or you can go poly hulls like mine, they are nice and stealth and very quiet so its good for the bream, bass and ep. plus the added bonus of being able to be launched almost anywhere and is almost unsinkable. plus its extremely stable at rest.
negatives are, no casting decks storage is limited. but if you can do it yourself like i did then that sorts it out.

It certainly works if the weather is good offshore as well. Guys in kiwi land take them.offshore.smile0784 wrote:Yep and he can catch some fish on it alsorb85 wrote:Looks really good.purple5ive wrote:And you can see how i have customised mine here

Ive fished mine in ppb on good days for the snapper and then can drive straight down to gippy and fish for bream without changing anything in the boat..
They are quite a versatile boat.
Only thing id love to have in it are some nav lights and a livewell. Nav lights ate coming along slowly. Livewell will take a while. For now i use an esky with a aerator for the bream tournamemts...

Re: need some guidiance
And i went for the centre console option so i didnt get wet. The boat is a dry ride as is but the console makes sure you dont get wet. If your sitting in the back seat you do get a bit of spray occasionally.
