I would have to say well done to Steve and the team at Ausfish for letting col advetise his new Brand Origin boats on Ausfish. After everything that has happened people including Ausfish and a lot us have said hey whatever happened happened and now we have to move on. So welcome back Col and i will poping around soon for a chat about your future plans as you have always been good to me. Mark:wink: :wink:
Yep, Good on Col for having a crack at it again.
I truly hope everything works out well.
I just wished his (and Leisure imports) banners would not go across my computer screen.
I thought that's why I pay a subscription...to stop the advertising.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
It'll cost ya a carton to get in there..actually cost me 2...LOL
I wonder why the Origin "Genesis" looks so much like a Stabicraft?

Does that mean that it is a pontoon boat?

Col at ORIGIN did some great work on my bluefin and i am more than happy with the quality of his workmanship . When or if i get sick of the fin he would be getting my business for sure , a custom boat isnt that far away and he would get the job ...matt
A bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......

Two good questions.
Does it look like a Stabicraft? Yes, quite a bit in the line of the hull but this is because it is built in flat sections, not progressive curves. So the shape is familiar.
Is it a pontoon boat? Yes, but don't take my word for it. Visit the website for more information: www.originboats.com.au

Ah yes - now I see from the website that I was looking at the gallery and that there are specs elsewhere on the site.
No prices though. How is it likely to stack up in price against a Stabi, please? Because Stabis are produced on a less bespoke basis than for a normal plate boat builder, I am assuming that they would have volume/learning curve price advantages.
.
With all the marine businesses closing their doors almost weekly,its good to see one opening up for a change.
So good luck to the owner Richard and his staff as your probably going to need it.

Who's Richard??
Oh am I glad to see the 4X4 brought back from the past.
Mate, your going to sell a lot of those buggers. Absolutely brilliant they are.
Anyone considering a boat in the 4-4.5m range should be looking at one of those.

Thanks to those that have expressed encouragement to Origin Boats.
Being a new company I thought I would provide a quick response for those that may be wondering, who is Origin Boats.
Origin Boats was formed in late 2009 to develop a range of custom plate alloy boats from 4m to 10 m. The Company ownership structure includes myself and two others, all having extensive, long term backgrounds in business, accounting, marketing and sales. The goal of Origin Boats is to produce the best plate alloy boats in Australia and provide 100% customer satisfaction.
Col Svensson with 30 years experience is the master boat builder. He brings to the Company a wealth of design and construction expertise. He is leading a team of dedicated tradesmen producing state of the art designs, techniques, quality control and innovation to produce the best product for our customers.
We have already completed some boats and have a few nearing completion that we will be posting on here for you to see what we are doing with our new 2010 models.
We have invested in sponsoring Ausfish and look forward to providing service to any members that may need assistance with their boating requirements. Please give Col or myself a call or PM if you would like any further information.
Regards
Richard
Actually charleville there would be nigh on 1/2 a dozen builders of boats that look like Stabis, they are called pontoon boats, RIBS etc etc.
Senator, Aqualine, Kiwicraft just some from NZ, and Ocean Cylinder, Ocean Craft, Typhoon, Aztec and now Origin from Australia, just off the top of my head.
Quite a popular design concept, those Kiwis are quite ingenious at times!:rolleyes:
Thanks for this.
Do you have a showroom or display area at which the already completed boats can be looked at, close-up, please?
.
Great to see, looking forward to lots of photos of the new boats.
Gee, THAT was subtle.............
I for one have been happy without the "heres a boat we built this week" and other forms of spam posts we've been subjected to in the past.:wink::wink:
There's two sides to every coin and I'm glad you know which side you're on.
All I know is that there's been a lot of angst caused, and a lot of threads locked and the common denominator is that person.
I wish them all the best and good luck with it all - just keep the advertising in the banners, and OFF the boards IMHO.
