			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are proud to announce the arrival of the Boston Whaler new model <a href="http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=mD2keOjG-nk">345 Conquest</a>. Along with the unsinkable safety that only Whaler can assure, this luxurious and comfortable new model includes innovative features that set it apart from others, such as an integrated windshield and hardtop, a centerline helm and a beautifully appointed cabin.<img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_qmc.jpg" class="imgRight" /></p>
<p>The 345 Conquest is Whaler’s big cabin boat designed for the maximum enjoyment of deepwater fish fighting, cruising or dockside socializing. It provides a smooth, dry ride and exceptional performance. And – like all Boston Whalers – it’s built to last, and is backed by the protection of a limited ten-year transferable hull warranty and our new three-year component warranty.<img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-coverbeach_qmc.jpg" /></p>
<p>Several of the world’s leading boating magazines such as <a href="http://www.sportfishingmag.com/boats/boats/boston-whaler-345-conquest-54222.html">Sportfishing Magazine</a>, <a href="http://www.boatingmag.com/article.asp?section_id=4&amp;article_id=968">Boating Magazine</a> and <a href="http://www.boatinglife.com/article_content.jsp?ID=21288564">Boatinglife</a> have given the new model rave reports. You may read them on the links provided.</p>
<p>Who should buy it? When &#8220;How strong?&#8221; is a more important question than &#8220;How much?&#8221; you are a Whaler customer. This new model is ideal as a vacation home in your favorite marina or as a weekend cruiser to offshore destinations.</p>
<p>Our boat is available for inspection on QMC&#8217;s Display Arm at Gold Coat City Marina, just<a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/2008/10/10/boston-whalers-345-conquest/240/" rel="attachment wp-att-240" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/345cq-002.jpg" class="imgRight" /></a> call us for an appointment.<a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature2_721.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature2_721.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature3_723.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature3_723.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature5_724.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature5_724.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature6_721.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature6_721.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature7_721.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="oyo"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/08-345cq_feature7_721.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">After much anticipation, Sea Ray has announced its stunning new model; the 475 Sundancer! From its sexy exterior lines, to the large open cockpit, to the sensuous VIP Stateroom, this next generation model is about to set a new standard in the industry.<a href="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/2008/09/04/sneak-preview/177/" rel="attachment wp-att-177" class="thickbox" rel="jdcf"><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/09_43da_lifeweb.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p>Compared to the 455 Sundancer the list of extra standard features on the 475 Sundancer is quite extensive:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm" type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal">opening Skylights</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">integrated Hardtop and Windshield</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Electric side windows</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Dual vent windows</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">larger Generator</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">increased fuel capacity</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Cockpit Sun pad</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Dual Helm seat with thigh rise</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">enlarged Wet Bar and Galley sinks</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">increased Transom storage</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">entry door screen</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">yacht wood interior</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">larger Salon sofa</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">private guest Stateroom with twin beds</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">increased storage in the V-berth, to name just a few. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p><o:p> </o:p>Perhaps the most exciting feature of this new Sundancer is the <u>standard</u>, twin 425-hp CMD engines with <a href="http://www.searay.com/index.asp" rel="external">Zeus</a> drives! Not only will this boat deliver outstanding top-end performance of 36 knots, the joystick control removes all the stress of operating a boat.<o:p> </o:p>The feel of luxury and elegance, plus an abundance of natural lighting radiates from the interior, with optional wood salon flooring, large hull windows, skylights, opening port lights, stainless-steel appliances, Ultraleather seating and high-gloss cherry interior cabinetry. Wooden Shoji doors to both staterooms ensure privacy, as does the split configuration of both the mid-berth and forward stateroom heads. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The large, open cockpit with a new, innovative sun pad design, increased cockpit seating, optional electric grill and drawer-style refrigerator, optional defrosters, and portside companion seat lounger all make the new 475 Sundancer party central. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The 475 Sundancer also carries the latest technology in entertainment, offering unlimited opportunities for fun, with a Salon 26-inch, retractable Flatscreen, LCD TV with DVD player, optional Cockpit and Mid-Stateroom TV’s, Sony stereo system, an MP3 port and iPod docking station and optional inverter, to keep the fun going when the lights go out. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>In keeping with the Sea Ray tradition, the 475 Sundancer is a beautiful boat with everything any boater needs for cruising, overnighting, or extended trips, yet has all the latest and greatest technology to ensure safe and confident operation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p>Motor Boating magazine has said, &#8220;I like the 43/475 Sundancer. It shows the extra attention to detail Sea Ray owners have come to expect from this brand. They won&#8217;t be disappointed with the builder&#8217;s newest launch. I think the boat is impressive for another reason, too. We&#8217;re living in an uncertain economy these days, yet this company has chosen this year to introduce an all-new boat that incorporates revolutionary technology, convenience-enhancing features and top-shelf workmanship. In my mind, those things seem to reflect the builder&#8217;s optimism and confidence in the fact that true quality will find its market.&#8221;</o:p></p>
<p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p>For the full review go to (remember the 475 Sundancer is called a 43 Sundancer in the US):</o:p><o:p><a href="http://www.motorboating.com/articleHtml.jsp?ID=1000064196">http://www.motorboating.com/articleHtml.jsp?ID=1000064196</a></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p><o:p></o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.whaler.com/Rec/default3.asp?boatid=25" rel="external">Whaler 345 Conquest</a> attracted a lot of attention as did the new model Sea Rays, but the new <a href="http://international.searay.com/sport_cruisers.asp?modelid=111718&amp;modelyear=2008" rel="external">Sea Ray 355 Sundancer</a> was definitely the hit of the Show.</p>

Eat your heart out Southerners. Sea Ray Owners Club friends enjoyed the last weekend of August at another favourite anchorage, the Basin at the Spit, Southport. Sheltered, quiet and with easy access to car parking on shore this is an idea gathering place for boaties.
All year round boating doesn&#8217;t get much better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.queenslandmarinecentre.com.au/news-events/wp-content/aug-08rafted.JPG" class="imgRight" />Over the first weekend in August Sea Ray owners rafted together at one of their favourite get-aways, <a href="http://www.mclarenslanding.com.au/" rel="external">McLarens Landing</a>. Last minute organising to take advantage of the promised weather had ten families turn up to enjoy each others company for a couple of perfect days.<br />
A lazy Saturday was spent with the kids playing on the beach or tubing while some adults played with jet skis. An equally lay-back evening was spent enjoying time on each others boats. Later that evening, through their newly installed Bose sound system, Darren and Karren hosted The Sound of Abba aboard their beautiful <a href="http://www.searay.com/2008_sea_ray_sport_yachts_44_sundancer.asp" rel="external">Sea Ray 455 Sundancer</a>.<br />
It was the maiden voyage for Steve and Anne&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.searay.com/2008_sea_ray_yachts_52_sedan_bridge.asp" rel="external">Sea Ray 525 Sedan Bridge</a> and its amply large cockpit provided a popular venue for card games on Sunday. Meanwhile, the children enjoyed being towed about in their tubes behind Steve&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.boatsplus.com.au/boats/quicksilver-boats/350-amanzi-inflatable/prod_1611.html" rel="external">Amanzi inflatable</a>. Other children preferred the fishing, some even caught a fish.<br />
The weekend ended with a comfortable trip home for everyone in perfect weather, and with everyone looking forward to the next Rendezvous.</p>
