I did go to the boat show today but so far I've only bought 10 squid jigs + case for $39

I'm seriously considering a Mclay 521 Sportsman, I'll decide in the next couple of days when they email me a final quote.

I'll be looking at a couple of extras, particularly a bow mounted 12V 55lb trolling motor which eliminates the need for an anchor winch (very similar in costs) and perhaps an upgrade on the Lowrance as well.

How many knots will the boat do with a 70hp suzk on it...

Now that's exactly why I don't want to go to the show! -the Kiwi's sure do know how to make nice alloy boats...

I actually forgot to ask lol, all the salesman said was that it would fly. I was interested because it was only $1400 extra and it should have to work less hard than a 60hp.

FYI Minn Kota are offering their SW Terrova RT55SP I-pilot 54" 12V for $2,149 a discount of $1,490 off RRP

I've missed out on getting a quote for some LED lighting, spots from the rocket launcher in to the cockpit.

it was a pain at the show trying to get quotes because the wi-fi at Jeff's Shed is absolutely appalling.

Discount seems somewhat light on to me, most others seemed to be doing better than 3.2%.

I'd probably delete the kill tank; it isn't standard and actually reduces the fuel capacity to 60l and it isn't insulated so I'd rather take an ice filled esky to make my slurry

Yes, though they probably won't be able to do so until after the show. Their quotes are both good for 2 weeks so I have a little time.

Fortunately I'm retired so I can do it weekdays.
