I have fished out of one many times and I think for a tinny they ride very nice but a bit wet. I believe they are as good or better than any of the others

i owned a bluefin warrior 4.5m tiller steer with a 60 yammie 4 stroke it was an awesome boat , cheap on fuel and fast. I reckon it was very solid for a tinny. Handled rough weather very well if you slowed down . The only downside was it was a wet boat.

I have a 4.5 predator bluefin with a 60 2stroke merc i think its great a bit of spray in some situations you get that in open boats overall i usually find it dry in comparison to others the spray chines deflect a large majority of the water but it all depends on how you drive it iguess if you want to go flat out in quartering seas yes you will get wet but in general me and the wife are dry as had mine 3 yrs and 400hrs and its been great use mine in the bay nearly every weekend ....

Ned,

Mate, I have a Bluefin Predator side console with a Mariner 50 2 Stroke and it is absolutely fantastic. It is built tough, rides well, good quality finish and fittings. It is wet in the rough with a side wind, what open boat isn't. The chines keep it pretty dry though. I mainly head into the bay. Most weekends I am off to Morton or Mud and have the family on board and never a problem. Had it in some really ugly weather to and it performed excellent. Highly Recommended,

Cheers, Mick
