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 .
