Navigating from Mooloolaba River to Brisbane River

[AussieBrad]

Brad, quite often see berths advertised in Bayside Bulletin. Trouble is they are always way too dear.

as in $105,000 @ dockside? bit pricey yep

If you get stuck it might be worth considering a 6 month lease at a marina further south, it'd give you time to sort a swing mooring and it's much easier to work on a boat if it's on a jetty (and there'll be lots of stuff you'll want to do to a new boat). The other advantage of going further south is it's much more sheltered and safer if you have any problems with the boat. When I bought mine water kept appearing in the fuel which would kill the engine. Not a problem down south but could have been on the river with comercial trafic. It's my first boat so I plan to move it further north when I'm comfortable the boat's in perfect conditon and I know what I'm doing with it.

yeh i was thinking that if i put it at the jetty at bulimba, i could work on it and if needing bigger work, could motor it over to tripconys or similar. Will have to do some serious research in to the best methods with MSQ. ie. places that havent reached their mooring capacity (if any lol)

I dont know who you would talk to, or if there are any left, but off Point Halloran/Victoria Point has heaps of swing moorings

G'day Brad,

I just found your boat on the internet, Hmmm!
I am thinking you don't really get much in boats for that soughta money!
I would be thinking if you are still keen get the broker to take you for a run, Thats a freebie. Then if you are still keen get her surveyed for sure.
