Galeforce's are superb bay/inshore/estuary boat than are built to spec for whatever you want to do.

Also on the Gold Coast Drew Grifffiths ATTACK boats are a Tournament Boat that is highly regarded.

Went to the Gale force factory for a mate of mine once while in Brissie, was very impressed with the boat and the way they are constructed, would buy one for sure if I was in the market. The factory in hidden amongst sugar cane fields quite unusual really but they do make a fine product. I think there is two or three of them here in WA.

You missed the .au on the end Beni.
This is the link http://www.attackboats.com.au

There are quite a few Aussie built glass boats now. Most people would have seen the Pro Strikes obviously but then there are things like the Labsport which is a cracking looking boat and built on a very well proven hull. Lewis ski boats are now making a bass style boat. Haines Signature have a new 4.8 which is set up for sport fishing and looks fantastic. If anyone has seen the new Club Marine magazine there is a test in there on the Haines. I don't know if Southern Star are still building their model or not but they were a nice looking boat that was also capable of a bit of inshore work. Full Boar are making boats again as far as I know under new ownership too.
There is probably a few others still but I can't think of them at the moment.
This is the Labsport.

I think they're being sold as a Lewis Typhoon from QLD these days.
