Markwi Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well thanks for letting everyone know Deepblue, I was trying to keep this trip quite. I took my son out yesteday it was a very late start "11.30" in at Oatley the wind was 20-25knts from the SE, I decided that it was to rough to take my son out through heads and also seeing it was the first run in the boat. I could beleive the water temp in the Bay 17-18c, I did circles around channel markers around the Molinex area hoping to see bait but nothing abosulety dead, then went over to Watts mainly to get out of the wind and hopefully get something for my son not a touch, moved around for the next couple of hours for a few bites but nil fish Ahhh! Decided to go into the river and I am not that familar with spots in the Georges but we continued my son was not willing to abandon this trip until he caught something which he finally did at around 5.00. See the picture he was happy. The boat performed very well in the conditions the Lenco trim tabs were fantastic and Auto pilot is to die for, interestingly when I was heading across the Bay the sterring wheel came off in my hands "not a design feature", luckily I carry tools and was able to fit back on in short time, it appears the centre nut was never done up properly, not to happy and called dealer today. Depending on the weather I am hoping to get out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Whitecaps Unlucky on the fish side of it But it is alwys good to give your boat a little shake down first to iron out any hassles you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markwi Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Njsconst Its a Barcrusher 640 with a 150 Yammie, after my trip yesterday it really performed well in the slop of a wind, for those that havent tried it they are very soft riding for Aluminium.

They are a nice boat.... but I want to stick with Fibreglass, call me old fashioned. I will definetly be going with a Yammie. They are awesome motors.

Markwi Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I faced a similiar conundrum, I looked at cruisecraft and seafarer, but opted for alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
