    Hi all,
    Well! Happy to report that there is finally some movement with my new boat. It has left the factory and is with the dealer to add the finishing touches. I had a look at it last Wednesday and work was well underway. The engine was already on including the digital throttle and shift. The HDS7 live was in as well as all the gauges. They are replacing the 3 blade 23 pitch prop with a 19 pitch 4 blade. I am trusting the dealer that the change is worth it because he has trialed various props on the demo boat and he just happens to be a power boat racer (the big ones!) and is currently leading the Australian championship! 
     
    Still to be fitted were the epirb, the 750b black VHF radio, the fire extinguisher, various USB charger/cig lighter combos, dual batteries, rod holders, engine colour coding, bait board and boat numbering. One item of interest is the radio which has all necessary buttons and controls on the mouthpiece, obviating the need for the control box to be inserted into the dash. I also went for black because I am sick of the white ones which discolour after a couple of years and turn that dirty beige colour. The dealer expected all of the above to be completed by today before going to the trimmers to fit the canopy. He said it should be ready to pick up the end of next week, although I’m not holding my breath!
    I’ve only mentioned the radio, prop etc in case someone has knowledge and wants to comment on any of them.
    By the way, the motor and boat look awesome!!!!!!
    cheers
    Greg

    Sorry Hamish.  I was referring to North Beach’s boat, not mine. Sigh.
    -At least I bought a tube today to tow with the boat when I finally get it.

    Well today was the day, the new Quintrex Hornet Trophy 440 Side Console arrived today.
    Was able to sit in it and work out what extras and where they should go.
    Very happy with the Choice and will try and take a few more pics as it is fitted out this week.
    Yamaha 60hp High Thrust to go on tomorrow, then transfer the Minn Kota, Hydrowave and install Lowrance HDS 9 Live. Lots of other goodies and positioning of rod holders as well.
    Very Happy with the Lockable Rod Locker and can take right up to fly rods or 9ft.
    Huge Livewell up front and smaller down back with Pumps for both

    Getting Excited now, the Initial work done at Quintrex, pick up from Factory and delivery to Dealer Monday afternoon.
    Will be going to check where all the extras are going to be fitted at Dealers.
    That will be nearly a week and then to Advance Canvas for its Travel/Storage Cover.
    Will be another few days.
    But hopefully we are getting near.
    Should go well with the High Thrust 60hp Yamaha behind the 440 Side Console Hornet Trophy.
    No fancy paint jobs, just your basic white with a few standard stripes.
    They could not fit fuel filler on Port side and gone for full length of floor for Lockable Rod Locker.
    Hopefully have thought of what I need fitted up front.
