Mate,
I would have expected more from you than just one fish😃
-
Please send me the link to the advert.
This sounds like the boat a mate of mine is looking for.
-
Good on you and great that you shared your knowledge.
-
Still a great feed..... Plus you were fishing and not working 🙂
-
Good day out, I always enjoy looking at your brag mat.....

I always us 95 or greater. Motor always runs better and better starting.
During the colder months when the boat is not used so much, I do not leave a large amount of fuel in the tank.
Start the motor every month and run for 1/2 an hour.
So far, touch wood i have never ever had a problem. But not saying that I will ever have an issue, as I may have a dose of bad fuel.
I work on the principles of good duel batteries, good servicing and maintenance and hopefully I reduce the risk of operating machinery in an hostile environment.

Interesting... what size outboard do you have? And what size battery/how long does it last until it needs a charge?
Always get a full day.
Charges overnight.
Have a 115 etec.

Good laugh.
Don't laugh. But I did at the moment.
I went out one day, flushed the motor at the end of the day, ready for day two.
Idililong for about half an hour, then bought the boat on a plane and the an alarm.
Raised the motor thinking to find a plastic bag only to find my ear muffs attached.
Removed ear muffs and happy days.
Can happen to anyone.

Well done on the new boat.
I have a 510 Frontier and use a 55lb minkota.
Works fin in all the conditions that I fish.
-
Well done - good bag there.

Looking at a new Boat also. I was originally leaning towards the the Quintrex 460 Renegade SC, though I am now favouring the Stacer 499 Crossfire SC.
Anyone own a Crossfire?
The only other thing is what motor I have read the E'Rude Vs Yamy thread and I'm still not sure which way to go LOL.
Hello Adam,
From what I understand with the Telwater range is the Stacer Crossfire is equal to the Quintrex Top Ender and the Qunitrex Renegade is equal to the Stacer Outlaw.
All are great boats, but I personally like the additional accessories and equipment levels of the Qunitrex Top Ender or the Stacer Crossfire.
After having used both the Etec and Yamaha motors. I prefer the ETec over the 4-stroke.

They work well and make drive on and driving off a dream. Makes launching and retrieving a one person exercise.
The only downside is attaching the safety chain through the mechanism.

Thanks for that mate. If it has a self draining deck, does that mean it has scruppers on the back? As I don't remember seeing those on the one I was looking at.
Thanks
Yes, should have scrubbers fitted.

Cheers Sydney South. Would those add ons only be for newer boats? The one I'm looking at is a 2015 model and as far as I know it hasn't got the big kill tank under the casting deck either.
The front kill tank is an option and can also be added in later if you want.
The top ender should have a sealed floor and self draining deck, also has may other options over the Renegade.

Have 2 boats at present that I am stuck which one would be best.
I can get a 2019 demo model 460 renegade with a 75hp ETEC that has 20 hours for 25kbut it is unpainted,so not sure if that is a good thing or not. Has nothing special other than it has a offshore washwell.
I have also been looking at a 2015 Quintrex 481 Top-ender with a 2015 ETEC that has 30 hours on it that the guy wants 27k for. It also has the offshore washwell.
Which way would you guys go?
Thanks
I personally would go the Top Ender.
Bigger boat with more add-ons.
Also, you do not need to wear a life jacket, when in calm waters.
-
Great group of flatties there...
-
I have always used Streamline Boat covers at Kirrawee.
Again not the cheapest, but close to it, and great workmanship
-
Not sick, just average.........

-

Great report and videos - thanks.
Would you be able to PM me where you were able to trap the poddies? As my little place at Ramsgate has been a bit slow.
I also find that when I trap them up at Tuncurry, I freeze the left overs. They often work just as good.
-
Great post.
Yes a great spot and a great spot to fish.
It is such a great spot, that I now have a house up in Tuncurry that we stay at and holiday rent with the aim at living there full time in the future.

They were very lucky indeed!
Its up to them to make sure their safety equipment/flag is operating as it should & you would think they would be keeping a close eye on their flag buoy.
Anyway how did you go with the fishing, anything around?
Thanks for the reply. Yes I understand that it is up to them. But I would still have felt terrible if someone was injured.
Caught 6 undersized faltties an 3 undersized redies.
