is that a package deal poly $32,000 for the boat and the girl ??

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I think that I actually saw that plastic thingamajiggy poly was refering to @ the boat show 2day & the price tag was just under $38 k

hustler fat chance of that I'm telling if you buy it you'll get an ugly looking guy in fish net stockings with hairy legs instead of the girl

Take my word on it I saw him 2day & looks nothing like the pic in person

poly I think you've mis read somewhere along the line

Even B4 I even bothered to do a search of the boat I felt something was haywire there is no possible way in the world you can can a genuine plate boat for that price & I hadn't looked @ prices for years.

And you did say B M T $30.820

B oat
M otor
T railer

After doing a search which I might add yeilded very little info of the boat let alone the link you posted maybe it was just me but I found no specks on the boat whatso ever which is a worry as far as I'm concerned every other site throws specs in your face maybe you can find the specs ??

Anyway I did find a price on the 5.2 meter boat & it was $44,990 & the link you gave only had 2 sizes listed so I dont know why in the hell you're putting on the angry face smilly for ??

In another thread I mentioned that I went to the boat show today even the tinny's went for more than $30 k & some of the plate boats that I saw were built to budget nothing there really caught my eye for me to have a rave about.

In fact some of the plate boats even had ply floors talk about building to budget it's very easy to come up & say I found a boat for 20, 30 or $50 k what one has to then do is look @ what one gets for their money & if you have to go out & spend another $15 k + on the boat to fit it out then I'm afraid you haven't done your homework & you've been sucked in by the dealer.

Some of you may recall a thread back @ SF where I was argueing with a couple of the members there about plate boats ?????????

The boat in Question was a trailcraft & my arguement was that it was not a true plate boat & alloy sheet was used everywhere except the hull ??

Well I went looking for the Trailcraft stand but they didn't have one nor did I see any of there boats was in one of those moods for a debate had to get my money's worth as there was nothing else @ the show of interest to me

Anyway what I did find was a couple of responsible Plate Boat Dealers who advertised their product correctly unlike Trailcraft does the boats were advertised as Plate Bottom Boats & these boats didn't even have creased sides like the Trailcraft do.


My Advice to anyone in the market for a new boat is to look @ the 2nd hand market you'll find alot of people buy new boats keep them for a couple of years & rarely ever used them in the time they owned them these boats have very low hrs & come with alot of accessories which really dont feature in the price you should be able to pick up a pretty good deal if you're not one of those impatient people who wants it 2morrow

Whoops 4got the link

J G if u recheck my post u will see were i got the specks from it states in the article that the standard craft is $30.820 as tested with all the fruit $45.500

[Jumpus GooDarus]

I dont waste my money buying magazines poly 50% of contents is advertising & any stories are 6 months old

However you did state standard B M T $30.820 & like I said BTA is Boat, Motor & Trailer

Even @ $45.500 it's safe to say you'd need another @ least $10 k to fit it out

u are right J G i did make a mistake when i said it was BMT and for that i am sorry, but the fact remains the complete boat did have all the fruit the only thing i could see that u might want to change is the targa top for a full t top with rocket launcher and that should be well under $10.000

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Mate I can tell you one thing for sure think I've been retired for about 6 years now & I nearly got a heart attack when I started redoing up the goats.

Just how much things have gone up in that time Alloy for example has skyrocketed @ least 50% in the last 6 years one thing I'm good @ is I've got a bit of a photographic memory & know how much I paid per sheet 6 yeas back & what I had to pay recently.

So when I saw $30 for the package something didn't add up, recall some 8 years back I got the itch for a bigger boat & went down to Gerrigong to price a hull only upainted just a bare shell cause I like to do my own fitouts back then I was looking @ $24 k just for the hull

Nice Boat Poly! But I still think you san do a lot Better, and I would want to check the year model of motor.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

That is exactly what I was talking about poly !

Go replace that boat new @ 2days prices & you'll be shocked not to mention if you're not in a hurry bet you can shave the price tag off the one you posted not to mention all the accessories which weren't listed but come with the GOAT.

Just by looking @ the picture alone you can see that goat has had very little usage

Give you guys another example & I wont mention what Dave did either cause you'll laugh @ him

Another mate of mine going back about 4 years wanted to buy a boat well I told him to look around for a good used one, this advice he did not heed esp being his 1st boat he ended up going out & buying some fibreglass thingamagoaty brand spanker think he paid about 70 - $ 80 k.

If that was not bad enough ended up trading his new BMW in & bought a bloody comodore of all cars so as he could tow it boat was around the 22 ft mark.

Anyways ran into him a few months back & asked how the Goat was going well he had sold it reason given Lack of Usage

So true, Problem with finding a second hand boat though is getting finance, Can alsways geta personal loan but Yamaha offer a great package.

I know your better to save, but im one of them people who has money in the bank and spends it..

If its going each pay day befor I see it i dont have a problem.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

You younger guys are unbelievable

You want everything today but never sit back to consider the consequences

What even makes you think you can afford to even use a new boat Rum ???

Having an additional loan to pay off & what if something goes wrong & you have to come up with $$$'s to fix it ???

You'll end up like all those others I mentioned who flog their boats off

Use your Noggin if you're gonna burrow $$$ then do so for an investment not on toys
