Polycraft 4.1

Hi guys. Been out of the bream scene for a while but getting getting back into it.
What's are people's thoughts/experiences with the 4.1 Polycraft. Looking at an open boat with a 50hp yammy 2 stroke with hydro trim.
Me and my fishing buddy are both over 6 foot and over 100kgs. Just wondering how the stability and ride will be with 2 big boys. Any things I should look for with a second handy?
Cheers in advance.

4.1

Hey mate...I have a 4.1 poly and it's gold...do a full casting deck at the front, 2 batteries underneath and the rest for storage. Then do an extension of the casting deck to fit a livewell in the centre and more storage on the sides. run a wide shelf down the non drivers side for rods and you're all good. they're a great solid boat at a good price...fitouts are cheap and easy.

cheers

Thanks mate. I've always liked then. Not popular in Adrlaide at all so they can get a bit pricey

Loved mine sort of regret selling it
As others have said ride great and very little maintenance.
def needs 50 hp though as they are heavy for a 4.1.
downside is very few factory options available ie live wells, rod lockers etc.
renegade would be a bit more of a crossover boat I imagine.
if just for bream then you wouldn't be disappointed.
