Got a Dale boat in Brisbane???

[trueblue]

How many people have a Dale boat (5.3 or 6.3) built by Barry Dale Marine in Home Hill?

Just curious to see how many of them have migrated down to Brisbane with their owners.

I've only seen one other one down here.

Gday Mick,

I work with a guy who is a member of this site and goes by the name of "Spectre". Spectre also happens to be the name of his 6.3 Dale Craft.
Yellow and White cabin model with a 225 4 banger Yammie. A mile of room and tops to fish out of !! I've had a few rides in it, including a run to Fitzroy lagoon from 1770, as well as a trip to the Northern Barwon Banks. Both times it performed outstandingly !!!

He purchased it from a cane farmer up north, then trucked it down to Brisbane.

I'm sure he will spot this thread and ellaborate a bit more.

Regards
Craigie.

As outlined by Craigie above I own a 6.3 Dalecraft powered by a 225 Yammie 4 banger. Have had it for about 18 months. They are an awesome boat design & very smooth & dry riding in the rough stuff. Plenty of room for fishin & camping etc.
It attracts a lot of interest at the boat ramps as most people have not seen one before. Will try & put up a pic...

Do yo own one down here ??
I have heard that there are 2 or 3 in Brissy, but have not spotted one yet.

Cheers

Still got that photo of your boat that was previously posted?

I am looking for inspiration for a Targa Tee Top for my 5.3 Dale

I don't know if this is current but the link below has the business (including boat moulds etc) up for sale. Pity as their boats have a great reputation for ride and seaworthiness.
