need a boat

[Matt Bell]

I am fishing from the Sunshine Coast off shore and i am looking to by a new boat, i have my eye on 3 types the Kevlacat, Noosacat and Coastalcat all around the 7 to 8m mark, also motor wise Yamy or Suzuki, if anyone has any other boats they think is good i would love to hear

Hi Matt, are you looking to purchase new ?
do you need to trailer the boat or will it be moored/dry stacked ?
Yamaha or Suzuki, what ever is the best pricing as both are excellent motors, if your in the 225 size then i would go the Suzuki purely only because they seem a much sweeter engine with more grunt that the Yammie.

try noosa blue water brokerage they have stuff like that all the time at the marina

pretty enviable position to be in I reckon! of the three you mention, I kind of like the Kevlacat over the other two, but would have any of them, same goes for the Motors, toss a coin type of thing, either Motor will give you good service and performance.

hey matt
not sure if you have purchased yet but if not get a coastal
my neighbor is bob, the builder of them, i have been in his sons 6m 1, best boat ever, if its a fishing boat you want then you cant go past them
but try get a ride in each and compare

What sort of budget do you have? I might know of a 7m Coastalcat with Yamaha motors coming up for sale.

Hey Whitto

Col makes a very nice boat but as Matt seems to be chasing a 7-8m cat the equilivent mono is around 9-10 m and even then will struggle to perform aswell! I dont think Fisher make one that big ?;)

Matt

I own a little Kc (5.2)but if i was looking at sub 7m cat i would seriously consider a Coastal as i still remember how well Ty's ( reefkings) ran. Over 7m it's very differant Noosa has an enclosed cab on it's 7m, big plus imho but once you get to the 8m size i would pick the KC, in that size there awesome! Love to be in the position to choose though!:D

I spotted the same boat this arvo myself! Great buying considering just the hull costs $65 000 to get built. Heard great things about this boat, i was very impressed with the ride the 6m coastal cat gave.
