Hi Kimtown, 

I've done a few reef fishing charters as you have planned. I have multiple sizes with the new 2020 Saltiga and 21 Certate SW. I would definitely recommend the new Certate SW as it has 95% of the Saltiga technology but for 40% less cost. Highly recommend Tasline Braid 80lb for GT hunting (breaking strain 116lb) and 40lb for the flats. It's silky smooth without coatings to allow 15% extra on your spool and less chance of wind knots. Buy some small diamond coated sharpeners from Bunnings (pocket size) and make sure your hooks are always sharp. Enjoy!

Hi Leeroy 1, 

If you can get into a fiberglass boat over an aluminium boat your back will thank you. These days the big 3 (Suzuki, Yamaha, Mercury) all have good reliability and you will be happy with any of them. Are you thinking side or centre console?
