I’ll speak to my friend about maybe getting the tinny but he gets a bit sea sick it’s not real bad but if the boats constantly rocking he might get sick that’s all I was told fiberglasses are more stable
best thing to do first then is to go and hire a boat from the mornington boat hire place and see if this is what you guys want, can handle and are happy to fish out of.
they have tinnies, and also polycraft boats(very stable)

If memory serve me right, you are still in high school right @ e.welch?

Assuming your friend is also of a similar age, then would it be advisable for you to purchase a boat?

From memory, you mentioned you are being uber to and from fishing spots by your parents, then how are you guys going to tow the boats around? Hope your friend can drive.

Of course one can purchase a boat if and when he desired but owning a boat will brings with it A LOT of responsibility - for your safety first but also for others. Don't forget the ongoing costs of maintenance and ensuring the boat is safe to take out. Trust me, i am learning it the hard way right now :-D

If you forge ahead with the idea, do give Polycraft a consideration - stable at rest and the hull solid. Look at the old Tuffy. There's a good chance you can get one within your budget.

Best of luck :tu:

That's the best outcome having an adult family member to guide you into boating.

Good luck with purchase :gj: :tu:
