Hi Mate.

Well I loved it mate.  The way it rides is awesome.  Handles chop well, didnt porpoise much (not at all i dont think), flew along nicely at 31 knots.  Great layout aswell.  Pleasure to drive and fish off really.

Only downsides IMO are the fact that the livewell plug wasnt in...lol Nearly sunk the boat.  The issue with that was that the water went to the stern and was easily bilge pumped out, but a lot of water stayed in the area in which we are seated and standing, around around console.  There didnt seem to be enough drainage for the water to get out or down to the transom area, so we had to bilge it out from the free board area as well as the stern/transom area.  Other than that (which shouldnt really happen anyway) it was great.  Oh and water comes out ot the livewell lid if the livewell is full and you give the motor a burst...lol

Loved the boat...wouldnt change much if anything at all.

Hi mate.
We only got 31 knots once...when we left the start raced to get to the Narrows.  Livewell was empty.  After that it was 28 knots max.  Oh and that 31 was going with the current...so I wonder what speed it may actually have been....could have been even faster...lol
The boat must have felt the young blood in it and pushed a bit harder...lol

Screw in livewell thingo would definately be a good option.

Hi Nev - Dave borrowed Craigs poly to fish the recent bream classic....

If you are interested in buying a poly - Nathan ("bubba") is selling his purple one and its going quite cheap... think he wants $14.5K for it.

check out the post on breammaster. its fully kitted out with rod lockers, sounders etc.... probably a bit early for you but its an option...

There may be a nice blue one up for sale when you get back! ;)
