the cover, I forgot to take the cover!

Well, where do we make a cover quickly and to measure? Phone book, call Dan Giorghiu (Joy equipment): "Now I'm coming to make me a custom suit!"

The project could not be completed without a little branding, of course Strike Pro, the company that sponsors me in the national championship.

The boat was fully equipped for my needs. Still, I felt like I was a little bigger and taller.

The only thing I changed about the Hy 470 Fly was the engine propeller, one step faster, for extra speed. I did not gain more than 2.3 km per hour.

Test Hy470Fly Hiros Yacht. Sărulești, Argovei Valley, Danube, Danube Delta, Bicaz.

What I can tell you with all my heart is that this trimaran, thanks to the three kilos, even if from the front it looks like a pedal boat or a spade, at a length of 4.70 meters, is by far the most stable boat I have. fishing. The keels perfectly break the waves in motion without throwing water into the boat, with the 30 hp engine running at 42-45 km / h depending on the luggage and one more person. The boat slides instantly, the consumption is exactly the one given by the Yamaha manufacturer, in the conditions of a request at 5,200 rpm.

Ipilot need

Indeed, the boat is quite low, so exposed to large waves coming from behind or from the side. We solved this problem using an electric motor with anchoring function. Thus the waves break nicely in front of the boat, sliced like a book by the three kilos. Apart from the waves made by a fast Navrom that makes waves of over a meter on the Danube, waves that I took being stationed with my back to them, I never took water. Either wind and waves on Isaac, anaphora on the Danube or bad weather on the big lakes. 

Hy515Fly 

A year later Hiros Yacht started a new project, Hy 515 Fly. Instead of 4.65 m, it was 5.15 m, 185 cm wide (compared to 180 cm), 23 cm higher. Normally, compared to the 200 kg of the Hy 470 Fly, this model will weigh 50 kg more. The boat was equipped as standard with livewell, rod compartment and many other surprises. Engine level 30-70 hp. A project that I also helped with, both in design and equipment. These models are no longer available, meanwhile the HY 525 Fly has been launched.
