if the motor checks out and you can get it at a price that takes in the age of the motor and your looking at a repower in the next few years then maybe worth the gamble just my opinion cheers dunc333

sorry rivercon i didnt look at your profile .if it was me my 1st address would be getting in and out of boat at the ramp.maybe one of those hook ladders that hook over the gunnel and once finished you just lift them off and store .if you google boat gunnel ladders theres heaps of different soughts out there

guys great reading and both frank and noel thanks for the list..bryant i did have a yalta 1600 for i reckon for 18 years .i bought it for 5 and sold it for 6k i think i did 3 trailers. a suzuki 2 stroke banga and a 4 stroke merc .i reckon with the trailers and motor and all of the addons i reckon i spent easy 20k over the years but she always got me home and i took her to the top of aus and down as far as portland in victoria now i have carribeen offshore and i reckon it will out last me cheers dunc333

so if it is just catch and release with the blue groper thats fine with me.please tell me does anyone eat blue groper.? .or can you be fined for catching one which wouldn't make sense cause you cant tell the groper the baits not for you cause your the state emblem .so its just catch and release for fishos right???? and no shoot or take for the spearos right???.which was always the rule but some idiot didnt know or he just didnt care ? cheers dunc333

get the best your budget allows

i dont agree with some of your reasons fab1 .alot of people only get that time off work to go fishing over the xmas break with there family, hence why its busy at ramps .it would be awsome if we all had the choice to only fish weekdays and lots of people work 6 days even 7 now just to make ends meet ..Robbos only complaint is the nsw goverment has a road rule that you cant park any veichle over 7.5m long or over 4.5t for more than 1 hour on any build up area 50km zone rule 32 street road cresent etc ,which is the most stupid rule among many out there .which needs to be changed cheers dunc333

hi eitai start on battery 1 .then half way through your trip when engine is off switch to battery 2 .start engine on battery 2 for the rest of the day so battery 2 gets charged up as well .as xerotao just said vsr (voltage sensitive relay) is the way to go i have one but its still sitting on my bench but will hook it up when i get a chance cheers dunc333

yeah good idea without starter and generic forward controls its doable .maybe a 2nd hand forward controls and cables ..your still gonna need a helm station though . i will keep a lookout where are you located paikea .if you good do it for a $1000 would you do it? cv"s are bullet proof .i had i cv 75hp ,i couldnt kill it and sold it on and i bet its till going strong

good luck for tomorrow Noelm you must live near where the famous dragons bbq took place🤩

not worth doing paikea unless you can find one getting wrecked and parted out i reckon not much change from $2000 if buying all the parts and thats not including fitting etc. i agree they are bullet proof engines with tlc .ring some wreckers you never know unless you ask cheers dunc333

The lightest boat in any length you’ll get is basically an open boat with a tiller steer on it.
No wide gunnels, rail work, floor, etc.Just a boat and engine basically.
like I said before my Quintrex 420 estuary angler weighs 550kg on dot as per weigh bridge ready to fish.
If you look at it it’s basically an open tiny with additional items like windscreen, enclosed bow, rail work, seats, carpeted floor which all add weight.
Like I said the boats you are looking at will weigh more, need brakes and you’ve got Buckleys pushing it on its jockey wheel over grass by yourself or even with a helper any distance.
thats including your trailer weight as well in the 550kg ?

$500 fine what a joke .thats it.

if charges are laid he will be named and shamed ,by the sounds of it hes going to plead he didnt know they were protected and spear fishing banned at that spot .to me all bullshit and he probably has a disorder and grew up in a bad family so on and so on .hes probably cooking it right now .enough is enough same as the cockle pillaging down wollongong way
-
what a shame .idiots like this bloke give the greenies a leg up to ban all types of fishing.As a fisherman i really hope they throw the book and more at him a tleast a public naming and shaming .people like this wreck it for all.

no never no dealers will take them on .the ones they have sold in america were through there brp owned dealerships.a dealer has to pay upfront for i think a minimum of 4 boats at a time and the rules brp have set to the dealer are laughable at the least .

i really couldnt believe they made a outboard for duck shooters which the prop could cut through weed, and it folded up into a carry case for easy transport .very forward thinking that one cheers dunc333
