Great little hull this, very stable, easy to launch and retrive and can be towed with just about any vehicle available in SA.

With a electric trolling motor on the bow, it would make a great all-round artlure boat, from bass in the dams to yellowtail at sea, and everything in between.

Suitable for one nautical mile

Ended up cancelling my trip to Gamtoos/Swartkops due to the rain, will get there as soon as things improve. Hopefully by the 29th of August.

Went to Langebaan with the family and had great fun on the boat with the kids.

Nice one - any fish coming out on the baan? I agree with the other guys - a boat this size needs tiller arm operation. It opens up very valuable space. Welcome to sealine! ;)

will, unless you want a bare bones open bakkie lay out to cut down on cost, I would rather go for the centre console, even with three on board there is still a lot of walk around space and a stand up console makes the outfit a lot more practical.

Hi MM,

Does this price include the outboard or is it just for the kitted out hull and trailer?

How stable is this boat with 2 to 3 people standing and casting (ie people shifting weight around the whole time)?

Seems like this would be an awesome "large-ish farm dam" craft to fish for bass etc with a foot controlled trolling motor on the front.

Would a 16hp outboard be enough to power this beaut? 

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Katrol the price is for the boat and trailer. I tested the boat with three people and it was fine. With the 25hp I get plenty power, do not know how the boat would perform with the 16hp you have. If you enquire with the the boat builder I am sure that he will be able to assist you with that. If you need his contact details just PM me and I will forward them onto you. Cheers Paul
