Runabout or Cuddycab

Hi there,

Currently looking at different boats in the 5.2-5.5m range.

It will be my first boat, used for fishing ( out to rottnest when good conditions ) and family boating.

Some of the boats are runabouts, others cuddycab's.

Be grateful on opinions regarding runabout or cuddycab's for my uses...

Cheers,

Joycey

not much difference?

basically a cuddy cab is just a runabout thats got a little higher foredeck-more room under for a little shelter a little more modern concept that runabout?

definitely a better setout for me.

I think the cuddy cab is

I think the cuddy cab is better suited for the family (kids) but would choose the runabout if fishing is going to take the bigger slice of action

Cuddy cab, getting wet bites and it's gonna happen in a runabout. If u find the right one they have plenty of room for fishing. I have a 5.25 and it fishes 3 with no dramas.
