Mondo Rock Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sorry to do this to y'all, but I've just acquired a new boat and I don't know of any other forum of people who will appreciate the joy quite as much as you will. So here it is: a spanking new Quintrex 5.1 metre Top-ender with every fishing accessory I could think of fitted to it. The engine is a 90hp Merc Optimax and it runs like a dream. How stoked am I!!!! This summer there will be a new boat in the Broken Bay area - but I'm still debating as to what to call it. I was leaning towards 'Islamic Sea-had' just coz I think it's funny, but I'm not Islamic and I don't want to get shot. I also rejected 'Osama Bin Sailin' for the same reason (and it's not a sail boat anyway). So maybe just 'Sea-Had'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) You have made me laugh, but , in reality. My favourite, which I saw on a boat a long time ago, is ARGUSTUFT Howard. Edited July 26, 2006 by bluefin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Great boat there, Mondo. Will this now detract from your time on the beaches? - Looks like a "mulloway magnet" to me. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Fantastic new boat. It should be an absolute joy to fish from. Hope to see you on the water this summer with a full esky of freshly caught fish. Enjoy Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Rock Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks guys - I knew that I'd get a much more satisfying response from you Fishraiders than I did from the work colleagues (standard response is "Is that it? From the way you've been carrying on I thought it would be bigger"). As for the crewing requirements - Sharky, CFD et all - you guys know you're at the top of the list, but you'll need to give me some time to get the boat-based fishing around that area sorted so I don't embarrass myself with fishless trips. I reckon a month should do it!!!! And Flattieman - as for the elusive Jew - whilst I do look forward to boating a few I remain comitted to landing one from the beach. It's still my white whale.

madasacutsnake Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey Mondo, Nice boat! I just picked up my new 5.1m boat on the weekend too. I had to work all weekend and when I knocked off at 4pm on Sunday arvo I had just enough time to take some pics or........go for a quick fish. 2 hours later we were cleaning a catch of reddies in the dark and had no photo's. Will post some shortly. That new boat feeling is pretty hard to beat eh? I am sure you'll have plenty of awesome trips and good catches and I look forward to the reports!
