nice fish mate, thats what happens when u dont bring me lol 

cool bonnies T

[bar crusher, stessl platetrix , formosa and tabs]

 i agree with recurve they are a copy but

bar crusher are definitely good boats but surtees make a fantastic product a bit pricey though but have you ever thought about a catamaran or a stessco or a tournament (fibreglass)

Hi everyone,

This is my first post so i hope i'm in the correct spot. I need some advice from those who know about tinnie's. I have fished all my life both fresh water and salt but i have never owned a boat, whats more I know nothing about them .  I will be moving to the Noosa area in a few months and i'm determined to get my hands on a good quality safe tinnie. One that I can use in the Noosa river and on the right day head out to a reef. I need to be able to launch the boat by my-self. I'm thinking around 10k. Here are some questions any help or advice would be great. 

1. What size boat 4.2mtr?

2. What size motor 25hp 30hp 40hp? Two stroke or four stroke? What make?

3. Is there any brands to stay away from? Any you recommend?

4. Should I go for a tiller steer or front steer? Is there any difference?

Thanks again any advice is really appreciated.

 

i have a 4.3m quintrex decent boat lands very hard but i go outside on a decent day with it i have rigged it with a live bait tank new sounder and a rocket launcher (coolest looking 4.3m boat ive ever seen hahaha) you would definitely want a 40hp which is what i have great motor my only beef would be i have a two stroke great power but now with better 4 strokes they are just as powerful 2 strokes are a pain to mix and very smokey and smoke alot even with the right mixture, hope that helps
