Hi guys,

Took all of 10min on Trademe to sell my kiwikraft 440 so in need of a new boat. I am interested in what people think of these two rigs and which is best suited for me, good or bad. I know every boat is a comprimise.

I need the boat for

1. Fishing

2. Wakeboarding/buscuiting

3. Carrying people to beaches maybe 6 adults or 4 adults 4 young kids.

4. Manukau bar on a good day

5. Solo launching

Either post here or pm me no worries.

Bodget of 30k, would like to spend less, have found a good deal on a huntsman but need to know its the right rig

Thanks for your time

Matt

Matt, I'm not very fimilar with the lighting or Dorado but IMHO another one to seriously consider would be the relflex chianti 515. Removeable carpets for fishing, a good size cabin for putting the kids in when then it turns rough and they are a very soft riding/capable boat for their size.

Yep 5.15m hull length. Have a look on the reflex website they have a very good rep.

mate had one and didnt like the way it handled ,dont know if it was the way he had it trimmed or what but the arse used to feel like it was dropping into the trough .

also the step down into the cabin is in the way when someone stands in the middle under way ,mate used to put his tacklebox there to stand on

what happened to the pissing man?
