rsm150d Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi fellow Raiders I'm looking to buy a 5 to 5.5 meter open fishing boat and seeking for your advise or suggestions to what I could buy for around 35k..

squidboy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Quintrex Top Ender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_tate Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Depends how open you want. We have a 5m Quintrex CoastRunner which we love which is in that price range. Small enough to drive in 800mm, creep in 400mm, walk in 200mm, but big enough for inshore trolling in most conditions. Easy to launch and retrieve solo when needed, with a drive-on trailer and a second mate and a decent ramp, a piece of cake to manage.

martymonsta Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 What about a Polycraft 5.3m Centre console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsm150d Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 What do guys think of Formosa classic, tomahawk or the sea jay boats. Has anybody been on one or own these boats.. Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish2relax Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Daniel, I had a Trailcraft 540 Profish several years ago. Good solid boat. Side console. Equivalent to the Top Ender. Only sold it as I was getting into game fishing and the thing would bang around when running wide. Was fantastic fishing inside and within the harbour.

shakey55 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) You would get a great Seafarer V-Sea (5 meter) for less than that money. Not an open boat a cuddy cabin but the best in that size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 19, 2016 by shakey55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
