I understand. Went out on the training boat on Sunday from Redland Bay and got drenched. 100m back from the water there was bugger all wind. This is why we started looking at half cabin or bowriders. Missus likes the bowriders but they do seem to be a bit more pricey. Plenty of half cabins around but they do tend to be older in the price bracket we are in. So it becomes a trade off between newer tinny with less problems, cheaper running vs older half cabin with more power/comfort but maybe more problems/expense.
