    Re: Clever Ideas!

    Lol WHALEOIL. That'd be something I'd do. Did you carry on like an angry loony when you realized you left the floatation out? If so we could be long lost twins.
    Nah Poo. I couldn't because the missus is the person who pointed to the back fence and asked if I was going to leave it out.
    I calmly replied, " Of course I am, other wise it would be in the boat"
    She calmly came back with "Bullshit, idiot"
    10 years ago and there wouldn't have been a tool left in the yard.

    That's a classic whaleoil. Thanx for that.
    Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But ,flogging him into submission will result in him taking up crabbing.... and once he gets a taste of that sh*t, well, he may never return again.

    Yeah thats a shocker WHALEOIL.
    The only thing worse than realising that you have stuffed up big time is when your wife realizes it before you do.
    Then it becomes family legend and you reach a bizzare kind of immortality that means you are remembered more for your bumbling antics than any perceived heroics.

    But thats family for ya.

    Nah mate, my credibility will always be in tact. I bought a freezer some years back so we could buy in bulk.
    She went and did a shop to stock it up and what did I find? A dozen cans of beetroot.
    The simpleton gold medal is hers.

    1. Fit the meticulously cut aluminium into the boat.
    2. Fix the floor to the boat with numerous pop rivets.
    3. Screw seats back into the boat
    4. Cut marine carpet and hold in place with flat bar aluminium.
    5. Refit fuel tanks, air breathers and all those other fiddley things that you have to have 7 elbows to gain access to.
    6. Look down the back yard at the floatation leaning up against the fence.
    Hahahaha

    This ones probably obvious but ... If you have a carpeted floor, stick the rough side of a strip of velcro on the bottom of eskies, tackle boxes and the like ..... to stop them from sliding around

    I have got some thin cutting board type material stuck to the side decks so i can do a quick cut of bait or line etc without having to get the cutting board that has usually gone walk about when shifting spots.

    when using paint or sealer to seala your ply between coats wrap your bush/roller in gladwrap then in a plastic bag to seal it up. stops it from going hard or having to wash the items up.

    Re: Clever Ideas!

    I replace my wheel bearings twice a year and keep the old ones (usualy two sets) and one new set in the boat for those that don't.
    I have done 2 trailers in one trip during school holidays.

    Re: Clever Ideas!

    Make sure you have a mate with a boat.....saves you buying one to go fishing (if you like fishing out of a boat)
    Make sure he has lots of tackle as well. Might as well save that expense as well


    I'm not even going to contemplate the jumper pants idea. Might be a tad scarey
    I intend on living for-ever....so far so good

    Run your anchor chain thru an old push bike tube, so the chain doesn't rub on your boat.
