Thanks guys, I particularly liked the size. For a 4.20 metre, the depth and width really impressed me. It would be a boat i'd be using for general spinning and social competitions. My current tinnie is 3.7 m however needs that little bit extra for comfort and some more HP (have only a 15hp Mariner on it now). The Stessco model im looking at is 4.20 metres and weights approx 200kgs. The standard model has a 30hp Yamaha on it, Im abit unsure if this 30hp will push it hard enough or if I should be looking at upgrading to a 40hp ? Nick

Hello fishraiders, On my search for a new boat, I came across a Stessco RV420 Catcher. It was quite a nice boat however I have not seen any of these before down in NSW. Apparantly they are a popular choice in QLD ? Has anyone got any comments on this boat ?? Cheers Nick

Snag, It was an eBay special thanks Yes I did get a cd with all the swish programs but the best I can get them is down to about 95 kb. Thanks all I will try your suggestions. Nick

Hello all ! I am having a very frustrating issue with my pics that I upload frm my digital camera. They are all over 45 KB and therefore I cannot post them here online. Has anyone got any suggestions/software etc where I can make my file size smaller therefore be able to post photos. This ine effect can make my future reports more interesting than in the past ! Thanks Nick

Unlucky Spizza, Keep at it !! Nick

We can always rely on you for a cheap shot aye chris, how are those Tommy Ruffs treating you these days ?? Snag, you boat is due anytime soon isnt it ? Cheers Nick

Sounds like a fun day out on the water !! 2 more days of work and the fishing-marathon starts over the holidays !!!

The natural alarm woke me at 7am Saturday morning, so i decided to go down to the Parra for a quick spin. Launched at Cabarita, fished the usual spots. Got a few lizards, plenty of choppers and a few undersize Bream. All in all a not bad session, but no big catches. Also went for a spin on the Georges sunday evening, got some Breambos, but had to pack it up when the storm came in which made it a short session. Have some pics on the camera but havent uploaded them yet. Sorry !! Cheers Nick

GIO was good to me.

I just bought myself a 6amp PROTECTA branded charger yesterday from Repco for my deep cycle. Still have not used it but the guy at Repco reckons it is popular amongst the boaters. He also recommended you dont go too strong because you can do damage to your battery ? Not sure if this is the case but I will let you know how I go.. Nick

Anyone know where I can get some nice big chunky fishing brandname stickers forthe side of my boat ?? Similar to the ones on the side of ABT boats etc. Cheers Nick
