Hi guys I am looking at getting back into a boat and am wanting something for Moreton bay and the local estuaries. I have been checking out the boat sites on the net and was considering the differing merits of different boats.
Must haves:
forward casting deck; full floor; underfloor storage; stability (I'm over 100kilo); good bad weather performance
Wants:
4-5m but will consider slightly under 4m
Electric motor
Live bait tank
Recent model
Currently I'm looking at Quintrex wide body dories as they seem to be plentiful and within my price range (up to $7.5K) also I'v seen brooker fisheman; seajay anglers; and stessl edge tracker (3.85 starting to get too small in my opinion)
It will be exclusively a fishing platform as I consider fishing to be the only form of powered water sports ;D so any opinions gratefully received and considered.
Thanks
