Buying a river boat (tinny)

Post by Blue vlt » Wed Aug 27, 2014 9:08 pm

Hi all I am looking at buying a tinny brand new for the golburn shep to echuca Murray as well as muwala/eildon/Hume. I am wanting a side console for trolling. I was wondering what size boat people have for these applications. I was looking at the quintrex 420 hornet trophy. Also I want a 4 stroke I like the suzukis. Any opinions suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Andyk thanks for the quick response. But I am at that stage where I would prefer a brand new boat.

Bm why would you say a rear steer instead of a side console?
