queensland New Boat In Fnq

[pancakes_and_haggis]

Hi guys been a little while between posting but the weather has not been to flash up in Cairns as of late.

I say a result of that I had some time to think about my boat and my setup and decided to advertise my Fisher has an expression of interest to see what it would Fetch

Well unintentionally sold in 4 days so I had to move fast to secure the new boat which I'm extremely happy about

It's a 2050 Stabicraft Frontier with a 150 Yamaha pushing 65 km an hour in 15 knots of wind 

I should be able to bring more Reef reports and photos from up here with this new weapon

Couple of puctures for your viewing pleasure

Looks like a sturdy rig, Callum.

Should be getting lots of mojo soon.

I’ve got a 2020 boat and thought it was modern, but 2050! Wow!

Hi Callum

That looks wonderful! I hope to hear of some serious trips with it!

Cheers Hamish

Nice one Callum, should get lots of fun out of that. Going to do any spearing out of it? Looks like it would be well suited to that. Putting a bimini or some sort of shade on it?

Interesting looking at the photo of your Fisher - do you have any photos of the dash mate? Yours with the fold-down windscreen option is good - mine can't as it has side grab rails/braces welded to the windscreen frame unfortunately. Also noticed the netting/webbing underneath the canopy - what did you store under there? 

Is the photo deceiving or did the trailer have an extra-long drawbar? Looks like a tilt trailer. Interesting that yours had dual-wheels whereas mine (which is longer) only has one - would definitely be safer with duals for highway towing.

Sorry for all the questions ..... always on the lookout for ways to better utilise a boat

That's a reef fishing machine! There aren't many plate boats that ride like a Stabicraft or are as stable at rest.

Robbie hasn't seen my boat yet so tagged him as mine is/was Callum's Fisher is the same as mine (minus 20cm) . Now get back to editing Hamish's spelling/grammar/punctuation .....

Spell checking keeps him busy as he doesn't catch many fish

Okay but 20cm can make all the difference in certain circumstances.

Cracking boat mate. That is gonna be fantastic. Mate you would even be able to do your makeup in the mirrored sides!

I'm betting it won't take @pancakes_and_haggis long to have some blood stains on it ..... then his makeup will look it's running a bit ....

mate that looks awesome!! Looking forwards to seeing the results of being able to get out wider and further.

Ripper boat mate that’s awesome, I’ll let you know when I’m up there next
