    Ohh...and even though it would just be your opinion it might be informative for you to name the timeless ones.

    Hi fellow Seafarer lovers and others
    I thought I would add my new Victory to the clan, after a very long 16 week wait I finally picked her up on 28/12/09. She is powered by a 175 Suzuki which pushes it along quite nicely. Since getting her home I have fitted a Lowrance HDS8, dual battery system with VSR, deck wash, stereo and clears. Still on the to do list are trim tabs ( most likely Volvo QL ), plumb the bait tank and NMEA 2000 network for engine data. I live in Rockhampton and fish in Keppel Bay and will be traveling up to 100 km offshore when and if the weather is good enough.

    Arrived home after a long drive from the Gold Coast.




    Madden voyage to Great Keppel Island.

    Vag1.jpg New trailer - good excuse to post her up. She needs a polish! Decades old and new transom, but apart from that stock and solid.

    Thanks Gents. Yes I love the old girl. It had just come out from an overnighter. She needs the clears polishing and a good orby polish of the gelcoat, but it was the first time the new trailer got a dunking, so I was keen to grab a photo. I am pleased with the way the trailer came up.

    Cheers!

    A statute mile (as in MPH) is 5280 feet
    A kilometer (as in KPH) is 3280 feet
    A nautical mile (as in NMPH) is averaged at 6076 feet

    A Scotish mile is longer still but I won't go in to that, except to leave you with this little ditty compliments of wikipedia on the subject of "mile."

    While we sit bousing at the nappy,
    An' getting fou and unco happy,
    We think na on the lang Scots miles,
    The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles,
    That lie between us and our hame,
    Where sits our sulky, sullen dame,
    Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
    Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.
