I’ve not had work done in SE Qld so cannot say which is cheapest or best. Have had good work done in Hobart, but it was bits and pieces of rigging, ss metal fab , not canvas and only minor upholstery. . My bimini and dodger were done in Sydney. Work was good but cost a few thousand.

Rarely been on boats with forward scanning sonar, tho am on one now. As luck would have it, unit has just been replaced as original snapped off probably after hitting driftwood . Main use is when looking at slow speeds for a spot to anchor in places where charts are not reliable (this is more often the case than many realise) or there are coral outcrops and you cannot put a spotter on the bow eg when sailing solo. IMHO, not the first investment to make ahead of others but maybe useful depending where you’re going, after you have already addressed other priorities.
