Uncle Cheoy sure does know how to build a boat doesn't he...
Cool thread Ozy!
I would get a 8m plate boat with diesel i/o built by Col at Origin that could be towed with oversize signs etc (2.7m). 600l fuel. A small desal unit. Solar panels to run a little fridge for food. V berth in front and a transverse bunk under a raised driving position. It would also have a hatch in the roof with a driving position like they do on the Contenders. This would be to get more height whilst popping around the reef edges. The cabin would be walkaround, but only on the port side, just enough to get to and from the bow. It might look a little funny, but would give a practical walkway without taking too much width out of the cabin. Of course all the latest electronics, trim tabs etc. A removable gas barbq that had its own cupboard to stow securely away (without rattling)extensive rod storage to keep our 30 rods out of the way (maybe need a 9m boat!).
Padded comings in the cockpit, and careful design of the low bowrail at the bow (don't want it to get in the way whilst casting. Some sort of teak decking for good looks and grip. Yeah, that would do for a bit of long range adventure sportfishing .

Gees I'm glad all you blokes want big flash boats. I'll have an extensive range of craft to choose from for fishing duties all with no expenses to pay other then bringing a cartoon of happiness and a 40kg bag of spuds on board. The spuds are for the chips you have to have with all the fresh fish. It's all about a balanced diet with me.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
don't forget the lemon!!!!

Actually, since this is about 'fishing boats' I would like a Seatime 2800, probably the diesel inboard although twin fourstrokes also has it's appeal. It's aussie built and is a bit like a Walkaround
