TO adapt Castrol’s “oils ain’t oils” line from the classic 1980s Australian television ads: “plate boats ain’t plate boats”.
As highlighted in this article, plate boats are now the most popular trailer boats among hardcore fishos. Traditional mass-production pressed alloy (tinnie) manufacturers have jumped onboard this trend in recent years, which has created a lot of confusion among boat buyers.
