Just like a new born to mate, you will be up all night checking on her and wont be able to sleep in case something happens to her.
Enjoy mate.

Congratulations Kev, its been a while coming, and "Sole Survivor" am I reading that correctly? You will have to change your handle.
Very nice, SS Prop, and the Burley bucket is on and ready to go.8-)
I also like the Bait board/ski pole combo.
The jury is still out on the Bimini.:-/
What breed of trailer is that?

[KGW3]

Nice rig.
Looking forward to getting fish blood and seasick spew all over that nice blue carpet ? and scratches and dents in the new blue duco ?
That Merc is better to look at than a Centrefold....

[BrenMac]

Great rig mate- she looks like a "Fishin' Machine!!"

Hope you get as much pleasure out of her as I'm getting out of mine!:)

Cheers

Yeah mate, Sole Survivor it is. I'm unsure about the bimini but the deckie had the final word ::)

The trailer is stacer's own make, manufactured by telwater. SS props now come as standard on all EFI mercs over 60hp.

[kingtin]

Thanks everyone for the comments. I won't be out this weekend as I'm getting stuck into a few modifications on it.

A timely warning for those who think it's just a bit too pretty for blood and guts........think twice about taking the missus with you when you're browsing boat yards ::)

This is what I went in to buy: The stacer sea horse 529

but having the deckie with me, you can see the result.................;D....................20 grand more out of the kitty :o::) ;D She works hard for it, so she can have what her heart desires ;D

Nice look boat Kev,

Telwater are turning out some nice alloy trailerboats these days. They have come a long way in even two years with the nice new portofino stern set-up and lines.

I'm sure it'll serve you well.

[Ocean_Spirit]

Good sounder by the way, running the same unit in the Seafarer and it works well.

Yeah, I had the 7000 on the old rig and it was a corker, if somewhat slow on the zoom. I'm amazed at the speed of the 7500 compared to the 7000.

cheers nico

being on home duties I have no choice Nico what with the school runs 'n all.

Not doing much other than rod holder/tool tidy. See here:

There's heaps of underfloor storage all lined with poly and with bung holes. I'm, thinking about turning one into a bigger live bait well.
