Nice rig Coucho, you should be able to get plenty of snapper (ammo lol) in that baby. Should be a lot safer offshore then your last tinnie.

Thanks all for the ideas bein thrown up
couple more i like are
phat chance
and cracka (thanks greg)

Marty
She is a lot bigger then the old tiny plus the outboard on the old girl is gettin a bit long in the tooth still keepin her for floggin about in the river but, as it is a good light boat for fishin the flats and crabbing and it seriously owes me nothing i got heaps out of it and paid bugger all for it. Have the young fella keen to start hittin the sea with us now though so I had to step up for my own peice of mind.

Daz I like that too very little pertrusion its a good idea

Neil you got it personal touches will come over time but for now it willl do.
future will see a Tee top with full driver suround clears, upgrade to colour sounder and chart plotter. other then that she is set up pretty well. all fishing rod holders are angled around nicely to keep good seperation in any combination of wind and tide has traveling storage around the console for 6 rods. Just need to do some work on the trailer for now though.
