hi, looking at getting a house boat for the hair tale social and was wondering if anyone had any tips for areas for setting up anchor and using it as a base.

Looking at getting a house boat for the hair tale night, where would be some good spots to set up a base?

Johnno, Kings social on Sunday...... also have RDO on Monday might go for a fish with a mate not sure where yet. I'm in a blue and white run about with big Mad keen sticker on the front come and say g'day. might meet up if your fishing the RDO....Love the RDOs

Does anyone see the point of trying to launch from Rose Bay at 4:30-5am Sunday?

Whats it like at 5am as far as being busy?

Thanks for that mate, i thought it was around there somewhere just could'nt pin point it on the map....cheers.

Can someone please tell me the address of the Rose Bay boat ramp?

I'll be there for the social, i'm boat based and will have the missus with me.

Cheers for that mate i'm going to re seal everything on the back of the boat tomorrow so hopefully should solve the problem.

I have a fibreglass round about, i have'nt gota speedo. The only thing that is screwed into the boat is the sounder fittings, the tow hook and the bungs.

I keep the boat in the garage all the time with it raised at the front with the bungs out and have replaced the bungs but i'll try re sealing the bung areas. Thanks i hope that is all it is

Hi, I went out for a 6 hour fish last night and when we were heading back I noticed a puddle of water around the front seat and when i pulled it out of the water a fair bit of water came out of the two side bungs. I usally get a bit of water out of the centre bung but not from the side ones, last night we did do a bit reversing picking up crab pots and what not and they was a bit of a swell, and were traveling quite slow when moving spots. I've got no visable damage on the hull of the boat, had the bungs in tight. If anyone has any input would be great, i've never had this before ( have never done that much reversing before in one session) Thans Nick

I'll be heading off for a fish an Friday arvo 15th about 5:30ish from Bayview, probly start around the back of Scotland Island and then head up between Barrenjoey and Flit and Steel. I'm in a 15ft blue and white sportsman craft with white bimini and whit screen, if your out too come say Gday. Cheers Nick

HI, You can use these clips that they use on roofs of building to hold them down, its has one bolt in the middle and a small plate that hooks over two sections on the mesh and when tightened up sits pretty flush (hard to explain) if i'm on a roof that has them in the near future i'll get a photo of one but any commercial roofing company should sell them, CSR maybe.

Hi try using load tranfering rods it will spread out the load more evenly and won't let the back of the car sag too much. I used to use them on my ute which was lowered 5inchs! towing a 1200kg race car had no probs, found to quite good on the freeway. You can get them from caravan dealers also come with a plate that is bolted between the tounge and ball with holes in it where the rods hook in.
