Your thoughts on Hard Top boats vs Semi or full soft tops (approx 5.8-6.5m), I guess depends on your individual storage options... I'm pretty much blocked here, I have a car port in the way at our house can fit a folding style semi hard top as long as main support folds over. Have thought about cutting a slot in itwith a chain saw but I can imagine my wife may not appreciate it..That aside if you had the option of space (height e.t.c) what else would you consider, weight and wind... how do the soft tops vs hard tops rate for smaller boats your feedback?

Nice boat, your right, there are many ways to enjoy the water and catching fish is just a bonus...eh! Ive been looking for something that will keep the sun off and somewhere to sleep for the night on the odd occasion.

Thank you all, bought the Bluewater Portifino 5.8m soft top a few days ago, great boat handles well.. a little heavy and a little slow to plane but have not had the motor over 4,500 RPM yet as has been reconditioned and needs running in. Just fits under the car port when the top is folded down. Much more space and comfort that the old Ramco 5.5 and not tripping over my passengers every 5 mins. Picture of a different boat but the same model, cheers.

2nd hand.... price a fair penny..
