appreciation post- first boat - trophy 2002
hey guys just wanted to send a bit of a shout out to everyone who helped me in the decision making process of buying my first boat
i know i was swaying up between fibreglass/ali, half cab/CC/walkaround , budgets and all!
i ended up choosing a fibreglass hull with the full walk around capabilities
its a 2000 hull with a 2006 mercury 175HP 2 stroke engine
a special mention to Mike and Rob who helped a lot in choosing this boat (i know its a bit bigger then what you were recomending Rob! haha)
iv taken it out twice now and goes extremelly well in the chop and swell!
all your feeback was great and i know im going to have 100 more questions moving forward! iv already learnt so much about boating in the last month
again thank you all for your help! now to land those dream fish!

Congrats mate.
I've got the 2052 trophy. Love it. Really like the walkaround. I'll quite often jig off the nose while the decky fishes bait out the back. Great boats, enjoy

Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Re. the rather green looking "babes"- nothing a couple of Travacalm tablets (and some Red Bull) before the next trip won't fix!
