Wantingaboat Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi TH, I am not sure which boat in particular you are talking about but i hope its not the ranger330. Thats one retarded looking unit. With respect to your question, i went through a similar exercise a while back. I couldnt justify spending the extra money on a quintrex for example. I ended up buying a brooker which was at a great price however i do believe that i got what i paid for. Its a great boat and i love it though it is not very stable at rest which makes flicking solft plastics around a bit more difficult. A good mate has a 4.35m hornet trophey and fishing from that is sweet. The best piece of advice i can give you is decide on how much you want to spend in total and then add a few thousand as thats what you will want to spend on extras trust me. For me personally i find the cheaper boats still do everything that i want just not as well as the more expensive options. Hope that helps a bit. Cheers Mike.

a boat Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi, what model are you looking at because with the Raider discount a Stacer might not be much more than the brand you mention. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Mattarelli Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 thanks for the advice guys to be honest with you im looking at the Commander 400 I didnt want to spend that much money but sort of like the look of it I really dont want to spend anymore then $4000 on any boat cause i really just want something to get me out to the bridges and stuff nothing to serious yet its going to be my first boat I would be more interested in a good secondhand tinny to tell you the truth i just dont have much money at the moment and finace seemed a good way to getting something alittle bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points above, keep in mind the Chinese boats will have a much lower resale value as well, I know a couple grand seems a big difference but it will get forgotten after a while.
