The flat floor dinghy is also available and ideal for river fishing, estuaries, fishing the sound or using as a tender. Should have a picture of it soon.

hmmm
I like that little centre console rig - think I may look to customise one and swap out of the tinny. They look pretty nifty!

Looks like a slick rig
I love my current boat, but with the new house I am building, storage is gonna be an issue - so this might be a good replacement.
What would be the overall length of the boat/motor/trailer? And what weight is the transom rated to? And what size fuel tank is achievable underfloor?

I couldn't find a hp rating
I couldn't find a hp rating on the site. Would make a great Pilbara Barra rig.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

me either
hence the question. I was curious to see if the 40/50/60hp e-tecs would be OK given they are all essentially the same engine tipping the scales at a bit over 100kg......

i would say as far as
i would say as far as traveling out it would be depending on conditions and fuel capacity. there have been people going out beyond the 100mtr mark in tinnies. so realy it would be up to yourself as there is no regs on that one. wouldnt comment on the motor but as mentioned by commodore marine you can get the 40 or 50 hp 4 stroke on them , might be underpowered if you go smaller

Some spec information
Hull is rated to 70hp and fuel tanks are portable 23 liters. There will be an option for a larger fuel tank shortly which may be a built in tanks of around 50 liters.
Initial testing with a 40hp 2 stroke Suzuki gave 28 knots and a 60hp 4 stroke Suzuki 35 knots, pleanty of power on this size.
We are also about to bolt a 30hp 2 stroke on one so will let you know the performance in around 2 weeks.
We are also just designing a T-top for the Centre Console as an add on especially for the one who like to fish in the hotter parts of our land.
The casting deck will fit the Centre Console, Open Boat, Side Console and Dinghy, so should be a lot of different options for a boat fitout.

He got it just before
He got it just before Christmas after a long wait for it, to only get it on the day before Christmas with a registered trailer, but no boat rego etc...
So he could not use it over his Christmas holidays
but so far he is very happy with the hull and motor package. He has not had a chance to fish with it out deep yet, as he has only putted around Mindarie with it. He still needs to gt a good GPS and Sounder, Radio, EPERB etc before he can take it out wide.
But I'll keep you guys posted
