My Haines Patriot 680 will be in Perth
My Haines Hunter Patriot 680 will be in Perth for sale soon.
Has a brand new 6.2lt MPI Merc with bravo 3 leg and all smartcraft instrumentation.
Boat has all the fruit. Furuno 585 sounder, garmin 2010c chartplotter, electric thru hull toilet, and heaps of other stuff.
Sterndrive version gives heaps more fishing room compared to outboard ones.
Fantastic riding boat and is hard to beat.
will be chasing offers $85000

Yankee Imports
I just upgraded to a Cobia 21ft Walkaround and I am stoked. The boat is a lot beamier, carries heaps of fuel for extended trips and rides like a dream. I can carry 8 people comfortably and still cruise at 25 Knts with a Yammy V6 150 HP.It has a 2 berth lockable cabin , toilet, 400lts fuel, 120lts fresh water, a live bait tank and aerator, a deck wash and good GPS/Sonar. Be careful with the trailers though. anything over 2.4 mts(I think) you need a Permit to tow. I paid $50K ,the trailer is 12 moths old and is about $15k, the motor about $8 the hull about $27K. a good deal.The motor has 200hrs. The guy brought over from Florida for about $25k cost him $15K plus GST to get it here and about $2.5K to get it registered. A company in Wangara did it for him ?????There is some good bargains about.

keywest
Check out the keywest boats mate.. Distinctive imports I think is the company name that distributes them in Perth...
Some of the footage, of the boat broken in half... but still up and cruising along is pretty funny but impressive...
