That is definitly a true statement but the bigger boat is just a pain in the arse, Can't manage it on my own, need to launch at a ramp, fuel costs are horrendus if I were to use it as much as I would hope.
Not to mention expenses always go up but ......................................... does not.


Have you considered seeing if these guys do a smaller version than the link I have just attached
Alloy hull fish dive HUNTFISH 4250 | Trade Me

Seems floor might be fully sealed (buoyancy you are after) and they might even do it in a kit for you

Fugly, looks like something I would build by drawing on cardboard and cutting till it looked like a boat...kindof...almost.

I am not a boat designer hence after a proven design not something someone like me built and put on trade me if you get my drift.

resale is also a consideration if god willing situation improves and I can run something bigger.

Fair call, their little jet boats are really popular though
