I was in command of this one from Sep last year through until the end of May this year when I moved to palmy.
Till a few months ago the boy and I have been using a smartwave3500 but this summer the Mrs watched us come in to the beach and suggested it maybe time to get a bigger boat

So went shopping and came home with one of these:

Attachment 53062
Seaforce 430 - 40hp 4stroke, runs on an oily rag, big step up in finish from similar size ali boats.
Has LED running and anchor lights, bilge pump (for when the beach landings go wrong), and still small enough to set the net with.
Thinking of looking for tuna in it off Karikari next summer, even put a ladder on the back to encourage @Mohawk660 to
come up and bring his dive gear with him.

@Barefoot nice boat mate, If i had to downsize that would be first on my list.
I imagine it would be near perfect on the lakes, especially the way Taupo cuts up at times.
Where do you go from karikari?Quote:

Get a 4 stroke, that will drop your costs (bar buying the motor)
All this boat posting's got me looking back over recent summer photos

I'll have my boat going by salmon season so will be able to wake you up in the mornings R93 :thumbsup: Just need to drop an engine in it now...
Got a big fecking boat in a container on the way from china also.
Once the waters warm enough you won't have to go more than a few miles out, she gets deep fairly quick just round there in places and has that big ocean flow passing by.Quote:

Then there was

mines an fc430 14.1ft or 4.3m bloody good safe and solid boat shes been as far as the kaipara graveyard and Simpsons rock (behind little barrier) although I wouldn't suggest going that far in a boat this small innless the weather is 100% and its very unlikely its going to change and you are a confident skipper do as I say not as I do lol
I don't have any decent pictures. Old man built it in a small warehouse over there. Goes pretty good.Quote:
