    Im pretty sure its a mitsubishi motor i may be wrong .I went with a canopy same as old one and yes they can be a pain but most of my tools are in 2 toolboxes on wheels I didn't  want to go tray and tool boxes as a lot of jobs I can't drive close enough to make it easy.one of the selling  points for me was that the motor and running gear has been around  for a long time and with 10 yrs warranty  s

    Yeah I've heard  about the Mitsubishi Nissan Renault thing so if I was spending  my money I would wait and see for a year  or two and see if there any good.im a tradie so don't want to pay for shiny stuff on a Ute but I can see why people  want flash for the money they cost saying  that I got the model up from base and I prefer a manual so cost was about the same but has nicer wheels side steps and a diff locker. While I was waiting to pick mine up I walked around  the yard they are also a Toyota dealer I can't see how they are nearly double the price it's a Ute not a sports car and don't tell me about being able to tow 3.5 t safely I call b.s. anyway my boat wouldn't  be a tonne .hopefully  it's as good as the old one I've had for close to 15 years

    Never used a float for jackets myself  but  from memory  a handline  with  3_4 kg mono was what we used down at Greenwich ferry wharf always leather jackets there peeled prawns we used but yeah squid probably better. Can you still fish off of ferry wharves ?

    I don't no why people  are surprised that quality  isn't  as good as it once was we all want everything cheap and want to pay Chinese prices but we still expect Aussie built things to be the same price  as some of that crap . I've  just bought  a new Ute and didn't consider  a chinese one. People need to be realistic  if you want something  in new condition  buy new

    I agree with Noelm on this if you're  not going to use it don't kill it,some of the fish I see some people keeping  are not good eating .I am fairly fussy with what I keep even flounder are given to elderly friends as we won't eat it in my house. It reminds me of going hunting as a young bloke my mate shot a roo and just left it there. it seemed cruel and stupid to me and no I'm  not a greenie

    Hey can't say 100 p/c kingfish  as I didn't  land  any but savage strike  and hard fight  . so I think so . the shovel nose  are becoming  a pest and turning  me off drifting.  Last trip a 20 minute  fight at juno for what I knew wasn't  a jew and trying  for flathead  in pittwater  is becoming  a waste of time

    So launched around  5 am at parsley bay brooklyn and yes it was fairly busy about 10 minutes  to launch no problems wasn't  too sure about weather so decided to do my usual Pittwater  instead of offshore I've been doing  ok on squid  lately so yeah 3 casts 3 squid into live tank and headed over to see if any kings around  got smashed  twice (note to self don't take light gear for kings) and got a shark about 1.2-1.5 before bitten off ended up with 2 ok bream 31 and 37 and a flathead around 46 as well as 8 squid  water very  choppy but great day and if you have a bit of patience  not bad happy  New year
