Naked Pics of my New Kiwi Lady!

[Boat Hog]

She's Black, she's beautiful (well I think so ....) and she's almost naked ...... there's a bit of paint and some Nylac, but otherwise virginal and untouched (for now). ;D ;D

Fresh off the boat from New Zealand, she arrived this afternoon at the local Surtees Dealer;

Surtees 485 Workmate;

92729

92730
92732
92733

Work starts tomorrow on fitting a Honda 60, Garmin GPS 750, VHF, Bimini and Clears.

When finished next week she will look like this;
92735

Then it's straight up to Fraser Island for 10 Days of Honeymoon!!! 8-) :)

Cheers,

haha I thought u where talking bout a sheep.lol...nice boat there jim enjoy..

[Jarrah Jack]

How are you going to survive taking people like Murf and I on your honeymoon.;D We'll crack some bioshine on her! Its about all its good for. Just kidding Murf.

Looking forward to seeing all your multiple women soon.

Looks like they've already started on a few things so she'll be good to go. She looks the goods. Should get the first 20 hrs up in no time.

No way JJ! If petrol dissolves Nylac I'd hate to see what deathanol does to it - probably go right through the plate alloy!

Nice Jim that should do Fraser very well, will it be coming to 1770?? by the way what did you name the black b!#^h & when I first looked at the title I was thinking of gumboots & WOOL lol:o:o

[cobiaman]

Nice jim, nice!

[Moonlighter]

Well done Jim. I have the 5.5 Workmate. Surtees build great boats, you will be very pleased with your choice. They definitely play well above their size class.

But be very careful with the nyalic. Petrol strips it off, as does any solvent such as metho.

Cheers

good to see you luv kiwis too jim;D

[thelump]

Nice one Jim. Maybe you could call her Bleck Bitty :)

[cobiaman]

You could call it "scourge"

[thelump]

Maybe even MRD?

[cobiaman]

Maybe even MRD?

I like MRJ....

[Boat Hog]

Maybe have to call it Boat Hog 3 .... ? :-X

Thanks for the replies guys.

2IC, would I try to pull the wool over your eyes? I will still be taking the Striper to 1770 - although Julie would like to have 2 boats there. ::)

As for a name? It's been narrowed down to either; Short Black or Plan B :)


Cheers,

[Tangles]

Good choice of boat Jim, I reckon it will punch well above its weight too

[tropicrows]

Jim - nice mate. Take it to next M&G at Woolie, we can watch you practice crossing the bar.

Mate it comes with two cup holders!! Plus, sinker holders next to the gunnel mounted rod holders so you can put your big lump o lead in there to stop it flapping about while you re bait!

That's the idea Bruce, a bit more options for different fishing scenarios, M&G's etc. It is the Original Bar Crusher!

Thanks Marty, the dealer is installing the basics (it's got to be done this week!). I might be sneaking a few extra bits and pieces onto the boat as time goes by ....
