Boat downgrade for house deposit, recommendations.
Submitted by Josh on Sat, 2014-10-11 13:56
HI Guys,
I am thinking of downgrading the Trailblazer to put a bit of money into the house deposit, but I dont think I could do without a boat.
I have always had aluminium boats, was either thinking of getting a big open tinny, like a makocraft truck or maybe getting a rib?
Anybody owned a rib? Are there any extra costs assoiated with a rib over an aluminum boat? Extra maintenence on pontoons? Are they actually a nicer ride? I have seen a few around the 10-15k mark in the 5-6m range. Still wanting something good to shoot over to rotto, but still be able to pull a skier and pots, along with free diving for crays.
Cheers,
Josh

Awesome to dive out of. Low
Awesome to dive out of. Low sides make it really easy to get in and out. Light on fuel because the Bulls are fairly light. Deep v with a cushion side rides well and they are generally fairly dry for an open boat.
Downside is that they have low sides so hard to stand up and fish. Nothing to really brace against. Hard to put rod holders in them too.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
