I've been in plenty of other boats including the D pontoons and your surtees ramco,marco, mclays,fryrans, haines signatures, reflexes, haines hunters sea nymphs, steadcrafts, seaforces , bonitos. I catch more big snapper and marlin than anyone I know out of a 16 foot trailer boat.
If you can get a 490 for 22K its a good buy.
My boat 12 years old done way over 3000 hours long ago on 50 four yahmi and 1000s of of nautical miles -we usually do 80 to 90 on a usual day gamefishing.
It handles tuts to brett and back; trench and back to tuts.; Muriwai to where you can see Cape Egmont; Leigh to Great Barrier; Leigh to Mokes....show me another 16 footer that can do all that.
f you want a bigger boat (more room) have a look at stabi XCs about 5.8 mteters made around same time -late 90s.
The 490 Stabi boat says..."eat my dust "-there's never been a finer small boat built by Stabi or anyone else -which I why I still own one.
This is not an angry post -its a proud one. Suceed on! |
