Formosa Tomahawk

[Luke G]

Any new reviews on these boats?

The look alright, 5083 plate hulls and sides, fully wlded side decks, reasonable ammount of standard features. 4mm plate all round, 3mm floor. 17 degree deadrise.

Im looking at getting a 5.2 territory.


Cheers

I would say that the boat you are looking at would be very nice. A good bay/creek boat.

Im not sure about the integrity of them but to my eye they are one ugly design-the lines just don't look right

I do some contract work with the manufacturer of Tomahawks, and happen to know exactly about the integrity of them.
I suggest that you put them on your short list and look at Tomahawks further.

There are guys in urangan Hervey Bay that make plate boats to order give them a call probably better then a production boat and not a bad price either good quality welding and boat

Ended up going with an origin, going to take a few months, but should be good!

goodluck mate with that. What convinced you?

[Luke G]

Cheers i can get cheeper and custom so i can get what i want

Good luck with the new rig Luke G, you've said you are getting an Origin built cheaper than you can buy a Formosa, what have you ordered?

[Luke G]

Im get a 5m axis rear center console barra boat probably go a 140 lean burn suzuki on it, cheers

It's somewhat surprising that you can get a custom built plate boat cheaper than a production built plate boat... what's going on there? what does this say about the current state of the industry, and the boat builders?
For the record;I'd pick an origin build over a tomahawk build every day of the week! the tomahawk shape just looks hard riding to me.
