Iam looking to purchase a 7-8 m aluminium plate boat.I live in Western Australia.Boat must be tough and ride well.Taking it to the Kimberleys.Price range 80 -130 k second hand.Any advise much appreciated.Must be able to be towed by 100 series landcruiser.
Do know of a 7.4m Noble Super V that might be on the market in Cairns. Twin 130 Hondas. 500l of fuel. Be a great Kimberleys rig. Ive fished out of it a few times on extended trips. Owner is a member on here too. Pm the codfather and ask him for a good deal so he can upgrade.

its one of the better set up boats I've seen for a long time.
Rawds,
Try some of these, seems to be a WA based site as well, always seems to have a few in your bracket.

I would have to say the Blue water boats are the best value in the large plate boats very good rige and finsh give scott a ring you will not be dissapointed.
Yep nice! But what's with the curtains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by GBC
Alcohol doesn't agree with me, but i sure do enjoy the argument!!!
Yeah - must have let the missus be in charge of the department of the interior. Did I mention the fridge/freezer in the galley, snapper fridge under the helm seat, radar, solar panels, shower/toilet, bigscreen sounder and on and on? She wasn't in charge of that lot.....
I don't even like tinneys that much but that one is rather impressive.
I have a 7.5mt aluminium deep v monohull with twin 140hp Suzukis, 750lts fuel, 150lts water. I actually did the Kimberleys in it last year (Wyndham to Broome). It features in the article I wrote for F & B Magazine (Oct/Nov & Dec 2008 issues). Thinking of selling it to move up in size. If you are interested you can email me at la49399@bigpond.net.au. Boat is in Perth.
blue water alloy boats are the go, burpengary qld ph/07 38884715 scotty
I would have to say they are the best value plate boat to and also they ride well above avg no harm in having a chat to scott he is very hands on with the building of them and can talk to you about the different ways they do things to other custom plate builders.
I have a 7.2m sea prowler custom centre cab built by a couple of young guys at Yatala near Brisbane, it is really the dream boat, yeah I know, I'm probably a bit biased, but I have had a few and this one is a stand out in build quality, if I can manage it I will attempt to put some photos up but this is the first time I've been on and it was really because I was reading your notes

It ok to be biased the prowlers are a top boat, and as you know build quality is excelent.
