ast a 200k tonne ore carrier under way, watched a drill rig sail by, then got a icy pole and said gday to Red Dog, livin the dream in Ktown.

Tough gig!
Sounds like you were doing it pretty tough there, jutt.
Nice looking boat....what's the best features of the Coraline? Looking to upgrade and like the look of the Ocean Runner 670FX.

Coraline
Rusty, yes mate a great day out indeed. Best features of the Coraline, built tough, the pipework around the windscreen is rock steady, gives a real feeling of security in the rough stuff..no sliding windows means it can get a bit warm here in ktown though. Other features are a clean and tidy deck, plenty of storage, big kill tank, lot of room in the cabin for the lunchtime nap (im 6'3" and i can l lay down in there). Nice wide beam means very stable, good placement of handrails and grabrails. I had the boys from Coraline retro fit the hardtop, best thing ever. Also Allboats fitted the Suz DF150, love it!
Check out Boatcity.com.au and look at new boats-Coraline and click reviews, some good info there.
What partof the state you in mate, can take you for a lap if your in town.
cheers Jutt.

Whitehills
Hi jutt
I'm in Whitehills, a bit too far away but thanks for the offer of a spin in yours.
Thanks for the info about your Coraline, too. Been looking at a second hand 670FX Ocean Runner and went to Boat City on Saturday to see on 'in the flesh' (not that my missus will cough up for a new one).
The open hard top is pretty sturdy and like you said, nice an beamy, lots of deck space and the cabin on the one I'm looking at is plenty big enough for us....just hope I can squeeze the toilet in there somewhere!
There's a few other things to consider as well, but they do look a nice boat.
regards
