    Re: Cruisecraft Experts - Explorer or Outsider - Help ????

    LOL Now how did a guy asking about a cruise craft turn into a Cruise Craft slagging .
    As most have said more room in the explorer but less in the cabin i have a 550 2001 model and you can sleep in the cabin with a stretched out sort leg hanging over setup but i tend to sleep on the floor .. Awesome fishing toom thou. Anthe Outsiders have a seat at the front on the hatch

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

        Shopped around for about 6 months on the second hand market... its amazing the different variants, conditions and extras you will find in a cruisecraft for similar prices.
        I ended up coming across a local boat point seller who had a really nice anniversary package 1998 cruisecraft outsider 550 with all the extras. I had a set budget and talked him down to the price i was willing to pay.
        If you are thinking of doing similar I would suggest hitting boat point every day (the good ones don't last long), doing a fair bit of foot work and window shopping.
        cheers

          If you are wanting an Outsider for a "fishing" walkaround....then dont go the 575. the larger ones might be ok.....but the 575 is only safe to access the anchor....love the boat though...i wouldnt want to try wwalking around it trying to fight a fish in any sort of sea conditions.

          My sister's CC...I enjoy fishing out of it.

            I wouldn't walk around my 685 when fighting a fish. Not enough room. But for every other reason that trench is lovely. If the fish is that big everyone's up anyway, and we'll turn the boat.

            Cheers,
