get good reviews
I would go 560 CC myself. tough, simple, easy maintenance boats and put the max rated donk on the back.
got mates in Vic who swear by them.
the lads at offshore are always keen to take people out for a test drive.
Would be in my top 2 choice of boat.

if your after one ... the boys at offshore marine busselton are closing down and selling them at "special" prices ... not really sure how good the pricing is but it might be worth a phone call

i remember over a yr or so ago, i was keen on purchasing one, busso, they guy then after i asked for a better deal, said yeah i,ll wack a 2 stroke on it and drop it 5,000
and put on a 2 stroke..
no deal.. was a rip off. sure they r good boats, but for the price.....
they should be a lot bigger.i open my kill tank on my south bound, and it does act as a ballast in choppy seas and 4 or more aboard.. i think they would be good 7metre + especially for the price

Got a 560C with 140 Suzuki
Very happy with it. Good ride, good fishing set up, good trailer and I like the folding roof makes for easy garaging and less wind resistance when towing. Couple of little bitches are the windscreen surround is in my line of vision when standing and when on the plane weight must be distributed evenly. Both easily fixed, I got a foam rubber thingy from the boat shop to stand on and you could get trim tabs but weight distribution is easy. Came with bulk rod holders, plumbed live bait tank, bait board, clears, extendable roof, sarca anchor etc. Anything else you want to know fire away.

The only boat to get for
The only boat to get for them waters is a centre console. leave the half cabins for these southern cold waters, in the barra creeks, or battling GT & spanish your better off having the use of the whole boat. tinnys are not a bad idea easyer to fix if you bump into a hidden rock bar.
By Hook or Spear, its all good..
