Didn’t go either cause bridge was closed on and off Saturday and had wife’s 60th Saturday night.. But those profile boats are awesome. Seen a few recent profile models up close, including the  635HT. Finished beautifully.

I went on the Sunday. Thought it was okay but average compared to years gone by. Prices have gone through the roof and didn’t buy anything at all.

Couldn’t find Lazercraft. Did see someone post about Southern being there though so likely the same boats. I thought the Offshore design was very similar to southern/lazer.

Extreme did put a lot of effort into their display. I was disappointed in Senators stand as I really love their boats.

Marco had some good boats,

Long gone are the days of decent affordable family boating options I think. It’s all about crazy designs and big prices nowadays. We may see a big swing back to fibreglass options like the sea nymphs and similar designs in the 70s for the average families if not already heading that way. For all the stick they get at least Fyran had a competitive option for families wanting to get out on the water before they went under.

Ah well that’s my rant over 😭😂

The Offshore boats are built in Whangarei by Lasercraft

If I had the money I would have bought the 635HT Profile on the spot.

I wonder if I could get some Profile boat 635H stickers to put on my old girl… the stabi ones have virtually worn off after last 20 years.

Question. Are there really that many Ali boat companies in nz or are they subsidiaries of a parent company?

Like Toyota Subaru Lexus or damiler which is Mercedes fuso frieghtline?

Just a rebranding with a couple of add ons

Yep Scampy that is true what you said…glass is good though for hull. They just need to adapt a bit. Most of us will trade better riding hull for frills but it needs to sensible and give us what we want.
