1972 Pride Premier 4.6m boat?

Post by BenT » Sun Jan 26, 2020 1:24 am

G'day fellas I was just wondering if these pride premiers were good boats? I've actually got one in the backyard I bought years back as a project but gave up with it and ended up buying a 420 dory with a 30hp Yamaha. Now wondering if it's worth doing up (it needs a transom, stringers etc i'll be doing myself) but I have no idea whether these were a good hull or not, seems to be no info on them anywhere. I believe I've seen the exact same hull on other brands than pride but can't remember what the models were called.

I read somewhere on a forum they're as good as any modern hull in that size and have excellent deadrise, but not good freeboard? I'm thinking it would be better than the dory in Western Port. If the waters not dead flat the tinny just rocks up and down makes it hard to relax when fishing
