Mondo Rock Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vipernut Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 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.

mrmoshe Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manama Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 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. Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishDrought Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
