I feel like I'm talking to myself here lol and sorry if I I'm being a pain, but yet to find something that grabs me.
Can anyone give me any feedback on these boats please - http://www.boatsales.com.au/boats-fo...s=~LastUpdated
Am still looking for a boat as not in a hurry so am being fussy.
Have just found a 2010 Tournament 1750 Tournament and looks very clean and at a good price, but I know nothing whatsoever about them.
Can anyone help me out as to their handling capabilities on the water etc as am curious how they ride and at rest please.
Thanks
I've never been out on a tournament boat, but a few months ago while at Moreton Island I ran into a bloke with one. Can't remember the size, but had a really good look over it and a very long chat. They appear to be a very nice unit - well made. The owner was very impressed with its ride and capabilities.
If I was up for a new boat they would be on the list to look closer at.
I'm a Seafarer man but would have a look at these if I couldn't find a Seafarer.
Good luck hunting, but your doing the right thing by taking your time waiting for the RIGHT one.

I have a 2004 1750 Tournament with a 100hp Yamaha 4str. I have a mate who has a Seafarer Viking and he commented how similar the 2 boats are. The ride is good with good stability at rest. Alright in the bay until it gets over a metre of chop, it handles it but gets a bit bangy (I think any 17 1/2ft boat would have the same problem). I have no qualms taking it out deep dropping off Moreton or fishing out of 1770 in the Bunker Group. Mine has a 90lt underfloor fuel tank and I have a range of about 180klm. Crusing speed at 4300rpm is 23mph. I am selling mine to downgrade to a tinny for $20k to give you some sort of indicator of price (3yr trailer, new GME VHF radio, Garmin 70DV sounder/GPS, Hummingbird 785c2 GPS).
