hello everybody i've just joined this site.
I was after some advice on buying a boat.can anyone help?
the problem is that I'm disabled..but I love fishing...I have no arms so I use my feet for everything.
my husband and I are looking for a boat that is very stable at rest, so that I wont get tossed out with the slighest ripple..(no arms to steady myself). the ease of me actually getting into the boat, from the boat ramp or beach.
unfortunately we only have a mazda 3 which has a towing capacity of 900. So that limits us as well, but we would consider buying an old car just to tow the boat, if we find a bigger one that suits me.
I want a boat that has a bench seat in the back for me to sit on to fish. A foward control so that I might steer (if I can get a boat licence)...why let my hubby have all the fun. also have a teenage daughter who might like to tube behind it.
we've looked at stacer's, polycrafts, and everything else, but we are totally confussed...
have been in a stacer 465 bowrider, with a 60hp on moreton bay with a bit of a chop. this boat met all our requirements but we would have to buy that 2nd car to tow it (and I don't drive) .
we want to fish rivers, bribie passage, and to go to moreton on a good calm day.
thanks....
