Notice that they call their their cruisers small boats.
Too me a small boat is an open tinnie up to 4 metres

Looks like a Evolution 600 or 650 I think.

Try fishing in stiff conditions out at the Horseshoe off Portland Vic during SBT season.
6m-6.5meters IS small.

The show is leagues ahead of worstblokes icantfish. At least Al fishes from his own boat and has skill as an angler.

Yep small boat and they were sooking about the good conditions.
Interestingly they were C&R quite a few snapper most of the fish clearly had burst swim bladders and probably had a low survival rate.

Yeah it's all reletive I reckon.
Likewise I fished the reefs at Altona in a 10 foot savage gannet with 4hp Hanimex outboard & caught heapsa fish over the years.
Then again, if yer fishing small rivers for say trout or cod, a 4 meter boat can be too bloody big at times.
But when you're 100kms out into the Southern Ocean, chasing SBT & it starts blowing 30 plus & building with swells from 4-5 meters & getting bigger every minute, 6.5 meters of boat is like a bloody esky lid.
I've been out in a 40 foot MFV tuna boat when a decent gale blew up & thought it was too bloody small
