Nice one Rod. Hope there are scales stuck to it and it smells horrible after every trip. Hope there is dried fish and bait juice slime on the steering wheel and the GPS. Hope the handles break off the eski when your trying to get it out.
Hopr your mates enjoy it as much as you will.

Cheers Stu

Nice Boat Mako I have been told the Stejcraft is good in the rough stuff the 640c is a nice rig for sure I had a look at them down at cunninghams I liked the 6.5WA but the missus wanted bigger cabin space than what they had I was told they were based on a Sea Nimph design which originated in NZ and were built to cope with the offshore conditions over there which can be pretty harsh. Congrats mate good luck up at 1770.

Nice boat Rod.The targa looks like a Dave Green job from Greens Marine at Yatala.Its the same
as some of the earlier Cruisecrafts.
Certainly a good feeling picking that new boat up to bring home to show to family and friends.
Well done,
Mick
