Hi all,
I recently purchased a second-hand 2018 Merry Fisher 795. We don't get a lot of these boats available in Australia, so were delighted to find a boat in such good condition within months of first starting to search. It is now the middle of a cold, wet, winter in Victoria, so we've only been able to get out on the boat twice so far. Our holiday house (and our marina berth) is on the Gippsland Lakes in far eastern Victoria (about 300km from our home near Melbourne). My wife, Sally and I absolutely love the boat and are looking forward to many years of fabulous boating. We've had boats before (a couple of open old wooden fishing boats and a speedboat), but this is our first experience with a boat built for comfort.
My next post will be about the one issue that we have had with the boat so far. Hopefully it will be rare that I'll be seeking help from this forum.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your purchase. There’s lots of good information in the archives for evening reading as the current storms pass through.
It’s a great waterway you are on, my wife and I sailed there regularly from about 1970 until we sold our SO30i about 18 months ago. So many great places to camp overnight, and great access to the remote beaches of the coast, just over the sand dunes. We have several other members on the lakes, so keep an eye out for them.
Best wishes for many years of cruising ahead.
