They had a fairly good rep for that but have since gone out if business. Not sure if you knew that or not.

Hi Mark, we have the 6.2 centre cab. LOVE it! Ride is awesome in the slop, very dry and tracks really well in swell, very stable at rest with flooded kill tank. Huge deck space for the size of the boat. We recently put trim tabs on ours, mostly to make the transducer read better as it was picking up air bubbles because it is mounted behind the water pick-up - maybe just check that on yours. Powered by 200 yammie. Great boats with a good reputation. We bought 2nd hand 6 months ago and haven't found any cons so far.

The filthy one with attitude is little brother. Clean and cook and drive boat, but don't reverse trailer (But have offered to drive it in forwards a few times;D). Let us know how you go this week with the inspection and test.

Mr Lump You got got me i didn't catch the snapper just put the boat in the right spot that i stole off Muddy.
We thought it was you, recognised the blue bucket hat. thought you guys had a few lures out so didnt want to interrupt .did you guys get anything? we saw heaps busting up but they disappeared whenever we got close enough to put in a cast.

Only someone with a Yamaha would notice a Yamaha hat at 50m! :) Yeah we were trolling with a paravane for schoolies. Got one to the boat and dropped it. Couldn't be arsed with it and went home before the rain. How about you guys?

Ah shame. No good for us either. Tried squidding for zero and fished Curtain on the run in for the same. Nomes got smoked on a placcie on the 2-4kg outfit, lasted about 5 mins and then ran her into the reef. Headed down to the sandhills to get some whiting to save the day when we saw you, only ended up with a few before calling it quits after seeing the rain clouds heading in. Better than sitting at home though.

Now you don't get to read such an honest, realistic report like that in a fishing magazine. Luv it!

The apathy was already in place Fatbuoy after the 3am get up and previous 120 odd kms of trolling and drifting and trolling and drifting and floatlining and trolling and drifting and driving and trolling. Then you hook one bloody fish and drop it beside the boat. That's why we couldn't be arsed. Home was looking quite comfortable.
