G'Day Pete,

What a great rig, I was checking them out at Agfest last Thursday they are a fantastic boat.

I will keep my eye out for you on the water, looks like you use the Port Sorell ramp. It's good to see some of our fees being used in our area.

Cheers Andy.

Nice... looks like it sits very snug on the trailor, looks good on the water as well.

Hey Pete,

Nice work. Thought about the cuddy 50/50, went for the bowrider.

Dont regret it.

Couple of things. After second outing, check and tighten all seat bolts. I will guarantee they will be coming loose.

Buy some clears, I did, and it makes it so much more enjoyable, even in outside slop.

Make sure trailer is properly set up. I got mine from the factory and had to re-adjust it, so don't trust the dealer got it right. Otherwise your boat will slightly warp. All the weight should be on the keel runners, not the side slides.

Regards

Darren

Cheers!

Picture almost set up

Have to agree.The sooner you can get the clears the better.Front and sides and you basically have a half cab.
So much more comfy for you and the family=more time on the water.
I think you will have a ton of fun in the new beast mate ,enjoy.

cheers Scott

Hi Andy

So You are from Tassie.

I will be mainly using the Port Sorell ramp. I was worried about the current there but the boat seems to handle it OK. Mind you some of the joiners are breaking

Pete,

have exactly the same boat (only Blue trim) get the front and side clears then nothing will stop you.

How did you go driving on/off? I found a quick spray of inox on the side slides made it easier, (ramp angle not that great), can't fault the boat, tough and indestructable.

Enjoy it.

Cheers,
Fez.
