Fitting Out

Buying a new boat, or a pre-loved gem is one thing, but ‘fitting it out” and making it perform and work right up to your expectations is another. As delivered, most new boats need a considerable amount of work to make them truly ‘ship shape’. In this section, contributors from different parts of Australia, with a wide range of craft, share their experience and knowledge about the ‘hows and whys’ of fitting out a boat to ensure it delivers the performance, comfort, safety and fishing ability needed in a modern BMT package.
In particular, check out Mike Levy’s excellent report about sorting out his Quintrex 485, and /or Neil Dunstans’ widely acclaimed report all about setting up his 455 Quintrex Dory.
