Centrecab......whaddya reckon?
Submitted by seaman on Tue, 2010-02-09 19:16
Down at Wakemaker Marine today.....looking at getting a boat built, very similar to the centrecab they're building ATM. I really like the transom layout, full frames, deep vee and there's just so much room inside and out for a 2.5m beam C/cab!

If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Only a few. Couple of young
Only a few. Couple of young blokes...compared to me, did their apprenticeship together at the old Razerline/Hampton Yachts.
They're in a nice new shed in Bibra Lake and have all kinds of expensive looking machinery. Seem to know their stuff and said they have entered a boat in boat of the year. Keen to see how they go.
Anyone dealt with them before? I see Choongy on here has one but no updates.

First swim
Only put it in the water for the first time just on dark last Saturday. Still got a few touches to finish it off. I'll put up a bit of a run down on the process, and how it seems to go shortly. Shoot me a PM if you want to have a chat before then.
Cheers, Choongy

ive not seen that brand before but the next boat i get will have that layout . id probably move the console back a little and put fuel further forward to balance it back a bit . (not sure if that will work tho) but being at the back gives a better ride :) .. what lenth are you thinking and approx price if you dont mind ??

sweet boat
gs marine place the console way back near the transom and push the fuel tank up close to the bow to balance the boat so it should work
looks very professional and good lines.
would definitely be my style of boat at above 5.5m

Ledge Point
May be worth checking out Chris Prince at ledge point. I was in his shed the other week. He is currently building a 20footer for a guy in Karratha. Very nice looking rig

Why on earth do people want
Why on earth do people want so much beam on such a short boat? The cab is way to far forward for a good ride.
