How's it going.
Does any one have one of these in around the 435 to 500mts size or been in one.
I want it for fishing lakes to snapper to bream plus I would like to make it into a CC and put a 60hp 4str on the back.
I'd love to know how they handle in the chop and if there stable for flicking SP's.
Thanks.

This boat was my second choice after the bluefin but it didn't stack up for me as far as cost went so i bought the fin and got a few extras for my boat ...matt

A mate of mine has a 4.55 tabs sportfisher side console, casting decks, rod locker, live bait tank, tournament tank etc, has a 60hp merc 4 stroke.
I and several others think it is a very wet boat, also we think it is slightly underpowered.
However it is very stable at rest, and a very solid boat.....
P.S.....It has leaked water since purchased brand new, so badly that my mate uses the bilge pump every hour or so.
Marty,

Marty,

Man that sound's like a warranty job he should take it back and get it re-welded.
My other choice is the quintrex 450 fishseeker with a 50 yammy 4st.
I spoke to a dealer today who is finding out if I can get it without the thwart seats,at least no back one.
I don't mind the front one to convert into a casting deck but because I do bait fishing also I need the back of the boat open to the transom.

bluefin59,
Thanks for your reply.
