[Limitations of Stacer 509 sea runner]

Update.... safety gear has been installed 

GME Gx700 vhf radio with 1.8m antenna 

GME epirb and built in GPS

will feel much safer going offshore now 

my apologies for thinking this safety gear is optional extra when in realty if I’m stuck out there it’s the only way to get help

If you decide to  get an epirb and want to go out further  let me know and i will send you some marks that  hold good fish but they're  more than 2nm out and you're boat will be fine ona good day. 

Thanks stradic 

please forward me some of the gps marks  you are willing to share via PM so I can put them into navionics to see the distance....etc

Have been on family boats all my life feel very comfortable boating but this is my first personal boat .. I normally put the boat in at Rhodes boat ramp and heading out to rose bay and just outside the heads 

With just myself onboard and feel quite comfortable venturing bit further out 

still need to purchase an epirb/flares

I have recently purchased a Stacer 509 sea runner with 90hp evinrude etec 

 

my question is what are my limitations in regards to taking this boat offshore fishing out Sydney heads and how far would you take it on a good weather day ,

could it be possible to get to some reefs
