North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

It's actually with a bit of sadness that I'm selling the 'crimson tide' but I'm looking for a boat with a cabin.

This boat has no expense spared and has everything you need to fish for barra or the blue water. Huge beam makes for heaps of space and versatility. Extremely safe boat built for the conditions up here.

That looks like my new boat. If only the wife had been working a bit earlier. That would be just what we would be after when we do get to buying a boat. That would be great out here on groote.

Sanigav,

Whats the make of that hull ? Was it built in Darwin or elsewhere?

Looks like the old Boab boat, they were all Amara hulls but I think that hull was still the same survey design just built under contract by someone else. If my memory serves me. Not built up here, they are all built down east coast.
Not a bad hull, very similar to my boats, I know the original navel architect, nice guy.
Would be a good boat for up here and a good price.

Good luck with the sale

yeah you fellas don't miss a beat. Its the Amara design, built in Newcastle NSW. It's a really solid boat, and has been certified with positive floation which means that it's unsinkable. Optional bung plugs?! Haha i never tested it out but its packed full of foam, reverse chine and other fancy stuff making it really stable once you anchor up.

the paintwork isn't that pretty from jetty scuffs and branch scratches, but the engine purs and the hydraulic steering make it a pleasure to drive. nice and easy to hose out too with the sealed deck

Good boat, good price. I'm surprised its still for sale 6 hours later.

This boat still for sale?

yeah it sure is. apologies for anyone who had been trying to call over the last few weeks. i got called away for work but am back now for the rest of the dry

Can I ask how the 90 goes for a big boat, have a feeling this is probably a lot of people's question?

Well I'm definitely not the fastest boat out there, it cruises at about 50km/h @ 4500rpm. Max speed of about 60. The max hp for the hull is 90hp which was surprising. The good part is the fuel economy. I use about 70 litres on a trip to north gutter and back.

SOLD!!!

Great boat, bring tears to my eyes selling that one so cheap.
