Fished coffs inshore up near split solitary thismorning . Alas no snapper. I did hook and land a hefty longtail which kept me busy for 15 mins so the day wasnt a total loss.☺

Fished the Kalang river on Saturday for 1 measly undersized bream .couldnt get a fresh mullet or nippers so had to use servo pillies and sp's. Mabye it was the full moon ? Have never had much luck in that river over the years though. Wil try south west rocks next outing.

A 14 footer with a 30 on the back will do almost anything using a bit of commonsense. Light to tow and push around , skinny water deep water , no worries. Heaps on the market . Ive got a quintrex busta 420 ( my second , shouldnt have sold the first one) Best boat ever ! Go a four stroke if you can .quite and not smelly.

Wooden boats smell nice ?

Thanks Rick.

Hi Raiders
Im going to move my 25 lt fuel tank forward so it sits just aft of the front thwart . (Shes a bit stern heavy at slow speeds.) Can anyone see a problem with having to extend the fuel line by 2 metres more.??
Cheers all.

Nice.! A serious boat indeed.?

Alloy ' Alloy ' Alloy .its the future and the answer .

Thanks everyone. Have gone to manual settings and all went well today. I also realised that i had downscan frequency set on 455 khz not 800 khz although not sure if that would cause my problem.
Bonus today was catching 8 nice bream .

Nup. Really shallow readings. I just read somewhere that i should take it off the auto sensitivity setting so will try that next time im out.

I have a lowrance elite 7 hook with chirp that works pretty well although lately it has been losing the depth reading at speed, which doesnt worry me too much , however when i slow down it gives me ridiculous readings which does worry me. As well , when this happens i dont get the sonar picture back. Any ideas ?
Cheers Brian.

Bought a Nirey 198 electric sharpener the other day after many attempts with stones . So simple to use and gives a brilliant edge. Cost was $200 from the kitchen shop. Do yourself a favor. These units are great and worth the bucks.?

Looks great without the rails . What do you need them for anyway. Goid decision i reckon

Thinking of gettong one myself would you recomend this motor ?Cheers

Super cumfy. I used to have these on my renegade 460. I ended up buying a plastic padded seatand swivel base from motackle on coffs harbour. (worlds largest fishing store 2 mins from my place ). Have carpeted the bench seats to cut down on glare and provide non slip. New lowrance hook 7 installed. All ready to go now.?.hows yours coming along ?
-
Great idea. I will be doing the same to my new Busta . I beleive acetone is good to clean the alloy before glueing.?

Great idea !! Looks solid as !
