Guyz,

Just want to get some insight of what you guyz think of this sort of setup to be used for a bit of bream and a lot of bass in impoundments -

Unreal Boat

That with a 175hp Mercury Optimax

What you guyz reckon???

Cheers,

Aaron

For another Aussie boat, check out the Stessl Bass Boss.

... or for a true Aussie fiberglass bass boat that can go offshore, rides smooth, and can be decked out however you want inluding like those bass boats; see http://www.fullboarboats.com
The website doesn't do them justice but they are sweet boats to fish out of... and FAST!

Guyz,

I have seen a fair few of the bass bosses and just don't like them ey, there is something about them that just doesn't look right to me, and the full boar ones are just not the shape i am looking for, and everything i have heard about Ranger is good, cept for the weight of fiberglass but i can deal with that. The setup i want should get fairly hooking, and it will be the ideal setup for bass tournament fishing with all the rod lockers the running rod rack, big livewell and best of all the built-in esky lol.

Cheers,

Aaron

Fair enough Aaron. What's the cost to bring in one of these beasties?

chris_lemess · #6 15-10-2003, 01:10 AM

Try getting a Ranger in to Australia...! Let me know when and how you did it!

What is not right about the shape of the full boar? You won't find a better shaped hull for what you want to use it for. Rock solid stable and cuts through the water like you wouldn't believe. Weighs less than equivalent sized aluminium boat (no wood in the framework).

afiedler · #7 15-10-2003, 01:15 AM

Guyz i have been told i can get the hull for around $25,000 au. Which is alright considering the worksmanship in it. I would buy the motor over here for sake of warranty and peace of mind. Chris i have been talking to ranger(actually Genmar) about the possibility of getting ranger boats into australia. And it has already been done actually. The shipping would cost around $2000 although i am not sure what sort of taxes would be applied.

cheers,

Aaron

ranger has the best hull design in the business...
no body comes close!!! widebeam, stablity, planing pad is really small, meaning less energy needed to push the boat forward, even though its heavy,in my opinion they run far better than alum boats and the extra weight does have an advantage that they dont get blown around like leaves in the wind.

and lastly but not least they look downright fantastic!!!

afiedler · #9 15-10-2003, 01:42 AM

I like the way u think zimeric, I reckon they are the best on the market to.

Cheers,

Spent a day fishing from a Ranger a couple of years back, would not give you two bob for one

Hewes boats are far better

Gambler boats are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Brett i fished outta Mike Connoly's X16 at boondooma and it was fast and good to fish out of but i want something a little flasher and slightly larger. But still a very nice setup he had.

Cheers,
