thanks for the reply guys,
i will be using this boat to fish around sydney harbour, port hacking, botany bay.
would also like the boat to have a bit of balls to be able to go to and a little outside the heads on a good day.
i am interested in getting myself a centre console because it is a more practical fishing boat when going out with a few mates for a fish.
i do most of my fishing with mates so launching and retriving will not be an issue.
as for the storage side of things, a box seat and a few compartments would be enough for me, and maby some side storage. would also need a live bait tank etc,
my main concern is i dont want to buy a hull thats crap to drive, would like something that can chop through waves (and not fall apart in a few months)
i have seen the specs on the formosa and they are 3mm sides and 4 mm bottom.
as for the quintrex, the centre consoles are over my budget of 20 grand unless something pops up
