    Should tick all the boxes for your cross over boat.

    Will you be running a different prop when you're loaded up for those camping trips?

    Looking forward to seeing some photos when she's all fitted out.

    Cheers,
    This is the finished package
    On the recent trip to Hinchinbrook - we really got to test her out in atrocious conditions ( & over loaded with camping gear etc) ......... I would have loved a 100 hp hanging off the back .... but that was never going to happen with my storage limitations
    I currently run a 13 -5/8th x 13" pitch prop & with 3 on board / full fuel load it does OK (47kmph) - when loaded I changed to a 14 x 11" pitch & had no issues carrying a full boat load of camping gear . Still need to find an efficient all round prop .
    The hull itself is pretty good - stable & rides well through the chop ...... not completely dry but good enough. The deck space I couldn't be happier with - enormous cast deck which allows two to work the area with no interference. The cockpit area is functional & big enough to have 3 fishing at the transom when bait fishing . Storage (underfloor) is sensational .
    For my way of thinking this boat is a cracker for 2 blokes to do what I meant for it to do ......remote mixed estuary and light offshore work having both the range and functionality .

    actually at 100 KPH in a 5m tinny in a bit off chop I thought it was pretty smooth ....... certainly better than a lot of 5m rigs @ < 70kph that i have been in heck it better than some 5.5-6m tinnys.
