need some guidiance

[brandy0]

Hello, I am looking to buy a boat in the next few weeks, was wondering if anyone had any input re flat bottom punts vs v-hulled?
Any comments will be appreciated. :banana:

Where will you use it?

Punts are for skimming across flat water.....the deeper the 'V' in a hull, the better it cuts through waves

i had a v-hull, mainly for murray river boating not so much fishing, wasn't big at all but handled flat water pretty good and also took it out just out of the warneet pier and fishing myself 100 kg and my son 35 kg and still going through a little wind no worries, id go with a v-hull rather then a punt. also depends on what your doing in it. cheers

Depends where you fishing?
Depends on your budget?
Depends how mant people you wish with?
Depends how comfitable you want to be?

Hey BrandyO,

I still have my tinny for sale on Ebay under (Awesome 12ft Dehavilland tinny boats/trailers) if you want to get some ideas on what you may need.

Cheers AB.

Where will you use it?

yep this will be the deciding factor
Bays - V Hull
Estuary, lakes and river - Punt

Did you decide?

Im considering getting a second boat for bass, bream, estuary perch, cod and Barra saw quintrex 370 dart looks not bad but am hardly sure if its the right option.
