Hey there everyone 👋 I’m keen to hear your thoughts on which boat to buy myself for my 40th in a few months About me: average fisherman now living in Cairns, have recently done boat license but still have limited driving experience, mostly with 3.9-4.2m aluminium and poly around rivers, bays and about 2km off-shore Specs/considerations: ballpark $15-25k, prefer new, can be towed by car with 1200kg capacity, basic comforts (shade, floor, seats, lights), able to go 2-5km offshore on good days (maybe more?), easily handled alone, can fit 3-4 people, am thinking 4-4.5m range and 30-50hp Boats that caught my eye so far: quintrex 420 renegade/explorer/hornet, quintrex 430 fishabout, stacer 429 proline/rampage/outlaw, stacer 435 seamaster, savage 435 bay cruiser, smartwave 4200/4800sc Not confident to go out to the reef 40-50km offshore yet but maybe in few years I will be. Am in two minds as to whether I should/can factor that aspect in now. Are any boats in my range big/safe enough to go that far out? If it’s not an option now, maybe it’s an upgrade after a few years. Thanks for reading! Any tips, advice or suggestions welcome… cheers!
