I used to own one of these, liked it so much I upgraded to a Seaforce 530. It’s a gull wing design so can bang a bit in the chop but very capable for that size of boat. Feels a lot bigger than it is and super stable at rest. Mine had a 40hp Mercury Lightning on it which went well but 50hp would probably be a bit better. I like a glass boat so suited me well. Fished 2 comfortably but I have fished with 4 no problem. 2 up would max out at about 26kts and would pull the kids around on the biscuit no worries.
If I was looking for that size of boat again, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.
Oh what a smasher - two eggs and a rasher!

There are usually 3 or 4 on trademe but seems to be bit quiet at the moment. I think people tend to hold on to them for a while. The guy that makes them is on his own so not mass produced.

yep seconded, After picking up my Seaforce boat from Ric he stated it was the boat got them through the GFC - they pumped out 430s for a year or so post the crisis as people could justify spending a little bit on a boat or downsized to one.

There was a couple for sale 2 months ago but you are also coming into summer........
