Just Me 0 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm sure Rickster will chime in here.I've been very impressed with his. Plug Her, 4THALOVE and Rickster 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickster 0 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 As Just_Me has stated i own the 530c and have found it to suit my needs quite well, i updated from a Brooker fisherman C/Console as it was not family friendly. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and will give you info you wish to know. Bear in mind all boats have their good and bad points and even they depend on what the individual is looking for. ;)Feel free to PM me if you wish.

4THALOVE 45 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 been out wide in Ricksters crusher a coupla times now and loved it even bagged out on whiting which locally these dayz is rare in itself you dont seem to get as many bangs and crashes that come with most tinnies due to the shape of the hull he's done a few mods to his which i think make it even better as well cheers 4THA Swoopa and Rickster 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RJ5023 230 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 If you're keen on a Barcrusher, you should have a look at the Surtees as well.Better boat IMO. (got one)Cheers, Rickster and Swoopa 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moggy23 625 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Rickster followed me out to the Goannas last Sunday morning and did a great job in the 1.5 mtr plus seas.I also have fished out of Rickster's 530 and found it stable and very well laid out for the fisherman Rickster, Swoopa, Just Me and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Bar Crushers and Surtees are great boats. Only got to see how many of them there are out there to know they must be good.May i suggest you also give some consideration to Quintrex with its flared millenium hull design.Its well worth giving it some consideration at least so you can say you crossed your T's and dotted your i's before actually forking out a considerable some of cash for a boat.

Swoopa 1 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks lads, your suggestions have been really helpful. The Surtees and Bar Crusher look very similar and both loaded with great options. Popped the questions last night to the (boss) and it went down quite favourably. You little beauty. Now its time for serious reseach and shopping. See you on the water, cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
