G'day MD
A mate of mine has a 6.5 Centre Console. Big boat. A Rip Tide is measured to the inside of the transom wall...so it ithe 5.5 closer to 6mt. Anyway, I was so impressed with the way Blairs' handled, we are just completing a build of a 6mt Riptide cuddy.
During all this I've got to know Dave quite well...he's a top bloke amazingly talented and will let you know exactly what you will and wont have to spend the oxford scholars on.
I'm sure you've checked out his web site www.riptidealloyboats.com.au
Abotu ahndling it yourself, it all deopends on when you will use it...from a good safe ramp with a pontoon like Mooloolaba...i'd reckon no probs..beach launching with half a metre or so of beach break...different story
Anyway hope this helps
Cheers
Rhys
