Well I ended up deciding to advertise it on the internet to see how I would go. Welllllllllll The boat was advertised at 8:30pm last Saturday and was sold by 10:00am Sunday morning. I am now thinking that I should have asked for more considering how quick it went. Only issue now is I have this big empty space in both my shed and my heart....

Thanks Huey I will send you a PM to go through in more detail. Bar Up

Fishraiders, Just wondering what thoughts you have in relation to selling my boat? I have been tossing up whether to put it on consignment or to advertise online. I haven't spoken to any boat dealers yet to see what sought of fees are associated with consignment and would be interested if any Fishraider has gone down this path. Bar Up

Don't trust standard fuel gauges and sender units. Spend a little more and get a meter that measures the consumption of fuel with a simple inline connection in the fuel line to measure the flow. Accurate as then

The boogie board has gone

Thanks Chris, Do you have any idea where I could locate the relay to check?

Went in it last year for the first time. Had a great time but did miss some of the giveaways and BBQ as they were on in the middle of the day when I was out chasing fish. Won't make it this year due to other commitments but would definately go back otherwise.

Update I have just had a look after readings other posts about the trim gauge and I have located the problem with that. The piece of plastic which controls the gauge as come loose and hopefully an adjustment on the water next time will fix this issue. I did check the trim again and the down motion works fine however the up is still intermitent, it clicks but does not do anything and after three or four attempts starts working??

I have noticed after the last couple of outings that the trim up button on both the remote control and the side of the engine have started to play up. Yesterday I noticed that the trim gauge display was not working at all neither. Does anyone have any hints on what I should be looking for or is it back to the dealer to have it fixed? Bar Up

I am guessing that the 2NM rule is a belief from the authorities that people could swim back to sure from this distance? If this is the case I am glad I have an EPIRB even when I am 50 metres from shore as I would struggle to swim that to stay alive.

Hi Jeff, Interested as to why you would not put one under the rod holder??

Doesn't seem to matter what I but but everything ends up seizing up. Local tackle shop suggested taking them in a hot shower to give them a clean. I said YOUR JOKING!

Hi Dave, Whilst not the best solution and does not utilise all of the space I found an appropriate size Plano box's that fit inside the area (560C) you have mentioned. I have to tilt the boxs to get them past the return at the front but once in there they cannot slide forward. I did think of getting ones that went straight in but then I would have to drill some holes etc. to stop them sliding forward however the Beer was calling me at the time. Not the best picture but should give you an idea. You could perhaps fit another one of this size but the others I have are double height. Thought I might also include a picture of the sinker holder. Simple to make PVC with end caps glued on and presto.

Thanks Shaune I was leaning towards that response but wasn't sure. Might stick to Cooks River until the new one is complete.

Hi Dave, Can you confirm if it is the new ramp that is open or the old ramp at Penryhn Road? Nathan

Great report their Slinky.... Could you provide an insight to what you mean by "High-sticking" in relation to a carbon fibre rod? Bar Up

Well the time has come to finally Christen the boat with its first run out to Brown's tomorrow to try and get a Tuna or two. Hopefully they are willing to play so not only do I get my first Fin but also the boat. Will post a report up hopefully with some nice fish in the shot as well.

Bob, Just make sure you don't do this in SA. Hefty fines for even using Carp as bait. Took this picture several years ago of a sign on the Cooper Creek. $150,000 fine if you are caught. Good to see though as the whole 2 weeks was Yellowbelly after Yellowbelly.

I thought the question should have been "Do you like Holden or FORD?"

Just wondering how many raiders are now going to need to purchase an EPIRB based on the change in legislation? Might be worth seeing if Huett can get another deal for a bulk purchase???

Read this last night when trying to find the info but there is no mention of EPIRB changes. Bar Up

Warnie, You mentioned that the legislation quoted is attached but I can't see it anywhere?? Could you please put a link to it? Bar Up

Just wondering which Raiders are heading up to the Trailer Boat Fishing Tournament in April. This is my first year but hope to get onto some good fish. If not there is always the to keep me happy. Bar Up
