spaners Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Evening all. I have a Allycraft 4.75 Bar Raider with a 70 two stroke Yam on the back wich I love.My problem is that it will do all that I want it to do with the wife and kids no problems at all. But when I am fishig either alone or with a mate I find it unstable when anchored up or drifting.Is there any mods that can be done to fix this.Some body told me about fitting rails or tubes along the side.Has anyone heard of this or what can be done. Thanks in advance. Regards Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman36 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hey mate, I've got the same boat with a 60 HP Yamaha and have the same problem. It gets a bit hairy when something big goes flying past. I always look at other boats around and they never seem to rock as much. Haven't heard of the rails or tubes along the side, but I'm interested to know if there is a solution. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Hooker Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ive got a ally boat and not that happy when on the move and ive been told to chuck a coulpe bags of 20kg sand in the nose to hold it down. Havent done it yet but maybe you could do the same to compensate when your soloing. Jus a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusw Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 How bad do they rock & are they glass or aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman36 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 They are aluminium. I dont know if it would actually tip (probably would if it was violent enough) but it gets a decent rock on it if something big goes by and the wake from it is big and short between.

spaners Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 How bad do they rock & are they glass or aluminium. Put it this way,some times it can be dangerous to have a knife in your hand if you have a shipmate on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman36 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 They look like floaties for a boat. I'd be too embarrassed to sit in the boat with those on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helliconia Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Buy two 3m tinnies and attach them as outriggers if you don't like the floaties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
