    Gday Nigelr

    A few factors... Dealer location, reputation [MY MArine], Service, Boat reputation probably the main factors.

    Also plan to step up to a bigger one in maybe 2-3 years so wanted to test them out before bigger investment....

    I like the look too...

    DBL - Went out of mooloolaba with Smithy in his 609 stabi on the weekend. 2m+ swell (looked like 5m) and 15 - 20 knots of chop. Handled it a treat. Was very impressed. At rest it came into its own and the rolling swell looked evil but the stabi soaked it up perfectly.

    It's gotta be nice to be able to have such confidence in the stability of your boat in any conditions. Good choice,enjoy.
