g'day Kpmack,
where abouts are you located?
yes i handle the boat by myself although my partner comes with me she only assists in getting the car (and this is where the help ends lol)
as its a open boat i simply drive it onto the trailer then walk forward and hook the winch cable on, walk back take up the slack and turn motor off. get off the boat and winch the last 3-4inches.
although it is a big boat and if it is breezy or a strong current running then it does get moved around abit. but after a few outing i got the knack of it. and can counter act most conditions as most could with practice.
yes it is a plate boat.
the only thing im not totally happy with is the trailer. not the construction but more so its only a single axle. i tow with a troop carrier and you can feel its there when a semi comes by or if there a big wind blowing.
im thinking of selling in a few months time so if your that far off making a purchase then shot me a msg then.
cheers

Gday Kpmack,i have recently purchased a plate 4.8mtr centre console that is built really tough.I have matched it with a 75hp Mercury 2 stroke which is a 90hp de-tuned and is a real grunty motor and i am stoked with its performance and fuel economy.I did all my homework on 4 strokes and D.I 2 strokes and was advised by a good source that the 3 to 4k difference you would never make back in fuel.I consider my boat to be a great all rounder.I generally fish bluewater up to around 100mtrs in depth with great confidence and with the casting platform i envisage myself casting lures up north for barra or flicking for bream in the creek or estuary.Being a plate boat this model is not very heavy and i manage it easily by myself as i normally fish alone.cheers and happy hunting.
