nice boat mate, not the best for offshore but will do the job...

few little issues now its a year old with about 70 hours on the clock.. mostly superficial

consider something with a slightly deeper deadrise if you want to go offshore a lot

thnaks for the info, i will be tring to use it off shore and also for the family fun days so by the sounds of things it should do just fine.
What are the small problems??? and what motor have you got on it????

Why the deeper deadrise???

Thanks again

Hey Rollie,

Have you considered a Polycraft 530 Bowrider. Probably do a better job than the Blue Fin.

got a 90 johnno 4 stroke on it.. gets around 32 knots wot on glass

it can bang a bit more than desired when the the swell drops out from under you...

windscreen coming loose due to it being used as a bit of a grab rail...

some of the other stuff is more due to fitout so i guess not really mentioning
