Looks very nice congratulations, any plans for a targa/rocket launcher set up?
Whats it got hangin off the back? Looks like a Yammie of some description?
Hope you get many hours of pleasure from it and I look forward to seeing some reports from you.

Last one!!
It has a 115 fourstroke Yamaha.
live bait tank
Dual batteries
Deck wash
Rear fold out seat
Lawrance Lcx 110 sounder / GPS
VHF

I was going to put a T top on it but was talked out of it by a mate with a lot more experience than I. He said they can affect the handling of the boat in windy conditions etc, not sure?

Very nice setup mate.

In a force 10 wind the targa will definately effect the handling of the boat.
You may also see a small reduction in top end speed because of the additional drag caused by a targa.
Then there is the issue of getting sunburnt constantly....


You decide mate

That is a slick looking rig!!!

I was thinking about getting a deck wash, but apparently I have been told by my dealer and the manufacturer (with their experience) I can just open the deck drain flaps wack her in reverse and just flood the deck. The boat has no floor hatches and being completely foam filled it relevels forcing the water out the rear :o.

I definately need one of those bait boards though. Its exciting having a new boat I know exactly how you feel at the moment, I want to be out every day but its just not possible. :)

Well done, verry nice ;D

[Gbanger]

absolutely wicked mate... make sure you post pics when you bloody her up...

[MyEscape]

That's one very nice looking rig. Lots of people talk about the plate boats, but not much beats the smooth lines of glass.

Very nice again and I hope you have lots of calm seas and full eskys on the way home

Re the Targa consideration:

I had a 5.5m centre console and wanted the shade but also wanted to maintain the 360 fishing advantage of a centre console. I visited my local chandlery and bought a three bow bimini and modified it so that it could be folded down to the rear when not in use and could be put up in a flash when it got a bit hot. Made parking at home easier as well.

Another good one I saw is the trailcraft that F&B were building. It had a fold down rocket launcher with extendable canopies...looked like the goods.

Nice boat in any regards nad hope you get amongst them.
