Nice. Well done. You won't be sorry.

Is it the 94 model in Adelaide you mentioned earlier? How much did you pick it up for, and where did you find it?

Post some pics when you're sorted.

Regards

Darren

Darren,

Yes it is the Adelaide boat.

94 model with original 175 Yammy 169 hours so whole package has had very little use.
2003 Dunbeir trailer with electric winch, spare etc.
All great condition and fully optioned for fishing eg electronics, canopy, rod holders, etc.
Even has full boat and engine cover.
Negotiated down to $25,500 was originally $29,500 at boat show.

Cant send pics via here (too big).

If you give me your home email I will definately send.

Ps. What's this hull like at rest and with two blokes to one side?

Jonah

[boatboy50]

Hey Jonah,

Sounds like a good rig. The hull is good at rest also, you won't feel uncomfortable even with three big blokes on the same side. They are a good all round boat.

Where did you find the boat? My mate is having trouble finding them. We know about trading post, ebay and boatpoint, is there somewhere else you are searching for boats?

Darren,

Google search - Southwind SF20 and read every link.

Boat is at Christies Beach Marine. If you search this, it may still be showing.
There are 4 photos, but save them to your computer and then open, as this gives a far better view.
Tell me what ya think.

Also have photos of the Newcastle boat advertised for $25,500.
Doesn't look as clean, and isn't fully optioned for fishing, but would go for better price.

Cheers

Hey Pete,

I think that 575F is overpriced for what it is. I've seen it in the flesh as it's just down the road from work. From memory I think they want about 38k.

Jonah,

I had seen that one before. Is she antifouled? And with a quality trailer too I see. Looks like it has been totally re-upholstered with some bright colours. Nice. Put a nice bimini with clears and you've got yourself a great boat.

Regards

Darren

[jonah]

Darren,

Why do you suggest the antifoul?

Luckily it already has the bimini and clears.
Baitboard is all I need to buy.

Cheers

Let me know re this week snapper?

Cheers

Hey Jonah,

In the pics on their website it looks like the boat has black antifoul. It is hard to see on the website though. It doesn't show the bimini or clears either.

Either way, you've got yourself a pretty good buy.

Pete,

Looking to spend less than the 30k mark, and pick up the elusive bargain! The 635, although an awesome hull, is a little old for the money. A later model, I think they made them up until 1996, would be the only one we'd consider, with an outboard on it.

Hi Guys, I have just purchased a 1997 model SF20 - picked mine up for 26k Has 300hrs on a 200hp yammy. Got it from the sunshine coast, am having it towed to Townsville next week. This is my first SF20, previously had a 6mt plate boat, 6mt Hydrofield and a 600R. I specifically wanted an SF20 as from what I have heard they are a good allround offshore rig.

Cheers

[boatboy50]

Hey Leezor,

That's my old boat!!!!!!

Its the one that was in Trade A Boat this month, and ebay recently.

You will be happy with it.

Regards

Darren

[leezor]

Huh, well there you go! Yes, it was on Ebay and in Trade a Boat. I actually saw it for sale around 12 months ago at a dealer near Glass House, but I wasn't in the position to buy then and it was sold. They wanted nearly 35k for from memory. The people I got it from live near Maloolibah, am looking forward to taking it to the reef next week - weather permitting.

Looks like it has been well looked after, thanks

How did it go in the rough stuff, and from memory how big is the fuel tank?

[boatboy50]

Hey Leezor,

I'm pretty sure it didn't sell for mid 30's twelve months ago, I saw it then too, at a number of different yards. It was for sale for a while but i'm sure was withdrawn and not sold.

I sold it to a guy who lived on the sunny coast, i'm sure somewhere near the glasshouse mountains. Him, wife and 2 kids came in a white 100 series cruiser which was raised with bigger springs. I sold it to him for $29,500.00.

Handles chop very well, and holds 160L of fuel from memory.

The boat originally was owned by an old bloke who kept it in the whitsundays. I can't remember if I removed the whitsunday tackle stickers that where on it.

He passed away and i bought it off his kids on the gold coast. It hadn't been used for at least a couple of years when I bought it. I did a lot of work to it, including repainting the red, as it had been neglected from no use or maintenance. I also redid all the brakes and axles on the trailer.

Regards

Darren
