Welcome to the November mid-month edition of Shipmate News and reports from around Australia confirm that we're in the midst of a boating boom.

Pre-owned boats are hitting the market and selling quickly and achieving good prices, New boat sales are reportedly going well, marine trades are busy and most of the feedback indicates that the industry is bouncing back, no doubt fuelled by people unable to travel and looking for holidays or a family lifestyle relatively close to home.

In this edition we've got another good mix of marine news from around the country including new model releases, interesting new products, industry achievements and more. So sit back, browse through and enjoy the read.

Cheers, see you out on the water
