Hey mate. I'm definitely no
Hey mate. I'm definitely no expert, and not familiar with Busselton so dunno how far out u would be going to get to 60-70m, but I used to have a 5.4ally with a 90hp, and would only make it out the the 50s metro on really good days, so I would wonder if maybe going a bit bigger may be an option? The spots I used to go I would be pretty nervous in anything under 5m, but then again depends on experience and skill I guess.

For that sort of $ you
For that sort of $ you certainly wouldn't get much. If your thinking about going to them depths I wouldn't go any smaller than about 18 foot. Better to invest more coin .

It is a long run back if the weather turns bad, just not safe to go that far in a small boat. Fishing that wide you need a good engine and boat. Might be better to do some charter fishing.
I fish a 4m offshore pick my days and stay within the safe limits of the boat to make back to port. 4-5nm about as far as i am willing to go in case I need to dash back.
Cheers
