  1. Yea it is a tough one. That trailer parked infront of someone elses area would be annoying. And you said they sent "sons" as in two boys? Sounds like they wanted to intimidate them!
  2. If you drive through Drummoyne and Balmain, you see this everywhere. At the same time, they have no where to go. Me personally wouldn't buy a place or stay in one if I had to park the boat on the street.
  3. Hey mate, For $1k you can get the Garmin 70DV. What I liked about it, touch screen, and ONE transducer. Some other brands you need different components for it to work. Lowrance for structure needs another transducer etc. Good thing about the Humminbird, it is all built into the ONE transducer too. I think Humminbird released a fairly new one 7" around $1300 I think with it all.

  4. Mate I have been trying to run a black fish office for a couple of years but I must be opening my doors at the wrong hours! Least you landed 2!
  5. Yes and make sure there is no strake behind it. Can you post any pics?
  6. Quickly read this on the way to work. http://m.smh.com.au/nsw/boat-trailers-to-be-moved-within-three-months-or-be-impounded-20150803-giqi83.html

    Galeforce Boats

    Hey Rob, haven't really heard of them until I came across this. Looks like they are built in Qld but have only been in business for 1 year so far... according to their site. So me personally would give it more time if you want one of those boats, otherwise stick to the known brands for now.
  9. I rocked up to the boat ramp at drummoyne to see how it was like at 2am and it was chaos. I remember seeing this massive bayliner and the guys didnt know how to get it on the trailer. It was a good night to see what really happens. Afterr seeing that, I would definitely stay overnight in a bay. I wonder how the silverwater or meadowbank boat ramp is on NYE. Might be ok. Not as busy as the closer ones.
  10. What is your price range? What size are you thinking?
  11. Heard this a while ago, yet on my car it was wrong. So not 100% accurate!
  12. Sheeeeet, I can't believe they are not taking responsibility!
  13. Hi guys, i was going to get a tab welded on my targa frame to mount spotlights. I probably will later, but in the meantime I found some clamps. I bought these at J* marine while visiting Melbourne. Just thought i would share in case anyone is interested. they are 25mm
  14. Just had a quick look at the location. Would that be a bar crossing to get out there or is it quite calm?
  15. Is there a way to find out what number you were when you joined?
  16. That's what I call a snapper bream!

    Etec or Not?

    I must say I love the hondas. And if hondas lost a bit of weight, i would definitely get one.

    Etec or Not?

    First thing, 80HP on a 510 Spirit? I personally would go a bit higher. 80HP Zuk won't be pushing the 510 as good as a 90 Etec. If you wan't 4 stroke I would be aiming for 115HP if the weight suits. The 4stroke will hold a better resale value. That is true.
  19. A helicopter to see a seal though? Doubt it!
  20. I was just reading on another fourm about a boat that got stolen from his front yard. He even kept the wheels off the trailer to make it hard to steal. Got stolen.
