Submitted by Frank F on Sun, 2014-05-18 16:07
Hi all, look at getting a smaller boat while I build the new house. Putting most of the coin towards the house.
Down to a couple of options the ocean whaler or south wind ub580.
Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with these hulls good or bad or if anyone owns one.
I will using it for inshore and venturing out to the 40s.
Thanks in advance

Ocean Whaler
I bought a 5.65 ocean Whaler about a year ago and can't fault it. We use it for running around with the family and offshore.
I wouldnt hesitate to reccommend them to anyone.
I live down Secret Harbour and if you ever want to have a look or if i'm heading out come for a ride let me know.

+ 1 Whaler
I second the performance of the Whaler. Went on them with Nomad charters in QLD and while there wasn't a lot of swell they hammered over wind chop impressively coupled with a 90 Suzuki 4 stroke.
I haven't ridden in a UB though I understand they travel well too.
