[rumy1]

All I can say is "you lucky b**stard". The Patriot 6.8m looked great, are you heading out this week-end ? I am not sure who said was getting it but he is from Boyne Island.
You'll have to post some pics !!!!

[Stubbie Holder]

That's four that I know of in this area. They truly are great boats, just had mine down at H. Bay for a week and it trailered down and back very easily.

Stubbie!

Hey Stubbie Holder, are you going out this week-end ?

[soulfish]

stubbie holder nice boat mate .What have you got on the back?I spoke to a 6.8 patriot owner a couple of months back and he said a lot of guys down victoria order the 7m model (for twin rigs) and run with a single.I have seen one also with a 250 verado(not sure if it"s 6.8 or 7m).Do you think a patriot running a verado would be better suited to the 7m hull because of the extra bouancy and weight of these engines or it wouldn"t matter?(around 300kg) just curious.

cheers

hi there welcome to the patriot team there should be more around everyone should have one,mines got a yammy 225 4stroke and i luv it cheers cr

[OPTI]

have all you patriot lovers ever noticed that one gunnel is higher than the other.looks like a bit of a twist in the hull?:-/

[OPTI]

come on all you patriot lovers ,do me a favor and measure from the chine to the gunnel on both sides.either its bent or i have a luftkin that doesnt read back to back measurements:-/

[Spaniard_King]

225's are great.. but you aint been in a patriot till youve been in a 7m with twin 150's :D

[OPTI]

all you patriot luvers gone shy,or just realised you got a twisted hull:P

[captain rednut]

hi i will be having a close inspection and i will return to let you know, i have not seen or heard of this im keen to find out, anyway we are leaving now for a bottom bash out on the reef for the day and hopefully can reply with some pictures too? cr

[captain rednut]

re the twisted hull not true, and as for the gunnel to the chine measurement reads 1715 mm on both sides using a straight edge and level so you must of seen a one of. because i didnt get one of those special models, and if they had a known twisted hull the word would be out and they woudlnt be able to get dollars they sell for and wouldnt be so popular cheers cr

I Was Doing A Repower On One 2 Weeks Ago And During The Measure Up Stage I Discovered A 25 Mm Difference From The Chine To The Flange On The Transom,maybe A One Off But I Doubt It ,it Also Seemed That Everything Hooked To The Right From The Transom Foward,i Guess Nothing Is Ever Straight In A Boat But It Did Grab My Attention.
And Death Ship If I Wanted One Id Have One,i Actually Got A New Eden-craft 233 Being Built Right Now.8-)

[captain rednut]

hi opti ask warren at ######### to put a twist in the hull for you as i dont want to be in an elite class on my own, and by the way my other boat ive owned a formula 233 1969 model thunderbird is as straight as a dye and yes its good to see warren building an awsome product and i wont be selling mine cheers cr
