I currently have a 2011 tournament 1800 which I need to get rid of due to not having the space for storage anymore.

So I have been looking at fiberglass center or side consoles in the 4.5 to 5.5m, any opinions on make etc that I should keep an eye out for?

Budget will be around $35k

Thanks guys

What sort of fishing do you do and how far offshore do you need to go.?

Probably a bit out of budget but the Signature 543SF is incredible. Search "scottos boat" hereabouts. Mat

Keep a look out for a Haines Hunter 520 prowler. They usually come up for sale under 30k.
Owned one for a couple of years and was a great little centre console.
