Hatteras GT-54 Sportfish or Viking?

Liberty, very clean cut, I was a little worried about the all white, but great call on the blue bottom coat and bootstripe.

Also, if you want, I know a great fabricator who can make the swim platform detachable - for backing down. I was going to do the same with the Bertram (hopefully soon to be).

But it's looking fantastic! Can't wait to see her in the gelcoat .

Also, what electronic package did you go for?

Gday Liberty, we are looking at a little Bertram 25 (link below). I couldn't let you and Kafue have all the fun out there .

I think the good thing about the Furuno gear is it's pretty good quality, compared to others on the market, I heard they aren't the most friendly of units, but I'd rather that then having the unit sh!t it's self after 12months (Navman/Northstar was great at that).

Are you getting AIS as well, I used that on the delivery up to Gladstone the other month, it was such a great thing to have, especially with all the tankers up there.

Alexseal came up trumps!

Lol tour guide hey .

Good to hear that she didn't get damaged from the storm, I've been coming back from Hamo this past week and was wondering how she went. Is that her on the bow all wrapped up? Cheers

Of course, container space formula... isn't it like 5 big ones for each container. Did you also happen to price up Dockwise as well, it would be interesting to compare the two....?

16 days, hopefully I'll see her on the water at Xmas!

Keep on Schedule!

Uh Huh....the fuzzy arrow, now I see her!
Liberty I sincerely hope all goes to plan. I shipped almost the same way at similar time of year, except was 7 Star, and she off-loaded in Newcastle instead if Bris. due to the weather, or so they said. I think it was because most the on-board boats were for NSW, but there were a LOT of vessels in those days, whereas things seem to have slowed down now. So here’s hoping all goes good for a Brisbane offload.

Yeah, I didn't see the arrow either,

Kafue, even know there's brand new Rivs and Searays in that shot, I still like the old school Hatt the best, Respect!

Liberty, I'm guessing it's been and gone through Tahiti...? Cheers

Well, there's a good reason you see Furuno on about 95% of all commercial ships. It works and lasts.

Thanks, considering how long ago that design was drawn, it has all my RESPECT too.
There were plenty of Sea Rays and Rivieras, coming home at half price of local stock, hence the terrible dishonest press in the local magazines about the "dangers" of buying in the US.
eg 1 : They are mainly ex sinkers!
eg 2 : They are not free title.
eg 3: They have major hidden issues because US brokers are so bad (like Aussie brokers are all angels!)
In the last 2 years every local boating mag has either an editorial or article relating to the traps and terrible dangers we dumb buyers will suffer if we don't deal locally!

Any new Boats arrived?....................

Gotta love boating!
You will find the right weather window.
Feel like saying try this or that trip schedule, but I know you are in no need of suggestions or help!
So see you in Moreon Bay with a coldie to say "Congrats!"
Stay safe Mate.
