Geoff Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 looking to by 11ft or 12ft boat fiberglass or tinnie , mainly use inside botany bay , pittwater ,hawkesbury . what outboard motor would suit 11ft / 12ft . any help be great . Don't think you will find to many 11 / 12' glass boats around due to the price of tinnies in this size being far less expensive than glass. Have a look at Polycraft , they may make a boat in that size Personally I lean towards aluminium as they can take a few hits on boat ramps etc without damage. The trade off is , they can become uncomfortable in a short chop with the traditional "tinnie bang" Motor wise , 9hp would be OK but would recomond 15hp. Always nice to have a few extra horses should the need arrise Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbink Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 An 11- 12 ft tinnie is a bit marginal safety wise for Botany Bay. Its shallow and unprotected and so can get very choppy when the wind gets up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
