As the title says ,any experience or thoughts with blackdog cats .

After seeing some videos on youtube they are out in some lumpy seas.

Good to see a boat in some rough stuff .

I've been out on my mates 545 in Perth a few times and have nothing but good words to say. Handles very well in rough weather and a very well made boat. Plenty of room, very stable and rides comfortably fanging it in and out.

 Dinghy world in Como are the dealers for Perth, apparently they have a 440 tiller coming in july/august.

 

A mate and i were looking at boats/tinnies to go halves in and settled on te 440 tiller for an ultimate tough tinnie. Options are pretty expensive though, looked much more viable to get a local guy to modify it to suit & build our own trailer & fitout ourselves too. 680 might be a differnet story though

I’m liking the single donk

Current project boat is a 5m Markham Whaler, im still deciding how to set her up. It's going to be a single donk and it will either be a big tiller on the back open boat style or a centre console.
