    That’s awesome- is he one of the costi brothers - that’s a hell of a lot of Flathead practice- plus you need a samurai blade knife !!! ??? 

    Maria and I just decided he can have a crew spot anytime! 

    But I agree like you it’s going to take me some time to get this accomplished. 

    But just to put it out there - Maria just said she’ll be helping me clean fish next time using that technique!! 

    Stay tuned- I’ll post a video as it happens ! Bahaha 

    Cheers Zoran 

    I'm looking forward to seeing that!

  2. Thanks Zoran.

    I have been using that method for probably the last 5 years and it works well.

    I have been toying with changing to this one but haven't been out much lately. I don't think I'd ever get to this standard though.

    I live in peakhurst heights but probably could go have look if my dad can drive me thanks for the offer mate. Am I better off using split shot as its easier to find or sheet lead? I know sheet lead is better. I bought JW floats and they need a lot of lead to keep em down.... Need to make my own

    I sent you a PM

    Ricks probably right, mines lower than that on my transom and it struggles to pick up at above planing speed so ive also got a pickup plumbed in seperately- my old boat had an externally mounted pump on a pickup which forced water into the pump- it never missed a beat, my current set up is a series of compromises and ive never been 100% happy . 

    I agree the transom mounted pump might not be as tidy but it works great.

    I'll see how it goes when I'm travelling @rickmarlin62 and then update post.

    Thanks for the kind words @zmk1962. I'm slowly getting through my list. I think that the windscreen 

    has got to be one of the next things, after I put my larger fuel tank in.

    In case anyone is wondering, my 1 key is a bit hit and miss, so if you notice 28 above, then that's sikaflex 218!

     

    I struggled with my laptop with dodgy keys for 2 years before I realised I could replace the keypad for 20 bucks

    Looks like ill go back to 91 unleaded and save myself 18c/litre!!!   

     

    Ive read that about the mandatory additives on other websites like racq and nrma and whatnot, but then other sites will say the complete opposite, so who do you believe!!!  So frustrating, the internet has made it so everyone has easy access to information and misinformation!!!

    Our local fuel station is a caltex and their site specifically says that the higher octane has more and better additives, basically trying to convince you to pay the higher price.

    I only ever use 91 in my boat.

     

    but when that site refers to the federal government rules are they US or Aussie rules.

    Screenshot from my 2017 model G2 operators guide.

    Whilst they stop short of bluntly saying don't use ethanol fuels, they pretty much imply it don't they?

    Kind of like saying put it in if you have no other choice and don't blame us when it goes pair shaped.

  8. From memory.... 

    5hp or more the boat needs rego.

    It's legal to operate a boat at a speed less than 10 knots without a licence even if it's capable of more.

    I think learning the rules and getting a licence is the smart thing to do especially if the boat is capable of 10knots.
