Another boat

[JonD]

Looks like I've sold the zodiac, which I must admit has given me a few sleepless nights deciding whether I should or not. Anyway this old fella has finally decided it's time to own another boat with a seat and even a little storage to keep all mecbits handy!!!!

I missed out on a little sea devil which I've since convinced myself was a good thing really, given it had no seats and very little storage. I've owned a signature 540f and a 505 rf and now decided to go for another very simular 543rf. There's a couple on the market, one with the pre lean burn 2011 suzuki 140 and the other with a Yam f150. The small fuel tanks of 100lt should be fine for most offshore days but I have very little info ( found some ) on the economy on the f150. Are there any users of the Yam f 150.

Hi Jon.

A mate of mine has a 6.5m barcrusher with a 150 yam which is probably 6 years old.  Had over a thousand hours on when he bought it.  Has done a few hundred since.  Runs well a days game fishing out of batemans bay trolling uses around 60 to 80l or so.  Good motors if you get a well looked after one.  Cheers Dave

The fella with the Yamaha engine wouldn't drop in price and the other guy accepted an offer, so 140 Suzuki it is. Just have to pay and pick it up now!!
