Finally Silent got own tinny - Stessco catcher SF425

[Silent]

Gidday,

I'm proud to announce that I'm no more boatless :) I was been boatless for 6 months!

Made a good deal at Brsiabne boat show, paid deposit and waited for 6 weeks delivery. Picked her up last week before the big wet...

Its Stessco catcher SF425 limited edition has deep side and raised carpet floor plus casting platform. these floors are spacious. quite comforatble to walk around.
Powered CV 30hp yamaha, was going upgarde a 40hp unfortunatley I didn't have a deep pocket... :P

I installed 4 bow biminis bought from ebay at good price, haven't install electronic yet hopefully sometime ready in few weeks time...





Psst Mud Island snappers celebraitng is over...

[Seahorse]

looks good.
the flat floor and ped seats are the go.
I just got a similar set up in the seajay. 455 with a 50 yammy.

When I first read the title to this thread, I thought that it said 'Stereo catcher'. ::)

I thought, "Bugger me! Now that Silent has a new boat he will be catching fish two at a time!" ;D ;D ;D


Good on you, Silent. I look forward to plenty of your excellent fishing reports on the results of your new thalassic adventures in your prized new vessel. :)


May you always catch plenty of fish in her.

Yep, nice boat. They certainly are good value, I loved mine and sometimes regret deciding to upgrade.

Very nice rig Silent. On mine, I used to put a piece of PVC pipe on the tiller arm and drove her from near where your front seat is. Sold her recently to the youngest daughters' boyfriend, excellent boat for the $ IMHO. Never had a problem with her, suprised and delighted me how seaworthy she was for a small boat. Had a 30 Tojo on her, which was certainly adequate if not exhilerating. Best part was the cost of owning, frugal on juice and cheap to service.8-)
Cheers.

[gr hilly]

;D If the tinny doesn't give much luck with fishing, would consider to paint banana colour over...:-X:P

[JustOneMore]

That's great news Silent, congrats on getting the new boat. She looks awesome and all you need to get amoungst it!

Hopefully you can now get out there soon and beat your MUD PB snapper of 87cm.

Nice boat Silent. I agree with Scalem. Now all you have to do is paint it yellow so I can recognize you out there again..lol Good to see you aren't boatless.

Cool tinny, congrats..looks a great rig for just whizzing out for a fish. No hassles, easy by yourself, get off and on easy when out, and minimal running costs and upkeep.
Luv it.
