Good investments make money

Great investments eventually float

What sort of fishing do you do with 16 odd rod holders?

They look awesome

angla. Snapper and gummy fishing mainly in Westernport Vic. FAst and tidal. As tide and wind turns boat you just move rods and have no tangles. In Westernport where tide runs around 3-5 knots and using 8-12oz lead, we can fish 6 rods for snapper etc without tangles.

Blaze. Good for Port Phillip also

Thanks for comments guys

Lippa it is a 2000 model hull. Had scratches and lots paint bubbling around fittings. Now every press stud etc has a nylon washer under it and I cut up some bits of CLEAR for under rod holders etc. Filled every hole with either duralac or marine silicone before putting in s/s screws. Trying to stop / slow down paint bubbles again.
4ltrs 2 pack went onto it.

Very nice Ribbit,

You have done a top job, and have it set up very nicely for fishing too.

Enjoy, and keep us up to date with the fishing reports ;)

Cheers

Pete
