It’s look’n good, you must be getting impatient now that you can smell the finish line.
@Supaduke, yep. Nice big casting deck for trout and bream fishing.
@JSS , impatient is somewhat understating the matter… thete’s only going to be 3 weeks left of the brown trout season left by the time it’s all kitted out!
Good news is i have a firm pick up date for next thursday! Finally…
You’ll have to work out an accommodation, beer testing, shooting and fishing package deal for me.
I’ve got Qantas credit for tickets I bought to go to the 'States last year that expires in December this year.
Since they reckon no International flights before November, ( the events I travel to are on in July ), I might have to use the credit up domestically.
I’m sure we can figure something out, Dan!
Looks sweet mate
Which part of the boat will you shag on first?
Not sure my wife is quite as excited about it as i am
Who said anything about the wife?
Look’n great mate!! Just get them to make a lockable door for one of the gunwales & there’s your gun locker, you could even use it to secure weird things like fishing rods from time to time
Already three gun lockers up front!
Sweet!!
Very nice rig sir. Some good times to be had there.
Very nice mate. Custom made for what you want. Just out of curiosity, how did the restoration stack up financially? Not after a dollar figure mate just interested to know if it worked out a lot cheaper than buying something similar. Of course a custom boat gets you what you want with little compromise. Hard to account for that I guess.
Hey mate. I guess all up I’m into it about $20k with boat, new kit to install & hull reconfiguration.
Looking at everything available 2nd hand, nothing under that price point really offers exactly what i want and anything new was going to cost $20k just for the hull.
I can see myself being happy with it for quite some time. Something new & shiny would be nice but i really like having something uniquely mine.
100% agree mate. Well done on the restoration. Boat looks an absolute treat. Hopefully there are a few fish to be had. Oh and a cold one or two.
Gunna be sweet mate
