Re: Hi Fellas and after some boat advice.
That is a legit steal
My old man wants 6k for a 3.8m with a 15 mercury, which is a reasonable buy as it is.
If that's legit, the guy has rocks in his head. Easy 15k+ boat.

Re: Hi Fellas and after some boat advice.
I’ve sent him a message, I’m up in QLD at the moment but I’ll send a friend to suss it out if it’s still available. Hopefully it’s not too good to be true.

Re: Hi Fellas and after some boat advice.
Never got a response unfortunately.
I had a look at some boats up in QLD and went out on a boat. Seems like the market is much bigger in QLD and the boats are a bit cheaper. I went out on a Stessl 485 Apache side console which has shown me that I definitely want something in that size. It felt huge compared to the other boats I've been on. I think the full transom and lack of a rear casting deck are also things I want. The Stessl also has the console a bit more forward than other boats which meant more room for bait fishing out the back.

Re: Hi Fellas and after some boat advice.
If you are looking at that size make sure it is over the minimum size for the PFD requirements.
