Buzzard Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Howd'y guys, Thought I'd show you a few pics of my 385. I bought the hull about 3 weeks ago and have been very busy after work on the mig and rivet gun since. Launched at Bayview on Sunday morning for the first time. Stable, Solid, Comfortable..for only a few $ Edited February 5, 2006 by Buzzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Thanks Ken, All the super structure is in, although I've still got lots of finishing touchs. I've plumbed a bait and kill tank plus beilge pump all under the floor which I've gotta finish off. Plus install a console locker...and so on.. I was thinking of making a fold down casting platform in front of the console seating..If anyone's got any suggestions or recommendations they would be appreciated!

bennos Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Probably is a lot of Fish Raiders around I would say - have seen a few launching like ton o fun - but always in a hurry, you know with ramp rage on the rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Geez right o. Is a small world.. or popular forum. How did you go that day Ben? You've got a pro setup going there mate! Thanks Stewy, It's only a small boat but will do for now. Regard's Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantm Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Nice work there Buzz, Its a lot of boat for a 385 ! Never seen a center console in one thats for sure. I like it, very nice. One question for you, what made you opt for that size hull though. Would have a 435 hull added much cost ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennos Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yeah got into some kings out the front - was actually expecting a bit more given the water temp and colour in close but hey it was a good day anyway Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 G'day Grant, Yeah there were a couple of reasons I opted for the 385. Some being I already had a late model Yammi 25 two smoke plus trailer to suit that size boat. And I pretty much enjoy fishing on my own at my own speed, or one other, so I didn't need that much extra space. Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantm Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ah thats makes sense. It will certainly be good with a front deck too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
