Nice Blue water, WG could post a pic on the internal layout please. Looks like a good setup.

Gregg, the 150 has worked out really well, very economical. Initially i thought it might be to small cause it is a big boat but its very well balanced.  i cruise along at 22 knots at   24-25 litres per hour and trolling days @7.5 knots are 8 to 10 litres an hour depending on conditions, wind , current etc.
The 250 litre tank gives me good range and i can head to the Barrier without having to get gas over there at their heavy rates.

Mine is a 650 Ramco Renegade powered by a 135 Evinrude. I have a Raymarine C70 and Raymarine autopilot. Was already set up when I brought it, so I can't take any credit for its set-up.

Good 
- big enough for everything we do as a family - game-fishing, diving, camping, overnighting... you get the drift.
- not too large to handle, and big enough to handle trips to the Barrier or through the Manukau bar
- have been caught in some marginal weather, and have had no concerns about it's handling
- Had done 60 hours when I brought it, and has now done 300 in nearly 4 years - has never missed a beat, although I get it fully serviced every spring. Fuel economy is OK -  not as good as a 4 stroke, but I don't do enough hours to make a huge difference 
- the bimini top is actually pretty handy compared to a hard-top - can take clears off on a nice summer day and take down when traveling to make towing easier. I carry good wet weather gear in winter as I can't hide!!
- trim tabs - would never go without them

Bad
- no live bait tank - have a portable one which is a pain. Not a great deal of room for one either because of the battery set up and oil tank on the other side
- anchor well is shallow so occasionally have trouble with anchor rope laying up properly (if thats the right term)
- not much headroom in the cabin, although the plus to that is a flat front deck to walk around on
- had to change anchor winch as the first one seized up completely.
- no marlin yet...

All in all works well for us, and I'm in no hurry to trade up.

Had a awesome day yesterday, Left Toots at about 7:35, got to the Moke's at around 8:45, dropped the spearo's at a few secret spots, Kingi, snapper, pinkies, butterfish and crays, saw a couple of pods of Orca and a few Wales. No swell no wind, pityy we had to come back to shore!.

My new play thing.
6m Everyman HT
F115 yamaha, capstan, livebait tank, raymarine a65 sounder. 120lt tank, hydraulic steering.
Only had the boat a couple of months and I'm more than happy with its performance, A reasonably soft riding hull with its moderate v, In a following sea its drives straight with no tendercy to move of line, It has  very large down turned chines that gives it great Stability,  Fishing area is huge for a boat this size, you can jig 4 people with room to spare.
It needs a door for the walk through transom, other than that I'm happy.
