    All I ever heard was "how much do you sell your boats for"

    Well the hunt is over, we finally found what we were looking for and picked it up on the weekend.

    I'll do another post with some more details.

    Thanks everyone for their advice and responses.
    Cheers

    Nice, so what's in the construction make up? Good to hear they've lifted their game. I still have nightmares about my masonite floor lol

    Ya right, one of the things that put me off Cruise Craft was the wood. Takes me back to the 96 Explorer I had, wasn't that old (at the time) and the floor was sort of soft.
    Now they're using a composite method. More info here: https://sportsmarine.com.au/cruise-c...-construction/

    They call it 'Matrix Grid Construction' method, started in 2016 from memory.
