I could not believe the prices for some of the boats...saw a 6.5m plate boat..they were asking 91k for it.

There were some "interesting" prices. I was amused by the cost of these very basic fish cleaning tables.

...and for another silly sign at the boatshow ...


[Well done to Webby for hs presentation on Moreton bay fishing this morning! It was great as always!

Also it was great to say G'day to Pinhead aand the Chief and his son Garrett ]

I was very surprised at the standard of workmanship on a couple of alloy boats that i saw. eg Makocraft with some of the worst welds i have ever seen along the gunnel , dags all over the place , gaps in the runs etc

apart from catching webbys talk this morning i only went to have a close look at a polycraft 599 frontier , instead i could only find 1 open boat and 1 centre console

on the upside i discovered the yaltacraft 555 is actually about 4 grand cheaper than the poly and the wife (read as boss) is very interested in the yalta

now i gotta sell my rig

same sh%t different year....lol

I agree... the prices of new boats seems to be out of control. Was there with a friend who is in the market for a new glass 5.75m. Last year the cruise craft was around 50k. Today the same boat with the same motor is 70k.

I was really happy that there were quite a lot of glass boats there. Am in the process of doing up an old hull so got a few good ideas.

Webby's talk was good got me to rethink a few things to improve the catch rate.
If i can double my catch rate i'll be bringing 2 fish home.
