Tournament style Fishing Boat for moreton bay

[Getout]

That's what hats, sunscreen, sunnies, and long sleeved UV protected shirts are for - In my opinion biminis, T Tops etc get in the way too much on small boats when you're fishing.

Fair enough, but it still gets bloody hot without any shade. I'd rather be cool than look cool.

Whatever floats your boat

As usual, it all comes down to what you want from a boat, if you want a boat to sit back and relax slurping on a beer whilst soaking a bait then something with some sort of shade is great. If you're throwing lures around all day it becomes a complete pain.

Every single boat is a compromise

Back to the subject though - another option to consider could be the 530 Polycraft. Quite high in the sides and handles rough conditions quite well (I had one a few years back and had it out in horrid conditions a few times and it handled it well)

I prefer the Stealth over the Poly though in that it has lockable rod locker, waterproof hatches etc etc - Basically a much nicer level of finish and features, performance wise it's better too.

mate i agree with you! Another thing to consider is how targa tops effect boat performance and fishing performance, they catch the wind whilst under way a tip over, i know when i removed the targa from my old UB it was a much better boat! during fishing without the Targa it drifted slower with the wind also the lure casting as you said was a pain!

Ps. I reckon i got more sunburnt when it had the top as it provided a false sense of security and i was slower to apply cream and a hat!

I'd be grabbing the 542 centre console signature from the for sale section and putting a bow mount and casting chair in - easily done.
