they handle really nice
just be aware though. If you going to do heavy miles the stainless tops are built light and eventually need bracing.

Great boat
I have the Explorer 625 - great fishing platform. May you have many successful hours from this boat.

Take the clears off and take the canopy off, otherwise you might find it arriving here without it. Nice hull, you will enjoy it.

If it's not too late I'd highly recommend getting it shrink wrapped for the journey.

I brought a CC 625 over from Bne a few years ago. Folded the bimini down and covered as much of the interior as we could with platic wrapping. It was a bloody mess, took ages to clean when it arrived in Perth. The black diesel soot from the truck added to the dust from the Nullabor gets in everywhere. We asked about shrink wrapping but we did not have time (or the means) to drain the fuel tank so we had to go without. Only a broken VHF antenna and a bent jocky wheel, otherwise no damage.

Congrats on your rig
It looks in excellent shape. Great times ahead!
I bought a 685 Explorer over from NSW last November. Came over without any dramas, not shrink wrapped and was relatively clean upon arrival. The clears were removed and anything that could move was taped down. I could have done without the Dept of Transport hassles in licensing boat and trailer tho.....

Good point about the
Good point about the trailer!
Some things to check that I had to rectify on my trailer before it could be registered in WA:
- safety chains lugs must be welded to the drawbar and joined with hammerlocks. Pins/bolts are not permitted.
- must use rated chains, they have to be stamped with the Australian Standard (can't remember which standard now).
- brake lines must be secured with metallic fasteners - cable ties not permitted.
