That would be cool Mikee. I think we will be getting a cuddy cabin boat. I would like a 4 stroke honda or yamaha but is there any advantage in having one other than noise and economy?

Trim sensitive in the cruise? You would have the trim, pre-sussed/set for all scenarios?

Alloy mono hulls can be a bit sensitive compared to a same sized glass boat but they are lighter and more robust. People moving around while on the crusie can have an effect. Stabies and other pontoon boats don't have this issue so much. I have a mate with a 7.5m Southern, I brought his old boat, Another with a 6,9m one and another mate has a 6.5m McClay. I am sure I could get you a look over them too
Heres mine



As for electronics well lets just say by the time I wave, I have already got your spots with out even stopping

Very nice boat by the way. Just a tad to big for me seeing I will have to tow mine everywhere.

Just to prove we are not all fair weather boaters here's a video of 2 of my mates Jigging at Stephens Is for kingis in less than ideal conditions
Boat is a McLay 650 with a 150 Yamaha 4 Stroke.



Th owner of this boat replaced the 150 with a 250 last year as his 150 had done over 500 hours in 3 years. They like their fishing they do
