is that the one that started at about 54k..then went to about 57k then to about 62k then back down a bit again? The one with the mark in the gel coast down one side?Originally Posted by Luxyboy
Reduce the Blue secondhand Signature 580F by about 30K
Beautiful looking toy
I have heard a bit about that boat.
Hey Dis, not everyone has the beer goggles on when they go to buy a donk. That lack of balance from beer affected sight, saw you teeter over to the evinrude shop when we all know you actually wanted to buy a 4 Stroke. Come Clean, come out of the cupbaord TIC

Tough world out there in boat dealer land. Up goes the dollar and its see you later Aussie boat builders we'll import them from countries using cheap labour (eg USA). Down goes the dollar and its back to the Aussie builders with open arms. Hope the aussie builders kept paying their staff when the dealers were importing boats so that there's someone to build the boats over here still (ignore Haines Marine Industries or whatever their called who got in on the act by importing boats themselves) .
I feel a bit sorry for the Aussie manufacturers, they go from competition with imports to the middle of a big recession when its going to be hard to sell any type of new boat.
Hopefully I'm wrong - I have no real insight into the industry, but I do have a right to my perhaps mistaken view.
Rant finishes now
Whichway
yep - wasn't too long ago that Gary threatened LEGAL ACTION against a member for stating the obvious - that a yard was closing its doors and all wasn't rosy at SM.
So now we find out that TCM was right after all....
egg... face.... anyone?
Didn't see a mark down the side, as the wife was trying to drag me by my ankles to get away from it.
It is this one:

EDIT: can see the mark in the picture
yep thats the one, to be fair it started at 57k, then 59k then 62k then back to 60k all in 2 days...
had a deposit on it, well i think i did ?, but thats another story
ps, nice boat with a lot of fruit but suggest you have a hard look at it, right side.
think ill buy new, but just love how the old mystery keen buyer is always out there lurking lol,,,, maybe one day ill meet him.

there is a big difference to a business making a decision to close a yard than a business "about to fall over" as per that member's post.yep - wasn't too long ago that Gary threatened LEGAL ACTION against a member for stating the obvious - that a yard was closing its doors and all wasn't rosy at SM.

Yeah I know mate but you can always dream...Hey Dis, not everyone has the beer goggles on when they go to buy a donk. That lack of balance from beer affected sight, saw you teeter over to the evinrude shop when we all know you actually wanted to buy a 4 Stroke. Come Clean, come out of the cupbaord TIC....but then again I really,really wanted an E-tec too but unfortunately ended up with an overpriced silver anchor...silly me
yes there is a big difference between those assessments I grant you, however only time will tell if he was correct in the long run.
have people lost jobs? was it a simple 'oh well we'll close this yard for a bit, and nobody gets hurt' scenario?
The advice, whilst not 100% correct, WAS 'on the money'. I guess we don't know the financial situation of the business so we can't comment whether the member was correct in his assessment of 'about to fall over'.
I'm just making a point that he was threatened and bullied into retracting his comments, yet a month later his 'defamatory' comments appear to have merit...
ps - I hope SM remains open for business as I don't wish ill on anyone in the current economic climate.
Nice editing there Dis but alas I like my silver rocket. she's performing really well and hasn't skipped a beat yet, into the 90's on the hour meter and not even 6 months old yet... Can't complain about the economy either, 140klm round trips and using less than 70 litres of juice

hey levinge are those numbers correct? I have a lighter boat than you by a hundred or two possibly 3 all full up but more or less the same length and I did a solid 156km for 82L of fuel on the weekend, it's an old smoky 90 Yamaha. Should you be getting better than what you wrote?? or are you confident in them?
Always looking to make sense of new tech fuel economy as so far reports and claims vary so very wildly.
cheers fnq
Those are very rough figures as I dont run a fuel monitoring system, just what I top up on when I put in the water, distance out to the spot I fish is about 40NM and we trolled for about 4 hours so I suppose the figures might be a little cloudy. The funny thing is the fuel guage barely moves off full after the trip of 40nm out.
All the trips out also have been into about 10kts SE'ly winds so right into the teeth of it. Can't wait for perfect weather so I can see what she does then. Maybe in January up at Mission Beach...

I get the feeling that Katcaddy just posts and does not read. If he does I went to springwood marine and got fobbed off by a salesman. Will never go back again, cause thats the way I do business. Snooze you lose, I take my business elsewhere after one bad experience.
