The boat is 2 months old, have taken it outside the coast to 24th fathom twice. caught fish one day and the other just a few pearl pearches.

The boat is trailcraft 4.85, but only a 60 hp. ( high fuel cost) a bit weak, but does the job.

i got a live bait tank ( brought from tilkey , thanks to the advice of other ausfishers) navman 5110 chartplotter, matrix 27 sounder, and a cd player.
the boat only does around 35mph. so it's not fast. Looking at putting some rocker lauchers and clears ( my next project) or next pay packet.

The bimini is kinda high and great ( i can walk freely under without bending down. you never knwo what your deckie will do behind ya back ( ;).

The motor has done, 30 hrs.

Anyone with ideas on launchers would be much appreciated.
