Guest Jocool Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have never seen an Attack in the flesh, and never ridden in the others, but to my way of thinking, perhaps the Elegant or Stacer would make my short list. On another note, have you considered the Tritons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BREAMAHOLICK Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Mate u already no what im gonna say.

Ken A Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The post is about thoughts on a new bream boat - try keeping on the topic. Enough plugs for Elegant boats also. They don't pay for advertising here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boats have been discussed here in the past & I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with posts which are nothing but plugs for a non sponsors product. Feel free to post & mention Elegant boats but in a sensible manner that is not a blatant plug . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All critisizm taken on board and all replys considered 28292[/snapback] Hi Mitch, Mate what a question the 470 PTE wins hands down.

tony Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have a 475m Hornet. Can someone tell me here what one of the STacer 475 PTE cost Please. ? Just curios as in most Stacer boats they are cheaper..........now i am not saying they are bad boat Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick T Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 G'day Mitch Firstly decide what u want to do with the boat and secondly what u can afford to pay. Give us these details and it will help us to help u. If u wish to peek around the heads, the stacer or the high sided elegant would be the goods. I think they would be priced similar. Jethro has the elegant and Snag have the stacer so if u offer them some petrol money and ask nicely I am sure they would take u for a run. If it is estuary only but budget is an issue the poly would be an awsome option, stevo and dave w have one and I am sure in the same manner u could organise a run. If your budget extends then fibreglass tritons are the cream of the crop. I have been in all u have mentioned except the stacer but to give u an honest opinion we need more info about your major use for the boat and budget. Overall go for a run in them all and decide for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastone Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Mitch buying a boat is a very personal thing, only buy what you think is the boat that suits you, whether its the cheapest or dearest. It has to suit what you want to do not what you think you might do.I bought a no nonsense plate alloy boat to get me out to the shelf, no dunnies , fancy fittings, just what i wanted to suit noone else , selfish yes but I paid for it, just like you will , so dont get suckered in by looks , or other agendas. GOOD LUCK . ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEELEE Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Mate get the boat that you suits you to what you exactly want as you don't want to regret buying it at a later date. With all boats there is a compromise when buying it unless you can get it custom built, then it will have all the bells and whistles and have them in all the right places and that is where you want them. Luke snag said, try them all out and see for yourself or go for a ride in some of the guys on Fishraider. I know that if anyone wanted to buy a boat like mine I would let them have a drive and a good flog of the thing. Cheers Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Custom built is the way to go. Heaps of good builders out there and we went through plenty of boats before chosing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantm Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 New car , new boat how good is that ! Dont know jack about bream boats in comparison to all you guys, but I do know a little about general construction. Although custom is ideally the best, there are some top options around that come with everything anyway. As I found in my quest for a boat (and this is only my opinion) Stacer, Quintrex and Sea Jay all make top boats. Although I wasnt buying one I did look at the vpunts as well (mrs didnt know ) Gotta say the Sea Jay Nomad Elite is very good boat and well worth a look. Very well built boat. Its often overlooked because its not a big name. Stacer also make a nice boat with their Pro Elite. There aint much left to do on one of these. As I said I dont know much about the fit out side options but theses boats look good and are well built for sure. Good luck im sure youll get what your after.

Stevo Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 So your time has come mitch Mate i think first you have to sit down and agree on a price, i went for the poly for a simple reason, that is for the price i wanted to pay, nothing came close, you cant compare a $3500 poly hull to a $15,000 elegant hull for example, there would only be one winner in that respect. I didnt have $25,000 to spend so i looked at the cheaper option and im more than happy with it. Not sure if you coming to the hacking social on sunday, but if you want a ride after the weigh , no problems, just so you can get a feel of what they ride like.

mick r Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Go with what you can afford if you want a CLARKE,POLY,TRITON COME AND SEE ME I WILL DO YA A DEAL... AS FAR AS BREAMAHOLIK GOES YOU CANT BLAME HIM FOR PUSHING A BOAT that he owns Cheers Mick P.S we also do suzuki outboards Edited January 23, 2005 by mick r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thanks for all the replys guys. As said it is a big decision and I need to test out as many as I can before making my final decision. I will be sure to let everyone know what I decide on....Expect more questions and reply's from me in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snag Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Mitch like Stevo said if you are going to the next social id be more than happy if you want a spin in my boat . Keep the questions coming mate, you can never ask enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I think every one knows what I am going to say as well I love my new toy and as Ross said they are all but bullet proof. Raffi knows his stuff and will go out of his way to listen to what you want and then make it happen. The other boat that ran a close second to the Elegant was the Attack Boats. I fished out of Drews boat at the Yamba ABT last year and was very impressed. he knows how to make a good fishing platform. The only problem I had with them were they are on the Gold Coast and its a bit far to travell for mods or warranty. Though this might not be a problem for some. If I was doing it all over again I would also have a look at the Nitros. I haven't seen one in the flesh but by all reports they are worth a look. If your ever up this way again Mitch I would be more than happy to take you for a run. Mines not as flash as Ross' though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
