Long term (15 years) favourite
monthly boating mag. Tough,
'tell it like it is' boat and engine
tests, and heaps of practical
info from one of the most
experienced teams of writers in
Oz. Aimed at boats in the
3.0 to 13 metre range.
Imagine having your boat under that waterfall ! We follow a wonderful adventure series where three families took their 7- 8 metre boats complete with kids to the Kimberley. Three trailer boats, three families and thousands of miles for a trip of a lifetime.
We compare the the very popular Yamaha 15 hp 2 stroke and 4 stroke tiller steer outboards. Both Yamaha 15hp outboards are tested on the same boat, on the same day – full fuel data graphs – get the facts! We list all of the outboards available in Australia complete with their latest prices, specifications, emission ratings and weights! Peter Webster looks at an exciting new version of Boden’s DIY 6.1 kit plate alloy kit boat. John Sullivan shares his scary experience delivering a secondhand Precision 42 from the Gold Coast to Merimbula. Enjoy the latest news - state roundups from New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Northern Territory. We test Haines Signature’s new 485 open RTM boat with a Suzuki 70hp. Sally’s Galley features tasty seafood treats. Home workshop shows how to make a cheap DIY anchor winch.
