New Rig - The wait is over

[JLW]

Hi all,

Just thought i'd introduce the new rig to all you fellow AusFisher's. ;D
She's a 6.5mt Joshua Boats Centre Cab with a 175 hp Suzuki. Haven't had the chance to test her out properly yet cuase since I've picked her up I've either been working or it's been blowing it's a$%e off.

If you recognize it out on the water come say g'day.


Cheers,

Jeff

Az I thought that too but I reckon the interior shots may be older as in the first pic the motor and bucket seats are visable.Looks nice but you lucky devil ;)

Hi JLW,

Great looking rig, hope you have many enjoyable adventurers.

Just have a few questions from observing photo's if you don't mind. Always curious how different boat builders set things up.
Would nav lights give off a disturbing glow to skipper or are they well out of line of sight from inside?
Is there a zipper in back awning for access to overhead rocket launchers or are seats far enough back in cockpit to stand on to reach rod holders?
Would water/spray come into cabin off back edge of windscreen as it looks like it stops well short of targa frame?
Sorry Jeff final question, I read a write=up on a JBS boat a few years ago and the owners only whinge was the chime was rather sharp resulting in line breakage if fish run under boat.

Once again sorry Jeff for raving on , as I'm thinking (hoping) to upgrade in the near future and want to get everything right. I see it as, if you don't ask you don't learn.

Regards s-pac
