Paul

Watching that link Paul, i don't think you're going to hear the captain shouting women and children first while the bands playing . Looks unsinkable.

would have to be a cat, probably a cheetah, of some sort

[pazza]

It would have to be a catamaran of some sort for me, better sea keeping qualities, more deck space, less lost days and two main engines pushing a much smaller area of below the waterline hull thought the water resulting in better fuel consumption.

I think you're spot on Graham. I've spoke to someone who goes out very regular on a Cat and would agree with everything you've said. Cheers.

That Arvor 280.............droooooooooooool. For me, wouldn't really have to be able to go out in bad weather, who wants to be out there fishing when it's really nasty just because you could in a cat, it's supposed to be fun not a chore. When you stand on the shoreline and look out to sea prior to a trip, if it looks iffy from there, it's always worse out there.

There's a new "quicksilver arvor 230" in the marina Arthur , when I stopped to look at it and seen the amount of fishing space compared to my jeanneau , I half wished I'd not taken the wife boat hunting with me

They want all the mod cons and comforts, even a bog, but then hardly ever come out fishing with us do they? I’m left to put the kettle on and make my own tea.

i phoned the bride from the boat show and asked " do me a favor"

"whats that" she asked.....

"whack a for sale sign in the garden i've seen a cracking 280..."

"*******...******.. ******" she said...

no sense of humour.......

cat

If I win lotto I'm gonna buy either a swiftcat or a cheetah

Cheetah is noosa based design,(see noosa web site and see deliveries) now predominately outboard powered. best length 7.9 long cabin, fit-out yourself, switcat is perhaps a little on the large size for berthing costs, but offers choice of drive. Have a look at leisurecat.au see the same type of hull offered, then look at Glacier bay catamarans (part 1) and see the sea keeping of these displacement boats. Lots for you to look at and if want to know what these boats compare, let me know as I have had, and do have, these craft here in the n.e.

You"ll have a big hole in your pocked when you buy with all the cost"s where to keep it or berth it and fuel and you need ins,

If You Could Afford It ?

Is it as the title of the post suggest "If You Could Afford It" a bottomless pot of cash, really large pockets. If so why buy,just do what our favourite celeb's do on TV, take a world tour and fish all the place we see them fishing at making us green with envy and sick with jealousy.

I would love to think i could splash 150K on a boat. But i know the only way it would be possible would be to cash in on our lass' life insurance .
