Hey everyone Im looking at buying a plastic boat as i just want something to throw in the back of the Hilux and head to rivers around the sunshine coast mudcrabbing. I looked at the pelican range and really like the PREDATOR 103 ,POLY SWIFTS AND THE FINN RANGE. Does anyone have any experience with them ? Im a 100klgs they rate up 270klg just want something for crabbing...Ill run a electric or small motor on the back.

There's a poly mob at Yatala. Just don't ask me to remember their name
They make a 2.4m boat
They're next to Uni-Span and their address is 30 Computer Road Yatala.

Plastic is heavy so check you can move it around without damage and consider a tinny. Lots about used as tenders and lightweight FG as well.

:-? It might still be worth giving Peter Evans (number in the link) a ring not sure about Cunningham but he rang me 2 days ago about buying a new Yamaha outboard?

Peter Evans used to be a sales rep at Cunninghams Marine! He now works for Brisbane Yamaha at Burpengary. If your still interested in a small plastic tender then try "Australian Marine Centre at Springwood.

Funniest thing I've seen is a mate with a muddy on a kayak. The muddy won and he can still have children but it was a close call and lucky day- need a extra hand. Ya just can't lose concentration for a second. Not as easy as you think if there is any weight in em or you weight them for strong currents but Ok well up the creeks. Can launch at places others can't for easy access- some exercise a flick and then come back to check pots.

HA HA HA cormorant i went visual and pictured exactly where the muddy was lol. Mate to be honest ive been in Noosa for 3 months and have had pots stolen and raided and im fed up with it...Kayak to go way way up creeks and not here boats roaring around and having gear raided...Found some good spots already and seen some decent bream , catching alot of bream at moment buy missing my poppers as i reckone that is the best fun fishing for anything.
