DarkHorse Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) After a few problems and changes here is my new rig: Specs: Stacer Barra Elite, 439. Honda 50Hp 4 stroke. 65L under floor tank, Lights, live bait well and Bilge. Lowrance HDS-7 Sounder This is what I originally had, a very nice boat, but for the type of estuary fishing I do, it was not the best setup: Have had a quick shake down run, but not used it in anger yet. When $$ allow, I will get a bow mount electric, also the new lowrance structure scan............... Look forward to many days of good fishing and happy memories. A big thank you to Craig from Huett Marine for his input and help with this new purchase. Regards, Rob Edited November 23, 2009 by DarkHorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHorse Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Great looking Rig Rob Did you do a motor swap from your old hull Johnno, Originally I was going to, but decided to trade my "old" boat as a complete package and buy a new engine. Old boat was a 40Hp, this one is a 50Hp. Looked at the new 60, but the $$$ were quickly adding up. As the Barra Elite is very similar to the quintrex hornet trophy, I was very interested in your specs to see how the new rig would handle. As I said I would love to do the trip to Glenbawn with you guys. thats a very HOT rig what waters do you intend on using it on? Dangas, Intend to use in estuaries, rivers here in NSW, including Hawkesbury, Botany, Port Hacking etc. Went out today to Hawkesbury. Good day with 6 small flatty's and a flounder!

cameldownunder Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Nice girl! A Hell of a Sounder. A bit dangerous, I would just stare at that thing, and not watch where I´m going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 VERY nice Rob! It will serve you very well, particularly when stalking the estuaries Cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
