The New Toy

[vipernut]

Hi all,I am one very happy person at the moment.I bought ny first boat yesterday afternoon.She is a pre loved cruise craft,with a 99model 60hp evinrude on the back.I got alot of accesories with it including a lowrance color gps combo(with map card) and all saftey gear.Also got 12months rego on boat.

Just a few little mods to be done to set it up how i want it,but im pretty happy with what i have got to begin with.

Now i just have get my boat license and i will be right.

She looks like she's in great nick Steve - you must be stoked! Welcome to the wide world of boat fishing - it's a bloody challenge but every trip is a good trip.

Where will you be fishing with her?

[vipernut]

Thanks fellas,yes im very happy.

It is extremely clean,has been well maintained and is set up ready to go fishing.

I want to do a few little things to it including making the rear seat more user friendly. just has a bench seat. I want to make a new one with some form of back rest and have already started measuring up for the job.

At the moment i fish in the georges/botany bay with my father and brother in law.I will continue to fish this area,but with the freedom to fish the locations i want to fish.I am also keen to fish port hacking and even have plans to fish lake illawarra.

I also have plans to fish windamere dam,as my parents live up that way.

I look forward to meeting up with fellow fishraiders on the water,and posting some reports.

Snappy, clean looking boat there Stephen.

I'm sure it'll get plenty of work and good fish in that.

The comfy seats will probably make a huge difference too.

Great purchase.

Cheers,

Pete.

Hi Stephen,

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on the new purchase!

Thats a great first boat you got yourself there.

My first boat was also a cruise craft, it was a 4.42m walk through cabin. I learnt so much in it, it had great hull for everything I needed to do and I had some great fishing sessions.

Looks like yours is in great nick. I wish you many enjoyable fishing/boating days in it.

Congrats Stephen,

It is a very tidy looking boat, hope you enjoy floating round Windamere while there is still some water in mate. some decent sized yellow belly have been taken near limestone creek.

Just watch the drop off from the bottom of the boat at ramp at the Rylstone end .

Best of luck .

We agonised over the name for our boat for 12 months , and then one day , the name just sprang into my head : Up Ya Go !

Hopefully you wont have to wait as long!

Nice first boat , those Evinrudes just keep on going!!
