Kosie cat with 2 x mercury's 50 hp oil injection touch trim assist.

Both are nice boats and you would be happy with either one.


The oil injected 50s will be a lot lighter on fuel than the big foot 60s and are probably a bit more "green", the big foot gear box has proven its self.


In the end it comes down to personal choice and which layout you want, look at the condition of the boats and the motors along with hours and so on.


Take R10000 and crumple up each note, set them on fire and watch them burn, if it doesn't affect you and you didn't cry then you ready to own a boat

What's your budget and are you limiting yourself to only these two boats

So I got myself a Invader Z craft 17.6 WITH 2 X 60 yammies 2 strokes FULL HOUSE.Spent a bit more and added a live well, removed the bar stools and installed bum seats.Looking now at putting on 2 x 70hp 4 strokes yammies as they are light.weight wise.
So far very happy and been in bad seas the last 3 months .Just the fuel is getting a bit bad, using on average about 3 to 4 tank per trip.
Must say, been trolling from Totie side all the way up to west brook.
