Brett, have you looked at some of the tube style boats, bit of a secret just how versatile they are, Ill send you some pics of mine if you want a better look, no worries with survey and that stuff

Brand wise mine is an oceancylinder, wouldn't recommend these at present, just a wee bankrupcy prob orca, kiwi craft, customs can be made as well, basically alloy D shape tube welded to heavy plate boats with nice deep V.

The only 1 that wasn't Qld made was kiwi, OC should be back quiet soon, they are great with big fellas my 4.4m has taken loads of 700kg and still very stable, not much fishn room left then, Been quiet popular with Darwin locals the OC,

Cheers Rob

This boat may be a little big but a Fisher plate alloy 4.5 m is my suggestion. I've just christened my new 4.8m side console with a few Awoonga Barra. It handles Moreton bay chop with ease. Basically think of a Quintrex topender and turn it into plate and that's it and for a Topender price. There are quite a few up your neck of the woods.I love mine because of the self draining deck and sealed floor. Mine is going up to Hinchinbrook.Check out the latest Queensland Fishing Monthly for details.

Mackmauler, are OceanCylinder going belly up? I was looking at these about 2 months ago. Visited the factory in redcliffe and they seemed to be going strong. In fact its the same factory as Pacific Sportfish (Now called DeepVee I think??), and there was probably a half a million bucks in boats in the factory..

It would be sad if OC went under as their boats are excellent (probably one of the most sea worthy small plate boats around) if somewhat expensive..
