Hi all
Me and a mate are talking about going halfs in a new boat, nothing huge maybe 4m -5 m. Want to get out the to those had to reach places for bit of fishing and definity a bit of diving too. The boat he has now is pitterful. Taken a look at some but a trailcract has taken my eye atm. Want to know about peoples experience with them? they anygood????

I had a trailcraft 5m runabout. It's one of the better mass produced plate ally boats and if you're not going offshore in the rough stuff will be OK. They can be a bit wet at times (not a very sharp vee) but is OK on smaller chop and works very well in creeks/bays. If you're considering heavy offshore work then look at something bigger, I'd say 5.5m+
Overall the TC's are solid, honest boats with very little issues.
Just a word of warning though - previous place I worked two "mates" also bought a boat, all was OK for the first few months then hit some personality issues, one guy didn't want to go out as much, the other one got a girl that wanted to tag along, etc., etc., ended up in a big shit fight and long story short they haven't spoken to each other for many years now.
