    Used Boat Choice - Quintrex? or Stacer?

    in Boating

    Posted

    I got a Quintrex 580 spirit with 135 super charged 4 stroke ( would have liked a little bigger engine for that size Boat, ones you had a 4 stroke you never go back ( My Opinion)) but never the less I never looked back I extremely happy with in in all aspect. except: putting it on the trailer when there is side wind & when you if compare it with a fiberglass boat , fiberglass usually traves better when the sea / waves is up. But in Overall a great Boat.

    Mate sound like you had fun fishing and good Catch, and must say It's is great you took more Rubbish with you ,than you brought . Sadly the is some very irresponsible people out there that don't take their rubbish when the go out in general ! Fishing or other. I like to think that most people is doing the right thing but sadly not in some cases. and I say good ONYA also for highlighting the issue .

    Which transducer?

    hi

    you only use Transom fitted traducer on aluminium and can only hull transducer on fibre-glass boats . something to do with interference I think !. I got a tm260 with a lowrance and quiet happy with it. they are very easy to install your self ( on a Aluminium ).

    Dark oil leak out of the propeller

    in Boating

    I would say any external Oil leak is of concern . Is it the seal for the gear box oil. Probably best to drop by a marine Mecanic to have a quick sqiz . Maybe check the gear box oil level . Fill it up with Oil to the rim and check the level after your next outing . So it give you some sort indication . And go from there. Cheers. Oziodin

    Went up to Foster for bit of a Fish with mate who lives there on Sunday. We departed 2am from his house and arrive at the boat Ramp 2:15am meet up with two other who were coming with us. one other Boat arrived there as well had a chat with them decided Followed us out where we were going ,we kept in radio contact and from what they toll us they did quiet well, we launched the rig and went out to his Spot about 8-10 k out ,the water was calm only 5-10 knot wind but when you are in a twin hull 20ft. with 2 x 115 on the back you know you are Spoilt being in a Boat like that. He's been nagging me to come up for a fish telling me about how quick it takes to get your Bag limit , I always thought he was having me on. anyway found the spot 70m Depth and I hadn't got my hook on my line yet and by the time I got Baited up (Bonito) on 5.0 Hook the first two Teraglin 70-80 cm were landed onto the Deck . Before I got to the bottom I was on and Gee it a good feeling fishing like that when you aren't used to it, within 30-40 min we had our bag limit and keep on fishing and release and we didn't loose many so we gave it a rest had a cupper and went to another spot and targeted snapper only got 4 pan size 2 morwong and a few sweep moved on to another spot by then it was 6-7 am and tried for Flatheads only caught 3 but I caught my PB a Beauty "60cm" witch I will enter in "Catch of the Month" . well after it went quiet on the Bit, we decided to got and try out for some Bonitos so we went to the north of Foster close in had two lures out got Two Bonitos in 30min of trolling it wasn't much chop there so we headed south of Foster Bar. trolled approx. 50 meters of the shore and got on to the Bonito's not very big in size but great fun and awesome bait for the next trip. headed back around 10-11am . we had a great day out. and I think I will be heading up that way a lot more from now on, even when it's a 4 hour drive up there.

    Cheers Oziodin :fishing1:

    I think with the VHF radio there is a code you get when you get a Lic. you can enter your Details in( you Lic number) so when you activate the Emergency (red button )all you details will go to marine rescue and your details will come up so they can see who is in need for help and Location ( I not sure , so pls get it confirmed ,if its right)

    Cheers Oziodin
