Jethro Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi All With a few months of research, some great input from these forums (thanks guys) and a few weeks of sweet talking th e missus we were off to Lemon Tree Passage last night to order the new boat. :happy: I ended up deciding on a 4.3 TR series Elegant boat with a 50hp 4st Merc with hydraulic steering under the prevision that the missus gets to pick the colour. I might end up with a lovely pastel pink boat yet :confusuion: There are 2 others with their orders in before me so I am looking at 12 weeks delivery. Its going to be tough but well worth the wait. All going well it will be here well and truly before Port Macquarie Bream event. :grogon: I’m a little bit excited. 12 weeks and counting. :nana: Here’s a some photos of what was in the work shop last night. One Raffi is just about finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Great news Jethro, i know how excited you must be Looks like a very nice unit, just love those overhung chunky chines, i don''t know why other boat builders dont use them :confusuion: My poly has them and it makes a big difference to stability, cornering and when your punching into the chop... You should be a happy man when its delivered, best of luck with it. So have you planned when your going to visit the racks with the lovely paint job :yikes: :yikes: Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
