These is our beast [35xpress] build by us and ready to comence fitout.

I tell you what it has been fun thus far. My initial post was US -v- Austr. existing Alloy b.boats. My post and views changed down the track, when the post appeared of the Triton blue boat (alloy @ $25K). At this point there was mention that there were strong preferences for the Triton over Aussie boats. I then challenged the idea from Rick.T of Harry's bream boat -v- Triton/America. At this point, I posted a new post TINNIE -v- TINNIE BRING IT ON..... Rick.T now your new post is requesting Harry -v- Triton Fibreglass. Gee's fair dinkum mate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a personal project that needs approx. $100,000 to complete.(35 Express) HOWEVER, in saying that don't think it's a excuse the challenge remains as TINNIE -V- TINNIE - b/c I will bring out the ultimate Custom Alloy Bream boat. But lets not stop there. It appears to me you like suggesting competitions on behalf of Triton, in that case lets say Triton -v- existing Aussie boats Fibreglass -v- Fibreglass, Triton boats -v- Haines or Triton -v- Attack or Triton -v- Full Boar etc... as a social day out. Rick.T?????????????? Mate what is your line of work, if your not working for Triton I suggest you do! Hazza

why dont you go and see the4.1 polycraft there not bad i hear . theres a coulpe of guys that are members on this site that sell them. good luck.

Glad to clear up the confusion from this morning Thanking those who personally emailed me. To Rick T, "no sneaky work here mate". YOUR IDEA OFF HARRY'S BREAM BOAT -V- TRITON/AMERICA. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... let me think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CHALLENGE TINNIE -V- TINNIE In the red corner we have Triton American boats (A MULTIMILLION $ CO.) with 1000's of employee's and exporters to all over the world. In the blue corner we have two small Custom metal fabricators with one partly completed personal boat project and with another personal project to commence the ultimate bream boat. .................................BRING IT ON.........................................

Hi fellas, Did'nt get to reply last night but after reading peoples comments it appears that the preferences for some boaters is either "a great ride" or "fit-out quality". For instance no warped decks, price range etc...... However, for me its some what different and more complex. Why you say ???? My preferences would have to be CUSTOMIZATION, Australian made product and high re-sale. Imported boats will always worry me. What happens when Importers selling US boats start to find out there is no future in it and stop trading. What happens to the Aussie US boat owners regarding re-sale and warranty ?????? The "life time warranty" issue. In the boating industry life time warranty really means 10yrs, correct me if I am mistaken ????? Too me a boat has to be versatile. Boating trends change so frequently. How can a US boat owner easily change the fit-out and still be under "life time warranty"????? With Australian manufacturers it's too easy. Talking about alloy. If imported alloy boats think that they will take over the Aussie market there insulting our industry. US alloy boats have been branded to some as being "top boats" BUT in actual fact there not ground breaking, just look good to the eye for some. The Australian industry will not change for the minority. That domain will be taken care off from the Custom boat builders. When you can order your boat to your exact requirements, your fancy fit-outs and the super hull shape. There is so much more on offer from Australian boats. Lets not forget the fibreglass builders coming out with some nice boats, like Haines Group, Attacks, Southern Star etc.... I have been a fanatical boater and game fisherman for years. I have explored all aspects of boating from Australia, US and Europe. The US have more to offer in boating because of the millions they have to cater for. US boats provided me with the idea/s for our '35 Express game boat'. The boat is currently under construction in our factory. (Check out pictures). At the time of construction Australian boats did not provide me with any ideas and to my disappointment still don't. So we took it upon ourselves to come up with other influences on boating and customize our own ideas on what we wanted for our game boat. Considering the recent posts regarding US boats being superior to Australian boats for some, I am going to bring it upon myself together with others and build a customized bream boat. Keep you all posted Hazza.

Good points made by all. I strongly believe that there will be a Aussie manufacturer who will bring out the ideal bream boat that will compare to the American bass boats. Maybe not in fibreglass but alloy might be the way to go. Quote me if I am mistaken, but, is'nt the Allison cuddy cabin an Australian built boat manufactured in QLD ? Using Aust.products.? As mentioned these days boats are heading towards how glittery and fast they could go instead of practicality. I agree we need fast boats for comp's and flashing interiors for our ego's, but what is the use if people are hesitant to fish them hard in hostile waters in case you scratch them. Do you want to go fishing OR do you want to power boat race ? Hazza

Mick, Thanks for your comments and invitation. So you reckon Aussie boats cannot compare !!! As a salesperson your opinion obviously sounds biased however you have invited others to comment, which is fair enough. You mention "life time warranty" on decks and hulls? So therefore, I buy the boat 3yrs later I sell the boat. The person who purchased the boat will they still be covered under life time warranty (to the deck and hull) ???? Or for instance the sexy glitter gel coat fades on the hull over time will this be covered under warranty, who fixes these problems ???? In addition, I am keen to find out if these US boats have been trialled, tested or been proven in the Aussie climate ? Fifteen, twenty years ago there was a severe problem of badly manufactured American boats which could not uphold to our Aussie standards. How do US boats which have been predominantly designed for inclosed waters perform over time in our ever changing harbours & bays. Hazza

Comments wanted ? Regarding the new breed on American bass boats compared to our existing alloy bream & bass boats out on the market now ?
