G'Day Stavy,
Mate nice looking boats the Southern Stars. I have the earlier Southwind SR17. They still use the same hulls I believe, just different decks and fitouts now.
The finish on the Southwinds are beautiful with a lot of nice extras and modern lines for their time. A good DeepVee hull gives a soft ride but they are still beamy enough to be reasonably stable at rest. I've got a 115hp which is big enough to do the job without breaking the bank.
We use ours for bay and offshore work and she has never let us down. I had a Haines before this girl, which was a damn fine boat but I won't be going back thats for sure.
Cheers,
Tony

Tony thanks for the reply i currently have a soft spot for the 590wr but i dont know much about them.
It has 23deg hull which is prety deep so it should be a really good ride but i dont know about stability.
Hey Stavy,
like skippa said. The boats that have the 23 deg hulls are based on a kiwi hull. I think that they were called tristrams or something like that. The walk round and the sportsman are based on these moulds. I think
maybe
perhaps I should just go back to the rugby and another glass of red.
cheers
Alex
