Wrongbait,
no real tactic mate, just compared prices from NSW, VIC and QLD on the usual online sites. compared apples with apples and worked out there was a substancial savings which could be made as long as you are will to wait a little bit longer. with flight prices being fairly low i made a few trips up north to see progress and quality of product and it was definately worth it. in saying that, several other boats (NEW) i was looking at where better value here in NSW. mate go online and compare the exact same boat/package, their prices and locations and you will quickly see a trend.
cheers mate
