Well, that was an interesting first round, with 10 out of 12 of us failing to get even half the tips correct.

And I don’t even know how the other 2 did it?

Looks great!

Would love to try and setup radar to pickup birds and some topwater action! Have read this can be just as good as scanning underwater  

You’re welcome to come out sometime and have a muck around with it. And all the other electronic wizardry that also baffles me. lol.

? Didn't I make sense ?

I'm saying put up a For Sale thread in the Classifieds forum.

https://www.australianfishing.com.au/forum/60-classifieds/

 

Then post a link to it in the Stejcraft thread

that has been going for a couple of years. Everytime someone Googles for a review they come on here and have a look at that thread.

Thanks. Didn’t realise we had a classifieds area. So I’ve done the first part. Not sure how to add a link under the ss64 thread though.

Hi mate,

Thanks. No, there aren’t too many boats as fast as the last one. This one tops out around 30 knots, and for some reason, I don’t get whiplash when I touch the throttle?

cheers

Greg

And I still have the other one, in case anyone is looking for a very nice boat and a bit of a bargain.

Hey Kelvin, do you have any idea why you are suddenly showing up as a club member and most of us just have member next to our name? How much is that costing you are a year?

Actually, that was one of the benefits I listed as I tried to justify the expense of radar to myself. lol.

We will see if it actually works in practice!

Hi Greg,

I went Lowrance HDS 16 Live with the 3in1 Transducer as this fitted my budget and I have had Lowrance on my last 2 boats with  out any problems, plus I didn't have to relearn anything.

I looked at Garmin but it was 10k for the package & the Lowrance was only 7k. So, I put that 3k towards a lonestar anchor winch package.  

Good thinking 99. Stuff pulling anchors up.

Note for future generations of AFO members.

Just for the record, all of the above fish were caught by me, except for those where other people are showing in the photo. 

cheers

All, 

Boats arrived.  got held up a little on the docks for nearly a week with customs & waiting for the trailer to be ready.

N/S Marine are making a few adjustments for me regarding my layout of Yamaha gauge & GPS/Sounder combo to ensure it all fits nicely as it's a really tight squeeze on the dash.

Should be ready in around a weeks' time for water testing

Hi Josh,

I calculate that you got your new boat sometime in October and I got mine in February, four months later.

So, taking that into consideration, does that mean I’ll catch a 10kg+ tuskie by June?

Also, on a serious note, what sounder/gps did you go with?

cheers

Greg

Love the new Boat! @GregOug you are living the dream and definitely have your priorities right. You must have been an accountant in a past life to name your boat liquid asset  

Thanks @Hweebe. I’m far from an accountant. I just like names that play with words. And hopefully my priorities are right! Otherwise I’ve made an expensive mistake! Lol.
