The Surtees 495 Pro Fisher 2026 is a V-hull design and the Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 measures 20,0 feet overall (2026), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Surtees 495 Pro Fisher 2026 at 16,2 feet (2026). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 tips the scales at 2 866 lbs - 1 246 lbs less than the Surtees 495 Pro Fisher 2026 at 1 620 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 100 hp, the Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 has a 25-hp advantage over the Surtees 495 Pro Fisher 2026's 75-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Surtees 495 Pro Fisher 2026 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Surtees 610 Workmate 2026 could be the deciding factor.
