Probably not pedantic, but I get your drift. I can only say in my defence, I have never been a petrol head and therefore can only repeat what I was told and it sounded cool to me? Anyway it goes like the powers of piss, super? Turbo? Or whatever. In future if asked I will just refer to them as...

Hi Benn, Storebro are ship builders in Sweeden. They make the larger Nimbus on contract. The Storebro 435 Commander is a quality built ship with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. She has twin Volvo 370 hp super charged turbos and goes pretty quick. Best speed for Eco and comfort is 12 knots...

Storebro435 Hey mate, search the above link for info on the boat. I tried to upload a photo not sure it worked. It has twin 370hp Volvos, super charged turbos. It gets along ok but is very thirsty when pushed. Most economical and comfortable at 8 - 12knots but will do 30 if I need it.Equiped...

The Nimbus inspection went well. Very nice boat. Made an offer which was countered, we then went half way, stalemate. Meantime, we found a Storebro 435 on the Gold Coast. Did the due diligence, made an offer and we now own a beautiful ship. Much bigger than I anticipated but I have handled her...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies to my search for Aussies on this site. Obviously I didn't look in the right places. I have been asked to add some info about myself which will help to get the right answers or advice. That's o k but I am new to this site and not very tech savvy. I am a bit of an...

I have just joined the trawler boat forum as I am looking to buy a trawler type boat. Wondering if there are any Ausies as I have only seen posts from yanks. Not that I am bothered by that, I have found all the posts interesting and informative. But I need some local support to help me make the...
