My mate has a centre Console one, uses it for offshore fishing they are good hulls.
I know Nathan (Flat Rock) fishes on one the same as my mate and he has taken it to Browns a few times, and they get fish, they are good boats.
The one pictured looks like an estuary boat, it does not have a deep deadrise? Bottom looks flat sort of, but may be the photo, but the spray dodgers at the front may mean its a wet boat?

Mate they are a great boat, I also know a bloke who is selling one at the moment and it looks a bit better than the one in the pic. The bloke is meticulous with it, almost anal, the engine is stripped and rebuilt each year, yep each year before he goes to Fraser Is, no he is anal with it. The trailer is redone each year as well. If you are interested get back to me. If I were in the market for this type of boat I would buy this one.

Kevin, it may be a little out of the price range you were aiming for but here is the link http://www.boatpoint.com.au/boats-for-sale/details.aspx?R=2759450
As I said it is kept immaculate, top electronics and even the winch bearings have just been changed. Injectors are new, the list goes on. Still worth every cent.
