Which way would you go?

Submitted by johnathon on Sat, 2016-10-22 18:19

I'm looking a the Reflex Chianti 635 and the Formosa Searod.

i have a family of 5 boys and the wife wants to go for a fish so I'm shopping really hard for a suitable boat for reef and creek fishing. 75% of the time it's me and a couple of mates then the rest of the time I need the family boat.

Any recommendations or a favourite out of the two I mentioned?

thanks in advance.

2 very different boats there.
I have the original version of the Reflex from Haines before they sold the molds to Reflex in NZ.
Boat has been great for its size and handles pretty much everything that has been thrown at it.
Just make sure it has a minimum 150hp on it. Mine was fine with a 140 but upgraded to the 175hp and the extra weight has made a big difference.

Er yeah , with 5 kids?  try going fishing a bit more often!

haha , +2 with the haines , have heard good things about them .

but plate ali has its uses as well , as can be seen by its popularity at ramps all around WA.

Ali seems more practical for the real hard core fishos.
