If you are prepared to go a bit bigger i would suggest the CruiseCraft Outsider 575. I have had one for 12 months now and it is a very comfortable boat. Handles the rough conditions very well and is a very dry boat. It has a walk around deck which has proved to be a great benefit to be able to get to the front of the boat with ease. Also can sleep two adults in the cuddy cab.

With a 140hp four stroke Johnson motor this rig has proved to be a great offshore and Moreton Bay setup.

There are lots of good boats out there. Do your homework and ask for a test drive before buying anything.
