Hi Guys looking for some advice on people who have been in or owned a Lazercraft 620, a Ramco 650 sportfisher, or buccaneer 605 to compare.
been looking for the right boat around 6m (<35k) for months that fits the bill and really struggling. I haven't had this problem on all my last boats.
boat will be based in Whangapoua so need to cross the bar. want to be able to go offshore, take out wife and kids, plus mates every now and then, so needs to be safe and stable, comfortable but good for just fishing as well.
found a nice lazercraft 620 with a 115 Yamaha. concern is it maybe unstable at rest and not as good down waves given fine entry, which could be a concern coming back over bar it if roughs up. I have read the under 6m are not too stable at rest either before they widened these once southern sports took over. not good with wife and kids.
found a nice 605 2000 year but at top of my budget. would the ride and stability be much better than the lazercraft or ramco 6.5 and worth the extra dollars. a bit concerned about it getting chipped up on concrete ramp and pier with kids holding the boat too. I am confident this is a good boat, but I am looking to see if the other two alloy boats could be as good in the sea.
For the ramco. there is one in Wellington (I am in Auckland) 6.5m with a 135 optimax. seems to fit the bill. how is the ride on these compared to a lazercraft or buccaneer. Don't really want to go there if its not really comparable.
leaning towards the alloy boats, but concern about them not being as good compared to a buccaneer. looked at some haines hunter sf 600's and older buccaneer 605 / 560's, but they were old and needed heaps of work and/or repower etc.
