Sounds fair enough to me mate.
Have you driven the other ones for comparison before?
The reason I ask as sometime in the future I might be looking for something in that range....

Re: Expensive Boat Show
There certainly is a lot of boat for the $. There seems to be some competition in the ally / glass choices seeing what was on show this year. Look forward the the pics of your rig.scott__henning wrote:There's a few reasons. More boat for your $$$, weight (I do a lot of towing), easier to clean and so on.ratbag wrote:Great looking boats, Scott. Why ally over a glass hull?
Our last fibreglass boat cracked from transom to bow, turned me off fibreglass.
Lastly, the Extremes are just such great looking boats, and the ride quality is up there with the fibreglass's
