I am looking for a small, high sided dinghy in aluminium about 12-13ft. If I can get one I plan to instal a casting deck over the front thwart and a low deck in the body, plus various other mods, rails, side decks, tank racks etc. Who does this kind of work near Hornsby in Sydney? Basically, I'm looking to save on the new price of such boats as Nomad delux, Kakadu Karrier, etc. Sometimes features I want are only available in 4.1 or 4.2 metres up, and I'm looking for something I can handle on mud ramps and river banks, so small is beautiful. :)

I would suggest that a Bluefin 3.9 would be along the lines of what you are chasing, problem is they are made on the gold coast so you will need to find a dealer close to you.
Cheers Kev

Thanks fellas, I guess I like to try before I buy, so that rules out a QLD boat, brum.bs, but the 4.1 Clark will go on my list as will the Bluefin, Kev.
cheers,
