Yeah man, that's one awesome rig.
Did they cut you any kind of a deal at the show?
Kiwi alloy boats are definitely my choice when it comes to fishing.

Got a bit of a discount, plus some upgrades for nothing so did alright I guess

I looked at a few after mine was nicked. Even kept an eye on some in NZ. They are out of my range new, .
Ended up getting an AMF.
I'm sure you will get some cracking fish out of it, well done on the purchase.

There's a few reasons. More boat for your $$$, weight (I do a lot of towing), easier to clean and so on.

Our last fibreglass boat cracked from transom to bow, turned me off fibreglass.

Lastly, the Extremes are just such great looking boats, and the ride quality is up there with the fibreglass's

I've got the 605 at the moment, absoutely love it so it was a natural progression to upsize. I recon the Extremes blast surtees and barcrusher out of the park on ride and build quality, and design of the cockpit.

Sounds fair enough to me mate.

Have you driven the other ones for comparison before?

The reason I ask as sometime in the future I might be looking for something in that range....
