i have seafarers vsea and now a viking over the years i have seen 2 c/c on the 4.75 hull only

i had twin 115 suzikis on my shark cat 140 were the same bore and stroke i can tell you the difference in the old v4 johnos 85hp and 140hp same block older brother was omc master tech he built a cracker of a v4 50kns on a 5mtr fishrader quinnie 1 different exhaurst between 85 90 100 125 135 140 2 different carby jetting you cant make hp with out burning fuel 3 different ignition advance its all about fuel in and exh out my 1994 4cyl merc runs on 2 cyl at idle to pass emmision stds then clears out a 2500 rpm there are lots of outboards with the same bore and stroke just different parts to make them more powerfull and more thirsty hope this helps

a good older seafarer 4.75 i fished in one for years by myself easy on and off the trailer will fish 3 as well i know of a real good one if in sydney allways under cover with a 70hp it belongs to a mate who wont use it any more pm me if interested its the first one with a factory pod and self draining deck

a mate used to slow troll sp in port hacking on a paternoster rig he said it worked i have slow trolled live baits the same way and that works well jim

years ago a church group beat a sick blue shark to death in soth west arm big sharks will go int river systems when sick as food is easer to catch there also remember two white sharke killer in sussex inlet when i was yonger they were speared in the inlet very skinny for there length i have only sen one large hammerhead in the hacking myself at the enterence with an incoming tide chasing mullet also a white that used to live off sydney had a scare on its face came to the coastal areas as well told this when i used to gamefich with botany bat gfc in the 80s

SIMON there is carp in the river at bowral near the rail bridge and walking track small fishing platform.never been ther but a freinds daughter catches them there all the time

i take it that you catch live bait inside the harbour i have had boats come and anchor in my burly trail before that close you can cast unwaited pillies into there boat yes there are some itiots out there.

thanks for the reply and i would not fish infront of land based fishers thanks

we are moving and i dont have to sell my boat. been out of port kembla twice first time jan last year caught neaps of just leagal kings but sent them all back second time in nov but it was rough for a few under size reds. i was thinking those brakewalls should hold fish as everyone including me goes out to the islands. anyone fish them as it would be similer to botany breakwall i have caught just about evey type of fish anchoring and burleying near them also trolling along them as well.should not these methods work on the breakwalls as long as the sea is not too ruff jim

one year the port hacking 100 was cancelled due to realy bad weather.we had a 28 foot berty at the time and as i was the skipper i had to take it back around to the georges. traveling throught the swell the boat broched and i was slipping down the wave in a 28footer.full power was asked of the twin 305 chevs and i was surfing a 28ft berty fun but shitting myself at the same time.got a 18ft shark cat after that and comeing home from marley point jumped over a wave and went straight through the next one.very wet been in a lot of bad weather but those two stand out my fishing mates call me storm boy have done for years jim

thanks will take them to port kembla maitime

found some thanks what would happen if i burnt them as i am buring off a wood pile on the weekend jim

hi moving house agin and looking throught boxes i havent looked at for years just keep on moving them i have found 2 flare kits exp on the latest is 1991 and also two flares that dont have any exp date and are in 4 different languages.can i go somewere and buy new kit and give them my old ones to dispose off also found 5lts of unopened outboard oil jim

hi i fished that area for 21 years it is one of the narrowest part of the river so tidle flow is fast as i lived on never fail bay nth side only bothered with the top of the tide one hour each side slak water is not for long.caught some big blackfish buy the nort pylon out of my little wooden row boat.plenty of fish in the middle 60s to 70s in that area even my older brother caught a 6 ft shark at green point once in my 10ft row boat.it was a great place to grow up then the oyster farmers knew dad and they all looked out for us

thanks you for the replies its only 5.2 and at the lower end of the market will look at the swap and sell section thanks jim

need to sell my boat among other things to keep my house what is the best media to advertise through thanks jim
