get a glass boat, my Haines 495 (4.95m) goes anywhere in the bay, and can handle itself in a bit of swell offshore, I do have a lot of power that helps. You would be able to go virtually anywhere in the bay, and outside in that boat I reckon.

Well a 4.2 get me all around the bay so I think 5m would get you out side depending on the HP anything up of a 60 should be fine

On a good day it will get you all over the Bay and really you do not want to be out there if it not a good day. I use a 4.2m tinny of similar design and it is ok. Only thing to check out is the way the boat is constructed up the bow. The bay is a bit different to the estuaries and impoundments and you will need to handle some waves. If it is not strong enough up front and you fish the bay a lot it will start to crack up and buckle between the supports. You really need to think how much you plan to do it. When I bought my boat I only thought I was going to fish dams and maybe estuary. Since then I have used it at least once if not twice a week in the last two years. It is starting to show the stress of jumping the waves. Just something to think about. A plate boat would handle the conditions better for my situation.

It'll be a top boat for the bay but i'm biased i love tinnies

Perfect size for Moreton Bay. My old boat was Seajay 4.3m with 50hp, it was fine for the bay, until the weather changes. lol

From my very short experience it will be ok. If it gets ugly out there it just means you have to go slower. I am lucky and have a yami 4 stroke so can go all day on a tank of juice.
