How ya going Fizfisho
I check out the formula boats never heard of them before....
Really like the sea nymphs and the v13 maybe an option cherz....will mainly just be me and my boy and mate fishing.... something that size would easily fit in my garage.
But understand it's only guna be for calm days I got little boating experience so probly start my boating on river,lakes b4 headn out to sea....
Do ya think you could fish 3 on a v13 alright or are they mainly a 2 person boat?

You want a small glass boat go for a formula, or the same hull used in the haines SF485. a legend hull. VERY popular and well sort after still do this day in Aus.

but likely out of your price range. my old one use to do 80kph through a chop.

with a good bilge pump, nasty days will feel a little safer in the low freeboard, but i dont think id feel any safer in a mac. the mac is just more stable, the glass hull will be a smoother ride and likely less wet imo.

$5k will get you a bottom end sea nymph 146, or a top end v13 with a newish engine. ive seen the v13 used as spearfishing boats.

a lot depends on experience and obviously not going out in 20 knot+ days, which i wouldnt go out in any boat to be fair, i hate wind.

How's your search going Paul?

Here's another Marlborough at a reasonably cheap price, just needs some interior valet effort:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=1306886758&cc=602&pid=565665141&hbc=&member_hash=&ct=title-link

Lake boat. 40 + 2 HP.
Something cool about the nice 'Retro' look they have imo.

Best wishes,

I've got that Marlborough on my Watchlist also. It's a very 'classic' looking boat with nice lines. Too far away from Auckland though for me.

This just came up on TM:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1297382475

Motor needs a recon (or a 2nd-hand motor) and you need a trailer but it's down your way. A cheap start project?

Anyway, good luck with search.

Hey Paul, I would highly suggest giving the voice of reason a well deserved break. Maybe cook up her favourite meal or two, do the laundry, clean the house, a massage or three. 

Then slip in the boat factor and try bump her reasoning higher keywords like 'safety for the kids, trouble free' and so on.

Otherwise i'd say at 5k you'd be limited to fyrans / dinghys. Unless you are handy and know / don't mind learning how to fix up older boats that need some love.
