Thanks everyone for the 4m cat fishing tender suggestions.
Have been looking at the Raeline 4m, the Livingston 14ft and the Twin Vee.
Also looked at one called Seahull, http://www.seahull.com/ a plastic 4m cat
with a landing craft bow ramp possibility. Has good hull shape, but early
days in production so still needs refinement to be a yacht tender. Suits
duck hunters or as a work boat right now. Like the bow ramp concept. Saw
that working well on a slightly larger 5m version,

Raeline is nicely finished and a reasonable price option but loses a lot of
space inside from a larger than needed foredeck, though has a very nicely
formed stern. Trying to get 2 swivel seats behind the console and 2 in
front, only the Seahull can fit this with a 3m x 1.5m deck.
Raeline deck is 2.3m x 1.4m.
Saw a fairly good option from Sth Africa

Will probably end up having to modify a Raeline to get the interior space
back in and add a bow ramp, or work with the development of the Seahull as
both are local.
Anything to be imported still has a list of pro's and cons and the extra
freight unless I can find more options out there.
