If you are doing it via the website, it is possible this way.
Just make sure you are using the full/web version not the phone version.

All good mate.
Are you using the tapatalk app? If so it should look like this on iPhone. I'm unsure about android.
I have included a photo.

I have two go to SP's:
1) 3 inch Gulp Pumpkinseed Minnow Grub.
2) 2.5 inch Zman Motoroil GrubZ
Proven very effective for myself on many occasions. I always pair them up with a size 1/0 hook.

Amazing where this thread has gone to Paul. I've fitted my tinny out but don't have the salt water issue which you do. It needs to be a couple of feet bigger (mine). I'm going to follow your thread. Good onya for putting it up in such detail. Cheers.
Thanks Neil,
Not much to report on lately because i have been extremely busy! Only doing a few wiring bits here and there, will hopefully get back into it on the weekend.
Thanks,
Paul.

Hey Geoff on my phone!!
WTFC,
To add the photos:
1) Click on plus symbol next to "write a reply..."
2) I'm assuming you are uploading previously taken photos, Click on the landscape icon (sun and hills).
3) Choose what photos you would like to add from your camera roll.
Hope this Helps!

Paul.

Now that's someone I would hire - a Graphic Designer who is clearly as skilled as most Engineers I know.

I picked up a few good flatties up at Phegans Bay on Australia Day. A little far from Woy Woy station on the shoe lace express but worth it! There are also a few jettys and public wharfs in the area. The setup you have is fine! Good luck!

Are you allowed to fish on those wharf? is it private?.
Hey mate, 90 Percent sure the ones over at Phegans bay are public. Also, the 'Pin drop' on the south side are all private apart from the last one from memory.
you cant miss it from the road, open public section.
Best of a few worlds there, got a deep channel, weed beds and a bit of a rocky ledge.
Good luck!

Roostersone,
As far as I am aware, still the colour of watered down gravy! Wanted to go for a quick session on Friday but I don't know how clear it will get. Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul. I'll definitely keep graphics designer stuff in mind. Is it web based or for print??
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Print and illustration. Can pump a few sites out when needed too.

Hey Paul that is some really nice metal work. Sheetie by trade?? The welds/ folds and mention of the putting a radius on the cutouts are all top notch.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks Ric!!!
There isn't many jobs I haven't had! Not a sheetie, but currently work in sales at a sheet shop and never mind getting my hands dirty. If I can't make it, usually my mate, work colleague and fellow raider 'jesso' will make it for me.
I am also a freelance graphic designer and artist if you ever need anything done!
Cheers,
Paul.

A few photos from this afternoons efforts. Getting the storage and casting deck ready.
Using 25 X 25 X 3 Ally angle for bracing and a piece of 3mm thick ally sheet folded to form a 'C' channel to increase the step down size to level.

Unreal!! What a place to do it!

Perfect timing mate! I have a 4.3 stacer and it's got battery and gadgets front and rear decks being the nomad model but I'm about to swap Sounders and move the battery from the rear up to the front for a live tank on the back cast deck.. Also drool over the vinyl wrap.. Looks great what you've done so far! I'll be following this thread very close!
Are you putting in a 12v socket? Best thing I have done with mine!
Hey mate,
Yeah I've been thinking about it for a while now. I think the 12v socket will come in handy! Like charging the phone for when I catch all those stonkas and I'll need the photographic evidence!! Haha
Hopefully I can provide even the smallest piece of info for somebody who might need it.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul,good job so far.Im sure your post will be followed closely by the tinny brigade.Nice little boat perfect for a project like this you have there.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Fab1,
The tinny brigade is a strong one!!! Haha I noticed a lot of people haven't really done a 'step by step' so I thought id give it a crack.

Hi Paul. Nice start to the project. Just a thought, have you fitted a brace to the sounder bracket, otherwise the flex will eventually lead to cracking of the bracket.
It would be nice if the sounder connectors were removable like on microphones so that they can be installed through smaller holes. I had the exact same issue. Cheers Ric

Sure have. It's also 3mm Ally. I wish I had radiused the cut out corners. It would have eliminated any potential for that. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Hello fellow Raiders,
I have decided to start an ongoing topic about the fit out of my Quintrex tinny.
I have begun work on it as I would prefer if it catered a little better to how the missus and I would like and prefer to use it.
At its current state it was pretty much stock as a rock with the exception of what I believe to be an aftermarket 2 piece flat floor which has seen better days to put it nicely.
Plans for the 385 Explorer are:
- Fit sounder.
- Re do all electronics as most have stopped working including all round light, navigation lights and internal lights.
- Fit toggle switches in more convenient place (located now on battery housing).
- Fit battery kill switch.
- Front casting deck and storage compartments.
- Rear deck, storage compartments and live bait tank.
- Fitting swivel seats.
- Re doing the floor and,
- Vinyl wrap (Hull only).
Yesterday arvo in the course of a few hours I got started on fitting the seats and the sounder.
The seats went in easy but I didn’t fit them as I am going to carpet the ally bench anyways.
After that I got started on the Sounder.The sounder was a bit of a pain as I wanted it to go through the transom. The plug head itself was 24mm dia, a big difference to the 12 odd mill dia drop of the cord size. All mounting holes have an electrolysis block with a bit of silicone and rubber grommets.
The rest was pretty easy. I then temporarily fitted my custom made sounder stand so I could mark out all holes, it looked the goods!!! (cut out under mount is for sounder cables to pass through)
Pretty stoked on how it panned out, I will hopefully resume working on it over the weekend.
(P.S if somebody could tell me where to get cheap marine carpet it would be awesome! Im looking for the dark grey colour. Looking for around a 5odd meter roll).
Cheers,
Paul.

Matty!!!!I know just how big you are Paul....
Get anything over 3m and wide. You'll find with the fishing that a hobie will be helpful but you can always save some money and get a standard yak and then buy an electric motor for it.
