You buying a boat are you andrew?

i want info lmao...

and yes in the very near future...

My mate got one last year 5.2 from a dealer in Mandurah. Went on it twice ,made for fishing

i think offshore marine in Guildford stock the bar crushers andrew

by Chivers a ride as well mate.  Made right here in WA.  I've got the new model with the ballast control system like barcrusher & it rides & handles exceptionally well.  My cousin who owns a Trophy went out with me & loved it after trying to convince me not to go ally.  We drifted at the same speed without me needing a sea anchor.  I had looked at the Barcrusher but liked the added width of the Chivers.  Good luck...cheers Ben

If you can find one 2nd hand, you'll find they hold their value pretty well (and I know, I've been looking). Expect to pay $40k plus for a fairly newish used 5.6m version. If you are thinking new, work around $50k plus for the 5.6m version depending on options. The 6.4m will run you $60-70k plus depending on options etc.

Its a lot of coin for an ally boat, and given some of the deals around for the f/g boats I gave seen, that looks more like the route I'll take.

Bar Crusher is a major sponsor so they use their boats on their fishing trips up and down the east coast. They look pretty good.

I have a 6.4 bar crusher with a yamaha 150 4 stroke. I am happy with the package. I bought it from Offshore Marine in Guilford.

I also have a 6.4 with the 150 yamaha 4 stoke. Very happy with the boat, great fishing rig. Took it over to abrolhos last year in some pretty ordinary weather and it handled really well.

Cheers guys for the replys....

went to offshore marine today for a looksee and was very impressed with the setup and finish of these boats..

barrd up and teto just wondering the 6.4 what is it like at rest whilst fishing ect in fairly average weather do you get chucked around alot...??

and is the 150 big enough for the 6.4??

cheers andrew

Andrew,

 Mainly drift fish with 3 guys on one side and the boat is fine, don't get knocked around anymore than my previous 6m ally. Remember the barcrusher sits down in the water a bit when the chamber fills.

 Wanted to put the 200 on when I purchased but could not justify the extra at the time. I am happy enough with the 150 but if money was no concern then I would go the 200.

I also have the 6.4 with a 150 yamaha on the back they are very stable at rest and as for power Ive been out with a mate who has a 200hp on the back of his 6.4 and he could do 4knots faster.
