My new boat

 Time has finally come for a new boat

After months of looking and finally getting the missus somewhat keen

We finally found a boat that ticked all our required boxes, Searider 5.5 mtr

While I am at it I just want to say that Chris at Allboats was great to deal with, in fact so were Maz , Damian and Bridget

My wife is a legend , all she asked for was a transom door and the boat could not be red

Looking forwards to some great fishing moments coming up

Any chance that the previous owner is a member here ?

Good fishing boat!

 My last boat was a 5.5 sea rider. Plenty of deck and great for the foulest weather. Hopefully you'll get some blood on the decks soon.

 Thanks for replying guys

Good to get positive feedback as there doesnt seem to be a lot of Searider boats around

I am only a new member here but have been lurking in the background for quite a while

 Enjoy, I have a basically identical boat to that. Sea rider 5.5 but as you know it's a much bigger boat than 5.5m. I have been 50km of exy to way past the fads. Very capable boat.

enjoy great boat.

Congrats mate!

I have a 5.2m Sea Rider and couldn't be happier with it.

I actually saw yours for sale online the other day when googling Sea Rider photos. Not many photos of them around but seem to be a few guys on here with them.

Not too big, not too small.

Cheers

P.s. Sea Rider talk has lured out my first post : )

 Amazing the difference a transom door makes for the ladies hey?

I still miss the one on the trailcraft I had.

Love my boat now but no transom door... lifes a compromise.
