Hi Fez

So far I have only driven off & on twice & have only had to wind the handle 2 or 3 turns.

Do U have any pics on how you have set up your rig

[richyrich]

Pete,

Photos of anthing in particular?? I basically left the layout as is, had the bait tank plumbed, drop in (rod holders) Baitboard (need to replace the crap plastic ones with the stainless jobs), Bimini (sunbrella), front & side clears, epirb mounted under throttle, fire extingisher mounted next to passenger chair, Duel batteries.

There are things that I would have done differently, like the rod holders that are mounted too close the the back side rails (but I suspect that is a polycraft standard as yours seem to be in the same place), did you get the infill for the cabin? I don't carry mine unless I know I am going to use it as it just gets in the way. I am getting my trailer mud guards rewelded today they were broken in transport and were held up by zip ties, the dealer was aware of this and is fixing in the first service today.

I did check the bolts on my seat after the first couple of trips but they weren't comming loose, the dealer did mention that this seemed to be a problem so I think that because they were aware of it they dealt with it so I don't have to.

If there is anything else you need or want photos of give me a shout and I can take photos when I pick it up from it's service.

Cheers,
Fez

nice rig mate - I reckon they would be nice and bouyant and quiet. What does the hull itself weigh? Cheers

Hi Pete

Yep I'm from Devonport, I think we have talked before when you were looking at getting a Poly.

I have a bright Yellow 4.55 Frontruner, I havn't been on the site for a while, I was in Hobart for 8 months training for a new job.

I should have more time off now to go fishing, finding them is the hardest part around our area though.

Good luck with the new boat, see you out there.

Cheers Andy

hi ozscott

The hull weights 780Kgs according to the book. A mate of mine has a weigh bridge so as soon as I can I will weigh it to get a total weight of the BMT package

Hi Andy

Yes now that I think of it yes we have chatted here before. I hope to go out with Sgt Flude this Friday if the weather is fine. If you are off have a chat with him & you could come to if you want.

Pete - that is a good weight for that length boat. Shows that they are putting plenty of guts into the build!!
