puka9988 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 hey raiders, my family and myself are looking for a boat but cant find any that will be able to hold 5 people. we need one that will be able to hold at least 5 people just for a day when we all go out together every month/year what ever it will be. My brother, dad and i will mainly use it for fishing though. what should we look for? second hand of caurse because that will be the only thing near our price range cheers, stockoboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methodman Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Mate guna be hard to find a 5m+ boat for 8gs that doesnt need work. Im selling mine at the moment 5.5m Savage. 115hp 4 stroke Mercury. Brand new Furuno 620 sounder, outriggers, live bait, all safety gear, Built for fishing. Im asking 17gs tho but thats negotiable. I did the same thing.. i was looking for a boat in the 5m+ area and looking at around the 10gs mark but everything i found needed major work or a new outboard. Spend the cash on something you know will run every day. Nothing worse than breaking down time after time.
