Hey Raiders, Heres some more trimming i had done, A piece to cover the hinges across the transom. And a new custom floor, Which will soon have to tanks made under it for esky one side and kill tank/fish esky the other side. And the little hatch is to get to bilge area and tank bungs when there made. Benny..

Hey chef gone fishin1, Mines got a stainless frame and then a fibreglass pod made around it. Benny.

Plazmaman, Yeah she go's good with the 200 get about 40knotts wot. Yeah they are a good sea boat and very comfortable to fish out of. Even better with the out board, The in boards leave no room Thats why i converted it. Heres the storm cover i had made to, It intergrades into the rear curtain so you can have both on at the same time or remove either of them. Benny..

Heres my old seat box from where the colour was chosen from. Benny.

The trimmer recommended the colours from the other seat box cushion ive had in the boat for the last 2 yrs and he desingned the lounge/box. Its also the same colour as my tinnies trim ive had for the last 7yrs. Needed more seats/storage to fit more people and fishing gear. Its hard to fish with 5 and only 3 seats. Im pretty sure lounges/seat boxes come standard in a crusader but they put a table in between them. And i have a 250ltr Eskys on the other side behind drivers seat. Benny.

Hi Raiders, Just had my Caribbean Reef Runner retrimmed thought id share some pics.. Benny.

I just brought a rod off online shop 60kg bent butt $150-180ish delivered, But now want to get a swivel tip electric reel rod from the usa, About $200ish delivered. I havent heard of any major problems, Have heard of them smoking a little when bring up big fish, But alot of electric reels do, But doesnt hurt them, And they have a built in cut out switch to protect them, And you just have to wind for a bit till they cool down about 5 mins.. Then turn them back on, I havent had that problem, I had a 100 odd kg mako on the end of mine and it was bring it in fairly easy, He took my blue eye about 100mtr under the boat, But bit throught the trace about 5m under the boat at browns.. Benny..

Hey Jess, I think there around the $1100ish now. And 12 month warranty.. Benny.

I have a diawa tanicom bull 1000 and its great for using at browns. I have a 1000mts of 100lb braid packed on it it. I know a few people that have them and have pulled some big fish up off browns. Its easy to use and has a jig functions if ya want to jig browns. Benny..

You'd be fine if you brought one Johnno. People with Disability's will always be able to use them what ever happens. You'd just have to get something from a dr. Benny.

Sams Warehouse or GoLo $1 each 6inch, They have yellow red green blue. Benny.

If it is infact true. We need to get the minutes of there last meeting to confirm if its true of false.. Benny.

Ive seen the fisheries out at browns filming boats in crappy weather and in good weather boarding boats, I reckon thats who they will catch people and if ya using it manually there will be no lead hanging out of the reel and you'll be winding the handle. And as for a buy back, THEY MAY SAY.. some electric reels can be used manually so use them that way. And use the electic motor to only respool them. Thats just my thought.. We all know what governments are like.. I have an electric reel fingers X'ed it doesnt come into full affect.. Benny.

If ya have no luck getting a key. You can just buy an new ignition set (key and barrel) from the dealer or from a boat wrecker.. Pm me if ya want a boat wreckers number i have one out my way that night be able to help you.. Benny..

Cracker fish there greg well done. Looks nice and cold out there to .. Benny.

Hi raiders, Im after some names of marine trimmers in the south western sydney area, Ive got a few quote and am looking for a few more. Any help would be great thanks.. PM me there details if ya can.. Benny..

You know the rule!! If its left here for 3 month is fair game.. S@#t have i left anything at your place lately?? If so i need it back asap, cause ill need it this week.. And i think ive paid for the rental of them molds for the next 10yr's in MINCE, LEAD, AXLES and ICE!!! lol.. Benny..

I was using lead sinkers for a while as we have special molds but ya go through so much lead and making them i got lead poisoning from melting the lead and it sucked.. But i find the lead is heavyer for its size then the axles 200mm of lead is 2.5kg and 200mm of axle is about 2kgs. Benny..

Hahaha Funny, You already got your fair share , Ive only got 50 left .. Benny.

I use old truck axles and cut them to 200mmish i use one and cut and weigh then i know what lenght is the right weight, I like about 2kg-2.5kgs(for electric reel) and weld a heavy split pin to the top. Benny.

Ive run a full bait pump set up before, Get a bilge pump 500gal and place it in the water then get a piece of garden hose about 3mtrs with a inline tap to regulate the flow and run it to a 20ltr bucket (i used a garden hose type fitting just drilled and sikaflex into the top of the bucket), with all holes drilled around the top of the bucket or put a skin fitting with a hose to run back to the water, to let the water flow out and use a jump pack or a motor bike style battery to run it with about the same length of wire and cable tie it to the hose and put alligator clips on the end, If using a bike battery put a inline fuse. And run it on for a few mins every now and then.. I also use this technique to pump water into drums at a boat ramp to put in my fish tanks when i have poddy mullet and yakka's. But the yakkas only last a few days in a tank with an under gravel filter system.. So just another idea for ya. Easy and works well.. Benny.

Hey guys, Ive got a tanacom bull 1000 and use it at browns, ive had no problems with it, only had it a year now and been fine. Mr Magoo has one as well and pulled up a 60+kg fish on it from the bottom. He uses his alot more then i do, maybe pm him he'll help ya out on details.. Benny..

Motor refitted to new pod. Benny..
