I think they are made by a yank in
Cairns called Bethurem .
They are OK I guess , but very low sides for croc waters . I think healso owns Bushman anti bug stuff.

Think you mean a "Tarpon"?

Wanted one myself at some point. Bit exy, found a tinnie on a trailer on the side of the road for $500 with a trailer instead.
Good Luck.

I havn't seen it advertised under that name only ULB. The attraction for me is the weight. I have roof limit of 65kg, so it is
well within that and upto 20kg lighter than most tinnies that size. So weight also impacts handling. The side height issue is why I want to see one before committing. At present I need to go to
Cairns to see one unless I can find some one closer to home.
They don't deal through a network, only factory direct.
The magazine "Fitting out for river abd lake fishing" gave ita good right up, but that is all I have seen todate.
It must go on the roof, trailing for me etc is not an option for me.

Have made contact and they sent by email a brochure - but to commit to a boat unseen is little bit of a stretch for me - that is why I was seeking contact with some one local who has one. They have told they have sold some 200???? so they are out there.
