Newby on the forum but long time lurker...
I currently have an 8m Lee-Cat which I love but it's just a lot more boat than I need anymore so I'm selling her. My fishing interests have changed/reverted to lighter tackle and fly, more inshore stuff. I'm over the long expensive 120+ NM round trips to the drop off here.
So I'm looking for a new boat, specs are:
Max 2 X 70hp (1L)(So Yamaha F70)
Cat, Max 18.6 (Change my mind?)
Possibly something I can squeeze into a 40 foot container (heaps cheaper to ship.)
Boats on the table thus far:
Supreme 520
Supreme 570
Kosi 17 Walk-around (So pretty)
Equinox 565c
Just for interest sake, I have emailed all these companies and so far only Len/Michelle have gotten back to me... mmmm
I live in Seychelles so won't be surf launching and the boat will be Marina based.
I know you all thinking, "So, just buy a dam boat, no waves there anyway..." True, we don't have the "Cape of Storms" swell but we have a nasty 1.5m short period wave which when the wind gets up can get pointy and a bit tricky to follow, the big Lee eats this up on the long trip.
Most use for the boat will be spin type and drop/shot with a bit of trawling but also scuba and keeping the wife happy with some island hopping.
Thanks guys; comment if you dare, I have lots of questions....
