Hi guys,
Just chasing some info on the Reefa runabout plate ali's. Anybody got one/had one? looking at the 18.5 footers atm ..
I'm just trying to get some background info before i take it any further and spend all my hard earned cash!
Cheers in advance,
Brendo

We had a secondhand red 5.5m
We had a secondhand red 5.5m (1991?) Reefa 10 years ago....we considered calling it "EILEEN" as it used to lean to the Right side when underway and at rest! We also considered "BALANCING ACT"
Was quite a bit unstable due to the sharp V hull. Used to cut through the water nice but ..yeh...pretty touchy at rest!
I think Reefa and Koolyn craft were the same once upon a time and both similar/same boats.
Recommend you take it for a test ride first! See if you like the feel! As with all boats they all have there niggly rides...whats ok with one person isn't always ok with another!

hi guys, Ended up buying one
hi guys,
Ended up buying one on saturday. Has a test ride with 4 of us in there and liked the feel of it so i snapped it up. Put it in twice already and have loved every minute of it especially the crabs i cooked up last night!!
Thanks for the input
