    That sort of range / economy would be awesome.

    Sellers can be know to overstate things from time to time tho

    Any pictures ?

    Koastal if I were you I would be going 150's in Yam or Merc but you are crazy to be repowering here if you are getting a boat shipped over. You could save thousands by buying new motors in the states, leave them and the rigging gear in crates and have them put on the back of the boat for the trip over.

    Is it in transit yet? Certainly worth your while to buy in the US as it wont cost you any more for shipping surely.

    Must be planing on bringing some special air drop packages back as I can't figure out why tf you would want to go all that way when you can catch all the fish you can legally bring home from the likes of 1770 in a day or two. F@#k that for a joke, but each to their own.

    Life's too short to fish from the bank and you can't take money with you when you die so buy a boat stupid

    .

    Ah I don't know Gr0wler. We go out to the Swains in my 7.4m boat every year (I know this is a lot further) but the GT's we get out there and the numbers make it worth it. Cant get them at 1770 in the number or the size. Same as the reefies. We know we will get great fish around the Percy group and it is a great place to camp as well. Mission to get there but wouldn't change it for anything. Going to Cato would be Awesome but I wouldn't want to be doing it in anything over 10 knots. I'd want auto pilot as well LOL.

    Boats in transit tomorrow. Will heed your advice in regard to larger motors.

    Probably go 135 mercury 4 strokes as. I believe they are de-rated 150 and will make the same power in that critical 3800 - 4300 rpm, awaiting some data to confirm this theory though.
    They are quite light at 206 kgs and save quite a lot of money over the 150's

    I looked at purchasing the motors there but value the warranty that comes with local purchase. Price with the weak dollar wasnt as good as it has been and you still have to pay gst

    No Packages haha - Main reason is the adventure and pelagics, wahoo and dogtooth I hope.
    Can always come home via 1770 to catch some reds.

    Re: Long range trailer boat

    He wants 100k it's on boat sales..... there's a 2004 26" for 85k with 400h didn't have location might be worth a look if someone is wanting a larger cat ....most of those bigger boats have been for sale for 6 months or more and towing would play a big part it that with the need of larger tow vehicle

    Ok ta - will pass. Good looking boat, protection from the elements with that hard top. Has all the bells and whistles with radar / chirp etc. 860 hrs so well used Would have suited my brother perfectly. He fishes bass straight.
    My long term plans are more tropical and love the Renegade layout. Planning on getting the best wet weather gear money can buy tho. Also brand new motors are a big part of the long range confidence thing.
