Congratulations Greg. Nobody ever regretted buying quality. The 80 should really fly. Mind you, those mad Ba#@#ds down in Invercargill put a 100 on one of them !]]> Fri, 08 May 2015 13:06:22 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=108753&PID=1555223&title=5m-aluminium-boat#1555223 <![CDATA[5m aluminium boat : Thanks folks.

Thanks folks. Been doing the hard yards over the last couple of weeks and surprised myself. In the end, I placed an order for a Stabi 1650 Fisher with an 80 hp Yammie.
 
Should get it in 2 weeks or so.....
 
Who needs a boat show anyway ;)

35k is that entry level and you wont get the perfect boat. Safety first, which is a good strong hull and a good reliable motor. you will get a head spin at the boat show with so much to choose from good luck.]]> Fri, 08 May 2015 08:12:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=108753&PID=1555169&title=5m-aluminium-boat#1555169 <![CDATA[5m aluminium boat : gregvisser wrote: Thanks folks...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=108753&PID=1553752&title=5m-aluminium-boat#1553752 Author: Southern_Jez

All the feedback seems to indicate that ducks need to be in order before the show and then just negotiate the deal on the day. Are the deals to be done that good? Assuming a $35k boat, would there be $1k or $2k in it doing the deal at the show or is it more healthy based on experience here?

keep a list of the pro's and con's of all the boats you look at, when you are done looking at boats then review the list and see who has the best ratio of pros vs cons and go with that one. Sure it wont be perfect (nothing is) but it will be the one you feel most suits your requirements with the smallest amount of compromise.

I definitely got $2k or more at the boat show especially when extras were added - at cost price to them. Talk about base price boat do the deal then ask for a cost price deal for extras. If your looking at FC see Ben from the Hamilton branch - he will be there and a great bloke to deal with.

Guess what I am gunna say.....talk to Harvey at Allenco. Get your boat custom made. You get to chose your gunnel height, cabin size, hull thickness etc etc. might cost you a coupla extra grand BUT you will have the boat of your dreams.
Harvey. Allenco. 07 888-8162. Go on, do it! 😉]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2015 18:43:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=108753&PID=1553607&title=5m-aluminium-boat#1553607
