Attn Jon, I called hunts marine Blakehurst Mid May And spoke to Jim and Ian on the phone about a few things regarding the 460 renegade. I was already sold on a 460 renegade with 75 etec. I met up with Jim in store the following weekend had a quick look around and placed the order. Having grown up in several other boats and owning a few myself in the past this is the first new boat purchase. I have taken it out 5 times in the couple of months of owning it and have to say for the price you pay it is a great all round boat particularly in the river, bay and offshore.
First run was the local ramp at Hurstville Grove went out the Botany heads and back on a average day to test its capability and was cutting through the chop surprisingly well and keeping us dry. The following week i towed it down to Bellambi to catch a couple snapper, the boat handled the 15+kn offshore winds surprisingly well also. The trailer design is probably one of the best i have used. Easy to drive the boat off and on. Got the foldaway draw bar fitted and fits inside the garage also. The 75 etec has plenty of torque in it and gets the boat on a plane with ease and is great on fuel. Thank you to all involved for a pleasant expirience with the ordering process. Kind regards,
- George Kalithrakas
