It was just yesterday that we [me and kingtin] received our new tinny. It is a 395 Seasprite. Today we were out for about 3-4 hours getting stuff for the tinny. My dad is just putting in the rod holders. It is going to be used to go crabbing down creeks that the big Whitly can't get through and for just going fishing in rivers when the water is to rough to go out in the bay or offshore.

Good onya kingcobe, you can't have enough boats.
Everyone should have a different boat for any occasion that may show itself.

Cheers

Hey Kingcobe,

I met your old man in Northside Marine on Friday when he was (supposed to be) picking it up. He talks a bit funny, but he's a nice old bloke :D

You're a very lucky fella to have a choice of boats. Seems that with the Whittley and the tinny, you've got all bases covered.

Good luck,
Mike

Mate...sometimes better not to ask certain questions.

I bought 2 boats earlier this year...someone jokingly said to me.."who died and left you all the money"...my answer unfortunately was.."my parents". The poor bugger felt like crap..I told him it was okay and not to worry about it.

Cobe...tell the old fella he now has the tinnie and you will be the skipper of "Sole Searching"..still waiting for him to take me for a run in it sometime when he is down the Pin way.

Thats the same with me my grand parents died and left my mum and dad lots of money so thats what we bought the tinny for $5950 and sole searching for $67,000. It was worth $82,000 but we traded in our old boat kingtin for $10,000 and we got $5000 off cause it was last years model.

Yeah, I've bent 'em already :o Was going to recess some holders in the reinforcing plate at the corner of the transom but realised that if the transom failed then this would void the warranty. I've moved the bimini for'ard now so I at least have room to strike at the vermin ;D

Jeeeeeeez JJ, tell 'em me business why dontcha? :o ;D And your figures are all to cock anyway. As for lotsa money, Lotsa money is when you have enough to send your kids away to boarding school so that you can fish everyday instead of having to be home to make 'em afternoon tea. I can't afford that yet ;)

Pinhead, I'll let you play with mine if I can play with yours ;) ;D

the tinny

$6600 Chemmy, trailer motor and boat. Then there's the extras like bimini etc. Could've bought 2nd hand but I've been stuck at sea before with a lemon of a 2nd hand motor. With there being no clocks on the smaller ones you can never tell how much use they've had so I went the extra mile to get new with warranty.

I'm making the floor. Would've cost around 400 bucks.........labour costs :o but I've nearly finished it myself and it's cost me 120 in materials. Can't make my mind up whether to carpet the seats.........about another 80 bucks for carpet as I've already got adhesive. Not so much the money. I'm not too good with my hands but it's a learning experience and I'm enjoying setting it up myself. Lights and electrics next ::) :D

cheers

it is much more fun then it seems me and dad fit out one of our old boats with sounder, new wireing, radio, antenna, rod holdes and new carpet. It's good to see it all come together
