Alloy or glass...It's an age old debate...I went aluminium because they are easier to tow and require less horses to get up to speed. I also got a Stabi because we use it for skiing and diving and the pontoons make it really stable when you are getting in and out of the water. I know it's a tough pill to swallow, but generally speaking, Kiwis simply build a better boat.frozenpod wrote:bull mate.Mattblack wrote: *Kiwi plate boats are far superior to the stuff made in Oz (probably something to do with the harsher ocean environment or more competition between the multitude of manufacturers)
Most mass produced plate boats are crap, built cheap. The BC560/610/615 is a prime example. Probably the most over rated overpriced aluminium boat on the market.
Stinkistabi is worth a look up in particular the engineering report into his hull.
I have to admit that the extreme look good but if I was going plate I would get a custom built boat that is built from the inside out.
I made no mention of AU vs NZ. Suggest you look up the engineer report into the Stinkistabi.

My old boys work mate bought a tabs from the last boat show (granted only a 5m boat) and couldn't be more displeased with itsmile0784 wrote:Been in a barcrusher and didn't like it. Was like drive Ving over corrugated iron sheets.
I go the extreme over anything if I had the money.
Anyone tried the 6900 ocean series by tabs boat?
