Gday All,
Been a while since I have posted up about the boat. Have nearly had it 12 months and through the teething stages.
Not as happy with the service I got after the boat was delivered, but overall very happy with the rig. Would highly recommend Yamaha motors and Performance Plate Boats.
So now looking to do some modifications....... :D
I am taking to my mates place this weekend to extend the hard top. Will still be counter levered with no supports across the back giving unrestricted fishing.
The 2 spotties will be moved to the back and the 6 rod holders in the rocket launcher will be repositioned to have 3 down each side of the hard top. If they went to the back of the hard top the rods in the rocket launcher would tangle with rods in the bait station.
A new 1m strip of led lights will be fitted under the hard top to light up the deck and the spotties will shine in the water.
Next is fresh water...... We are making an aluminium water tank to fit in the bow of the boat and will have the hose in the side pockets. Hoping to get about 100L in the tanks.
I know this will add another 100kgs, however think the extra weight will smoothen out the ride and keep the nose down. Boat seems to handle a bit better with weight in the front so fingers crossed all will be good.
Have attached a photo of the boat as is currently and will take photos over the next week to show progression.
Any input would be great.
Cheers Dale
