Bargain, looks like you did well in that deal!

Did it come with the motor too? Does it go?

Used the batteries for the first time today at Baroon, went good! thanks again.

Yep came with the motor, a first aid kit, anchor, life jacket, fuel tank. oars, v sheet. Full takn of fuel and a bottle of 2 stroke oil.

Motor started 2nd pull.

Trailer has a little rust in 1 cross memeber. About 10 min with grinder and 10 min with welder.

Trailer not really of interest to me as i will use it as a car topper. Brother in law needs the trailer however.

I wish I had a place to keep a boat:(

I'd love something like this, especially after fishing Baroon today a boat like this would be perfect.

Yeh mate, took a bloooody long time and the charger wouldn't show above 85% full, but it just may be that i was too impatient! I bought a little hand held metre that showed it was full anyway, so maybe the charger lies?!:dry:

Will be interesting to see how much juice we used trolling today. Trolled for about 70% of the time we were there (6.30-11.30).

get outta here! just take a spoon of concrete and harden up! then you can actually take the kayak places

Shorty, Lenthalls trip is in two weeks, think you could manage to sneak up to christen it? 5hp is perfect size, Ray has the accommodation booked for the week with both weekends included.

[shortie]

At this stage i will be in Darwin. Gotta got up and give training on some product i sold. But there is a chance that that could change to weekend coming.

[shortie]

anyone got some tyres to go on 13 inch rims lying around. Will some some for the trailer before i got to far.

[Feral]

Just had mine on the Rio changed, could have saved some for you if I'd left it a week.

I just put new ones on my trailer, only cost $54 each, by the time you pay someone to change and balance a pair of old tyres, the difference to new is small enough to consider seriously going for new.

[Angus]

Nice one mate.

Make a great dam buster with a leccy...

Yeh i got a 55ld electric from an old boat that i have loaned to a mate. Might be time she came home.

Bow mount with foot control. Might be a pain in the bum might have to look at a tiller as there are no flat fllors in the boat.

[kriso]

mate i saw that boat on ebay she's a great buy. It said the guy that owned it was ex navy officer or somethin

Put your sounder on a bracket, and put the foot controller on top of your electrics box, nothing says you have to use your foot, they work fine by hand as well!
