Re: Boat show
Went today and think I've fallen for the Bar Crusher 615br. We want an upgrade to do a bit more skiing but I still want a decent fishing boat for casting both fresh and salt water. Anyone heard anything good/bad about this model??

Re: Boat show
That's all they are. Identical hull specs and shape except for its length. The 21 looks like a cut down 675. The promised 19 will probably just be a 600 hull and the 17 a 535 profish hull with 'retro' looking top decks.purple5ive wrote:Asking the wrong person.

At 54k for just the hull. Plus another 40k per outboard and another 15-20k for the trailer. It wasn't looking cheap.
Plus all the other electrics and stuff
The cruise crafts were pretty sick I must say.
Seen a few bream boats I wouldn't have minded. And also the extreme centre console that was nice.
Was nice to see quite a few different boats there. And also had a good chat to the guys from.polycraft about up coming models and few other poly boat related things
Apart from the obvious fact they are made by Haines I got nfi about them apart from the fact they did look awesome
I'll take the original Haines versions or a modified Apache hull instead

Re: Boat show
You need a 9-10 foot rod to clear the outboards when snapper fishing and good luck if you had a barrel on with a 5’6 rod and it changed direction and went around the back corner of the boat.cobby wrote:That's all they are.

Re: Boat show
Transom mount guessing these guys are looking at chasing swords with a unit like this. Awesome purchase.ducky wrote:275lhwrb85 wrote:I would have thought a unit like that you would select a transducer most suitable to the fishing your doing.ducky wrote:Can’t remember seeing any promo girls.
The cruise craft f360 was dead sexy. The signature 788 was a weapon. The southern formula 24 looks good but would be a pr*ck to fish out of. The 21 looks like a choad.
Couple of blokes I was with dropped a small fortune on simrad 12” evo 3 setups which look absolutely amazing even if the transducer is the size of a house brick.
What’s the transducer model?

Ones going on a 445f currently being rebuilt. The other on a 565. Both boats will be going barrel hunting and up the coast for Marlin and ****.rb85 wrote:Transom mount guessing these guys are looking at chasing swords with a unit like this.
