4.3-4.5 Plate CC's
Submitted by jay_burgess on Thu, 2013-09-05 06:48
In around 12 months I'm hoping to buy a boat. The catch is that I need to be able to fit it in my garage so I'm looking at the 4.3-4.5m sort of size range which is fine as I mainly intend to use it as a spearing boat for inshore work and basically only need room for 4 arses and an esky. Looking for plate centre console options and looking to pair it with a 50-70hp four stroke outboard. Features I would like are transom door, boarding ladder, forward casting platform (will use it for popping when conditions allow), underfloor fuel tank... that's all that comes to mind right now but I'm sure there are other things. Quite like the look of the Formosa Classic 430 & 455 CC.. anyone have any experience with these or have other recommendations?

Gold star
Got one priced a while ago for a 4.6 don't think they do any smaller if you get one with just the motor well and no tranny saves you a heap of money

They do a 4.5, but doesn't say if it's available as a centre console... so far haven't come across anything I like more than the formosa

thats mine
I have the first runabout they made in that size. The freeboard isn't huge but I have never had any problems with it. Its gotta be about as stable a boat could be for a mono at that size. 4mm all round and tough as.

Bullet boats.
Tot, couldn't agree with you more. Think I spoke to you before I brought mine. I have the 4.5 Colt in the centre console.
It's an awsome stable boat. Take the kids out and with the full flat floor and reverse chine you don't have to worry about the boat rocking and them going over the side. Speak to Willie or flick him a email, he can custom build or make any modifications you want.
I have a 40 yamaha, It's a little underpowered but does everything I want it to.
