YOu can get them from 50 mtrs to 400 mtrs on live or ded baits and once they get past the magic 10 ft or less mark from where they was, they float up as there swim bladder blows them up like a baloon, but they sure do fight well on braid wow strong runs :)

HAHAHAHA ok i'll stop crying :) 2007 i was out and about looking for a plain hull, one that had just the finished product and nothing else. only one i managed to get was the marco. if i had knowen now what i knew now back then, i would have not had it made. it's far to light and is to fast for me. need's ballest for a start. and a deeper V, i was thinking of cutting off the arse and adding 6ft for more deck space and putting a hard top on it. but in saying that it is one cool boat. being light it uses bugger all gas even for a 2stroke. i was hooning at 40knt's one day at the mount and i was not even full power, so had to back off was a touch to fast for me. what im trying to say is one day i'll get me a 6 or 7 mtr hard top
and then i can stay out all night hunting broadbill or hunting bluefin in greymouth :) dreams are free pitty parking in town aint free :)
