Need help deciding what size Bar Crusher

[Lordspink]

I have a 490c the smallest they make and the father in-law has a HT in the 7m range, BC flew us down to melb to have a look through their factory (That's why i bought one for my self). Every ones got an opinion, mine is: they handle bloody well, easy to clean and set out nice. Surtees do a nice boat when looking at the 4.95 work mate compared to the 4.9Bc, the BC had a lot more as standard for the same price.

Go as big as you can, with the drive on drive off trailer (bar-catch) its easy as to handle. Comes down to $$$$

Don't spend big money on boat catches. You can do similar with a piece of rope from your trailer to a stern cleat picked up with a gaff over the side for like $1.

its a fair enough point, but only one of the many reasons that made me head down that path, to be honest not even one of the big ones, but a handy standard feature none the less

How did you go
Has a boat been bought ?
Boats are personal things - like houses / cars / girls

Each to thier own I reckon
Rarely is the best one chosen first - excepting girs
And sometimes requirements change

Mate buying a boat is a very frustrating practice. Personally I would go as big as you can afford. There are some great plate boats out on the market. If you have your heart set on a bar crusher then just pick a size do the research and go for it. Don't second guess yourself. I have a 6.1 Surtees Gamefisher they are nothing short of a fantastic boat..Well built and built to CE certification great at rest and just mows through the chop. That was my choice in boat mate and I have never looked back. Just do your reseach and make your own choice in accordance with your budget. Good luck mate I hope you enjoy your new rig...whatever it is going to be....I love showing it off to hahaha...

No boat yet, I might have to sell my tinny to make room in the yard for the new boat. The original storage spot we had planned isn't going to be any good for another 6 - 12months. The missus will shoot me if I end up with another trailer in the yard, we've already got 4 trailers so one might have go to make room.

Wife's have no sense of humour do they.
