FINISHED! The PA is now ready to get wet!

[swabio]

Well, after much delay and stuffing about, I finally finished the fit out of the Mighty MARISTIKA......... aka my Hobie Pro Angler!

All I need now is some decent yak weather

I have a second seat for the kids to sit on in the 'cargo' area of the PA, obviously will remove the bungy to ensure they don't get all tangled up The livewell will be in there when I go solo

I ended up putting the light switch to the right hand side of the seat......... below the power cable for the H'bird fishfinder

Here it is in all its glory................

[adambris]

as henry would say. . . "Pimped!" love the kiddy chair mate, my boys would go nuts if i had that!!

[eg_vtec]

very well set up! good work

[tomca]

needs some squid ink or tuna blood staining it for fishin' cred.

Looks comfy, hope to catch up for a sesh and see it in action

Hope your first fish on it isn't a catfish.

Lovely ship, have you named her yet?

Here's a tip - "Titanic" is not a lucky name.

Great fit out!! Hope you get your first capture today.

What's the all up cost?

Luc

[Saffa]

Looks bloody good mate. You will have great fun going out in that.

[tugger]

Nice rig and the deck lights look good but do you have an alround white light on a pole up high other wise it could become an expensive speed bump

[Keen-as-fisho]

HMAS MARISTIKA Awesome looking ship mate, I have often thought about getting a PA but the outback is more suited to my style of fishing. Hope it has plenty of mojo

[Schmuck]

Nice one Richard! You've had to wait a while to use that sounder

[Guest]

I don't have a all around light yet, have been trying to work out what one to use.......... probably get the visicarbon pro flag / light system i think.............

Great fit out!! Hope you get your first capture today.

Hmm didn't go fishing today........... all up fitted out it was a bit over $4.5k......... :blush:

Nice one Richard! You've had to wait a while to use that sounder

Sure have been waiting a while to use it!

That's not too bad given the base cost for the yak.

Hope you get on the water today or Monday!!
