Ali boat kit 5.5-6.5mtrs
Submitted by timboon on Thu, 2020-10-01 22:42
I'm thinking about taking the plunge and getting a boat builder mate of mine to knock me up a boat...I'm pretty sure he mostly uses the Jackman style kits but i thought I'd put it out there if anyone knows a cracking boat in the length mentioned above...

Yeah they do Feral, love the
Yeah they do Feral, love the air riders but for some reason I've always been of the uninformed opinion you need to be getting a decent length boat for the air riders to start to perform but as I said that is my uninformed opinion so if others here have an opinion feel free to let me know otherwise.
Also from what i've seen on the net, an air rider kit is a pretty expensive start to the build compared to most others.

there is a yanmar powered airider on gumtree (around 24foot though)- it looks like a really solid boat but finished to a commercial look! - dont know why it is still forsale as it seems well priced at ~45k?

Serious looking craft
Serious looking craft forsure Pelagic!
Throw 12k into a new trailer and you'd have a good boat for a long time....

Yeah Andy I like the idea of a WA cab but if its a well enough designed boat with an anchor winch then happy to have a cab without forward walking access...
I'm pretty sold on the forward raking screen though regardless of what boat I end up with!
I really dont see the need at all for reverse raking unless windage is a huge issue!!
