mate, that's the first tinny I've seen with a satellite dish !!!!

seriously though - good looking rig.

BTW, I've got the same Sea-Link trailer but a bit bigger. I recommend you spray the insides of those tail light with Lanox or similar before you dunk it, or chuck them and get proper submersible lights. Mine corroded out in < 8 months. #I'm a bit concerned about that stern roller on the trailer as well - the keel should be sitting on that I think. Does the keel sit on the other rollers or it supported by the side skids ?

Cheers,

Alan.

You sound EXCITED Fish n Dive congrats :) 40hp seems to be the go on 14 footers now hay? Pick up my new Stessco Catcher 420 in next few days with a 40hp if the Tohatsu ever arrives?
1900Ks for a boat must have got a great deal.
Where's Fairburn Dam?

[fish-n-dive]

Thanx for the comments Allen,

In pic 2 the boat sits on rollers from the axel and the up 2 the bow.

I 2 thought it seemened a redundant thing with the skids the way they are at the back but the salesman guy (who seemed very nice and knoweledgable) said it was designed 2 drive the boat on 2 and until I try it ................I have 2 believe what he said!!!

BTW the satalite dish is really a new type of navman fishfinder................. :D

Cheers 8-)

She looks the goods mate. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I hope all goes well first time, everytime because I'm sure you won't want to be making to many 1900km trips for setup changes/warranty repair etc.

Anyway, no point in worrying about things that might never happen. Get out there, and get into 'em. :)

Good luck,
Mike

Nice Boat Mate you will have a Ball with it, I would be incline to check the wheel bearings before I go anywhere just as a bit of insurance,you have done a bit of mileage, Ive seen wheel bearings fail on new stuff, just a thought, Cheers Whitto

Beaut boat, FnD. You'll have lots of fun with that, and the 40 will let you take a crew with you and still fly. Like Fishnads, I have the Stessco variant but with a Tohatsu 30. Pretty similar rigs, I'm sure you'll be as happy with yours as I am with mine.
Cheers and enjoy! :)
