I am Approximately two weeks away from taking delivery of my new 555.
Brad ( For Steve) and I crawled all over this boat in the display room, and I liked the boat that much, I ordered it exactly the same.
Only additions were
* Upgrade to 115 4s
* add additional Bimini for shade ( women, gotta keep them happy)
*788x Colour GPS/Sounder Humminbird
* Best trailer on Offer - Dunbier drive on
I'd like to thank those in this thread who helped me decide. I have pestered you guys for advice for which I am very appreciative.
A few phone calls later, I could not be happier with things, except ...... I want the real thing instead of these crappy photos which are only helping keep the dream alive, while the boat comes out of the mould and gets fitted up.

One major decider was the small walk around ledge that enables getting to the front of the boat when coming into the boat ramp, so the deckie can jump off the front to cushion the boat against the beach or ramp. Yes you can go through the cabin hatch, but in Half Cabs I have always fought through towels, pillows and general baggage with wet or dirty feet, which owners of the goodies never appreciate

The waiting game is over, picked her up on Thursday and the rig will get her 1st baptism in due course. I don't think it will be this weekend because of this damned weather, but for now playing around in the boat, such as working out my new GPS and mounting the epirb, etc etc will keep my mind off the need to take her for a spin.

Heres a couple of shots as we were hitched up, ready to drive out of the dealers sales yard.....



And we realized after I had just paid for the new EPIRB, we left it back at the dealers! A quick stop beside the road we crawled through the boat to see if they put the EPIRB in there some place, before turning back.



The extended Bimini is going to be worth the extra 400 bucks - lots of shade and won't affect the fishing because the supports are tied in with the front Bimini. Didn't get rocket launchers, I think they are over rated, don't like putting my valuable equipment in them where they rattle around in the holder with every wave you hit..... just my opinion

We're all set!!

Scalem

[gawby]

Good on ya Brian.
Don't worry about the rain just go and put her in
one of the rivers for a spin and get some time
getting used to her. Looks really good.
I hope you have a lot of safe and happy boating and fishing
with her.

Top ,Top looking rig Scalem.........I'm as jealous as hell now.

They're all top looking rigs

My neighbour has just bought a 615 ....( Bastard ! ) & I'm hanging out to see one out of the showroom, & on the water.

May well be 2 in our street one day..........................

[LoungeLizard]

The waiting game is over, picked her up ....

She looks a beaut mate!

If you don't mind me asking, what did she set you back for? I'm looking at something similar in the near(ish) future.

[SgBFish]

Scalem.

She looks great. Just in time for Easter. If you see this scene around the bay drop on by.
All the best.

[Angryant]

Good to see you finally got the rig. I love the extended bimini - it looks the goods.
I'll have that accessory for your trailer this week (just in time for Easter).
I'll give you a call when it's ready.

Mate thanks for that. In the lead up to the purchase, how many times did I ring you? I lost count, but mate, you're a champ for making the time to answer my questions about your triple 5. Don't work too hard, you know it's criminal not using such a nice boat every so often

Donny Boy

The boat was worth the wait, and I hear Yalta are still in top gear, pumping out as many backorders as they can. The 615 is a VERY serious amount of boat, too big for my upgrade from a 4.3 mtr which was the last boat I owned before the 555.

Lounge Lizard

My brain still can't command my lips to speak the actual price I paid, still in a state of shock, I have never spent this amount of money on anything, cars, I guess the house is a different story. But to get a rig like mine, the basics will pull you up at around 40K inc the 115 Yammy 4 stroke.. But then I upgraded the sounder/GPS, the trailer to the drive on Dunbier, the extended bimini... The rest you can negotiate with the boys, but I think I got a good deal.

Scott

Thanks for your recent input mate. I know which boat to look out for with your "attractive" boat name. I'll get the float switch on the Bildge soon.

Andrew

M8, you better make a second one, I mentioned it to Poodroo, and , you have another order. I could tell the guys here what it is, but as you said, you will be talking to the right people when you officially launch your product, so I won't steal your thunder right now. Use my rig as a reference when you need to. Looking forward to it.

Easter break here we come!!

My wife wants to add the concrete and car/boat port to the whole equation. Typical!! I love the way they think
