Hi guys, this could be interesting, the answers results i will get. Have been in many boats in 40 years of fishing, my favourite most smoothest ride was my 19c haines. Have been in Barcrusher, Bonecrusher! tabs, pounds too hard, evolution rides poorly, great at rest like bonecrushers. Was thinking either a marlin broadbiil, 6mtr or sticking to a more uptodate haines 580c or 610c. But am watching a beautiful boat on boatpoint at present http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-s ... R=11147088. Am well unsure, ,love my makos, kings etc, but want a smooth riding hull. Have heard the 580c rock around abit, so any help would be great. Aluminium boats are noisy, ride badly, the cheap brands welds are 3rd rate, had a stessco centre console brand new, what a poor quality boat the was, cracks appearing nearly every trip, same as formosa boats. Am very keen to get some feedback, thank you

we just bought a new boat from jv. Its a 5.25 mtr revival cuddy. It has a 90 hp evinrude etech engine and cuts through the water like a hot knife through butter. We got some extras put on it including a baitboard, live bait tank and a few other bits and pieces. Cost us about 37k. So far so good. Only had it for 3 months
