[size=10]1. If you will use your boat only once or twice per year you are probably better off investing the money in an income earning asset. If you won’t be using the boat much you might be better taking a charter or going out with a mate. A charter skipper will know the best spots and have heaps of experience.
Whats your take on kyaks?Are they any good to fish from?Where i am you need only go 100 mtrs from shore to get into deep water where the kingfish and good size snapper are.So a power boat is not really needed and i wouldnt use it that much.
I would recommend to anyone looking at buying their first boat to have a look at http://www.seasurge.co.nz They have a massive range of aluminium pontoon boats. They manufacture all the boats themselves and so can make it how you want it.
