NEW MODEL Formosa GRT 425 | Walkthrough

[@beatems]

Damn that storage part at the back of the cast deck would make a good livie tank

[@FattyMatty426]

My mate just bought one and we took it for a whip in the Brisbane River last night. This boat is amazing.

We've had so many people love this model! Great to hear!

[@nerdskiii]

That front deck storage hatch could be retro fitted to be a live well! Can a underfloor bilge be installed in this boat? or no access?

[@rob7385]

How do u anchor when u mount the electric up the front there! Needs a plate mounted up front there for the electric for sure other than that looks the goods

[@paulmilligan9896]

A trolling motor will bolt straight to the bow foredeck. Anchor well in the forward most hatch of the cast deck with cleat and bow rails as tie off points.

[@rob7385]

@@paulmilligan9896 yea I see all that but you want your anchor rope running straight out the bow of the boat thru a jam cleat or bow sprit not tied to the cleat and around a bow rail. Much better design to have a trolling motor mount of the port side on such a nice little boat!

[@paulmilligan9896]

@@rob7385 easy solve…. Some guys fitting trolling motors will never need/want a bow sprit. Guys that want a bow sprit instead of a trolling motor can easily fit one after market - plenty off the shelf. Guys that absolutely have to have both could get a plate fabbed/welded on - it’ll be easy to modify with the raw ally finish.

@@paulmilligan9896 who wants to mod or solve issues on a brand new boat should all be an option from factory! And yea most guys who install an electric will use it 99% of the time over and anchor! But on the odd occasion when you’re fishing with the kids, camping in the boat, towing it as a tender or anchored up in decent current up north fishing the runoff you’d want it setup right! In my eyes you want your boat as universal as possible is all I’m saying and I’d be surprised if I’m the only person that thinks that way! Just my 2 cents worth🤘

[@Castathon]

I want one.

[@GoldCoastBoatingCentre]

Yes got about 30knots with the 60hp.
