I've now spent about 16 days fishing in the new boat, and still happy with it. Have a few modifications I want to do - removing the oarlocks and putting on more RIBports, some kind of tray on the floor to hold the fuel tank to stop it sliding around, better beach wheels and a clamp-on bait board/transducer mount for the transom.
Just spent 5 nights up in the sounds, snapper weren't really on the bite but had good fun, few cod and some good KY, and my mate got a decent (I think) Kingfish on my tiny bait caster rod with 12lb braid and a kahawai spinner, good weather but the odd bit of pretty big chop and it handles it fine
