Jiggy Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Guys, I am thinking about changing boats to something that I can use both offshore and in impoundments/rivers etc. The main requirement is offshore work. I have had my eye on the Stinger 580 for a while as they look good for this type of compromise work: http://www.stingerboats.com.au/ These types of hulls seem popular in FNQ inside the reef but the seas conditions there are very different to what we get down here. The question I have is how does the longboat type hull handle the average sea conditions that we get off Sydney? Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamtime Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It may be worth having a look at the Yamaha Southwind also - very similar manufacture and is available in several configurations including centre consol. I could put you in touch with a dozen or so owners of similar boats if you would like their opinions. PM me if required Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
