[Jords]

As I pointed out extensively on Facebook - MAD!

can't wait to have a crack at it come october/november!!

[tugger]

Sweeeeeet

[Doobsy]

Congrats again mate.

Beautiful rig.

[eg_vtec]

very nice rig manni!

[rayke1938]

Looks a really nicely set up rig. Whoever set it up knew what they were doing and even going to a braked trailer. A lot of the dealers miss out on that as the total weight of a fueled up rig and a full live bait tank puts you over the 750kg limit.

Enjoy.

[Dell]

The bluefins are a very nice boat. Hope ya smash some fish in that thing.

[Manni79]

WOW thanks for a ll the nice comments about the boat, yeah totally stoked !!!

Perfectly kitted out for fishing, just need to get me a sounder and I'm rockin' and rollin'

Raye a braked trailer was a must for the same reason you mentioned.

Mal, was eying off the this boat for a while, good reviews and good feedback from friends/people I chatted too

They make V bow punts for smaller sized boats in their range but not for certain boats i.e. wildcat and others that are larger...

This is my first boat so it's all still a big learning experience lol I kinda don't do things in halves

[daveylad]

Nice looking boat, youll love the E-Tec will really make it move along at a pace and easy to look after.

[kreel]

Sorry mate but it won't look right until its got blood all over it.

Should we all start thinking of a name for it?

AFO came up with "HMS Ladyboy" for KAF's yak.

Awesome ride Manni. I was looking at these on saturday at the boat show. Exactly the rig i'm looking for. Fully decked out exactly how I like it.

Very Jealous :-)

Congratulations on the new arrival!!

Very versatile rig manni! Looks awesome!

[Surfingant]

Manni you !!#*#*! the Wildcat is just about my dream boat! When I was a delivery driver in my old job there was always one sitting out the front of a marine dealer that we went past and I nearly had more than one accident perving on it That is an absolutely sweet ride mate I'm sure you will get plenty of enjoyment out of it, now I just have to be quick when a decky spot comes up
