ive talked to the financial officer {the missus} and weve decided in about 18 months we are gonna buy a decent sized boat ,,,prolly from about 4mtr up to about 6mtr ,,,ide like to get one secondhand as i want to set it up so its fully useable and have no wasted space ,,,the 3 kids love fishin and the missus so it will have to be fairly big to take us all comfortably,and it will need to be fairly open ,,,what sort do you guys recommend ,,,,thanx,,oh yeah its gotta be alloy too haahahaha
thanx jas This post has been edited by jasonb: Mar 29 2008, 02:03 AM -------------------- allways in the shit ,its just the depth that varies

4 metres is a bit small for your clan.
I only have 2 kids and want a 6mtr++ but will probably end up with a 5.7mtr only because of the shed I have to store it in. -------------------- Don't tell anybody but my name is Fushin Freddie

Price will depend on the type of alloy boat you're looking @
boats like the one in the link are alot cheaper opposed to a boat with gunnels & closed transom --------------------  Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

oh yeah ,i dint look for gunnells ,i would rather one with gunnels so i can mount rod holders and other things as well ,thanx mate ,,,,it will prolly only get used around here and the odd trip to the coast ,but it will stay inside because im not confident enough to go outside with the family

if you can find one the Quintex hunter/reef is a great boat (like mine) could pick one up for about 8-10K and is 4.6m.
Your ebay one is a bit old i'd pass on that one. look at boatpoint.com.au or something like this http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-sale....aspx?R=2905684 or this http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-sale....aspx?R=2902954 or this http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-sale....aspx?R=5393168 Cant go past a quintrex If you change your mind on fiberglass look at Cruise Craft their older boats are fantastic!

the first and third ones are nice mr pirate ,,i think ide prefer a side or centre consule but in alloy ,,ive had 2 glass boats that ive fully restored and they cost a lot of money and time to look after ,,plus it will mainly be used inland in the lakes so itll need to be pretty stump and rock proof , plus the alloy will be alot lighter to tow and muck around in ,,,,,,,,,

Jas been giving this some thought u ask what type of boat o.k.it has to be alloy that we know, what we don't know is how old are the kids if they are still quite young u may be better off buying a cudy or half cab to give them some were out of the sun on a hot day

yeah poly i thought of that too,but half or cuddies would be deaer as poison in alloy wouldnt they ,,the kids are 10 ,9 5 ,so i want it to last for years as they love fishin too ,that s why i thought go big now then i dont have to upgrade in about 5 years , dont the centre consules have fairly big bimini tops ,,,,?if not i could get a full top made properly just for fishin ,,,,,

jas i don't like bimini tops much as the dam things seem to get in the way, maybe a t top would be better, but i would think j.g. or frank will know more than me on that one

Nothin wrong with that boat daniel...
Id prefer it then both of our quintrex's... My advice to you Jason is to wait it out... Dont rush into it. look at my boat i got it for a great price because of waiting for the right one and finding someone who just wanted the money... Keep your options and ears open. Im currently looking at an alluminium boat next door to my dads mates place. Hasnt been moved or started in over 10 years but if i could get it for 1500-2000 i beleive i could make a profit on it. Its around a 4.5m savage with a 2 stroke(dont no hp) anchor n the back... i dont think it would start now... If you where looking for something like this jason let me know and ill give you details... |

QUOTE (kkw @ Apr 13 2008, 05:07 PM) Why Poly? Is there something I am missing? Looks o.k. to me yep there is kk as u most likely know polys are a very different beast to a glass or alloy boat . the fist thing that worry's me is the center concole and how it has been fixed to the boat 2 the seats fitted in the rear of the boat they are on a sealed section the if u drill in to u will void the warranty of the boat plus it may sink when flood, on the new ones that airier is foam filled 3 the port and starboard lights are badly placed in other words he has cut holes in the hull for no reason, the lights could have been put on the console 4 the fount hand rails have been removed why??????? 5 that battery box were has he fitted it, under one of those rear seats i bet.
