no doubt all the guys know this one
16ft clark abalone they never had 5m boats when that was made
also it was the second or third edition abalone because the originals had no spray deflectors
cheers

Would this hull be suitable for offshore use? There is a 70hp Johnson on the back of it... Roughly a 80's model motor maybe even earlier. The hull itself is centre console.

no, not really. at that age you will crack the fudge out of it

I'm not quite sure on the thickness of the alliminium hull, maybe 1.6mm

[Moonlighter]

And, if you dont crack the fudge out of the hull, it WILL crack the fudge out of your back, especially offshore, but also in any decent Bay chop as well.

i did a trip many years ago in one of them from Bribie out to Caloundra Wide. I was 6 ft 7" when i left, and when i arrived back, 3 days later when i could finally stand upright again, I was only 6ft 4"!

The hull is more of a flat bottom than a v hull...

A good mate has a 14'6" ab. We fish the creeks in his boat and mine offshore. In any sort of chop the ab will beat the shit out of you and you will be drenched. On the plus side it is cheap to run and not a big investment.

Even for the creek, buy a spray jacket.

Avoid offshore like the plauge!
