Just to keep things in perspective guys I see on some of the facebook forums a lot of boat envy and hate..
While its fair play to debate on the different attributes of different boats and brands its laughable some of the attitudes that if you don't own a 7.5 meter Razerline or Amm or performance plate etc that you re doomed to a miserable existence and are obviously a less successful human...
For us the main thing is just getting out there and enjoying nature whether its a family day at beaver cay or the reef for some fishing and an overnighter or a few days camping and barra fishing at Hinchinbrook island....
We use to do the same things in a smaller, much cheaper boat ...Sure this one is much more comfortable and nicer but we also have to work harder now to pay it off and to pay extra running costs....we also found that our initial budget blew out considerably as is often the case with boats..haha..
We don't spend much on material stuff and don't go on holidays and the kids have left home and are financially independent so this is our "forever boat"...
I certainly would advise people not to get caught up in getting something you cant afford to buy and run that puts financial stress on your family but looks great in your driveway and impresses your mates and neighbors and your FB "friends"...
Just be happy with what you have and work towards something more suited but ultimately a 10k boat will still get you out on the water and catching fish..as will a boat from China, NZ , Australia or anywhere else..
tight lines everyone....
