hehe I'm a sucker for punishment Paul - I've got my little mate plus two teenage versions. They sure keep you on your toes!
Wouldn't have it any other way though, it means that as long as I can hold a rod I reckon I'll have someone to drive the boat
Re the boat though - I've always wanted a Hornet since around 2000, we were living on the Hawkesbury river at the time and I figured it was just the ticket for exploring (and yep the explorer is a nice boat too) and chasing bream around the oyster racks, and jewies around the bridge pylons.
I'm glad I had to wait as now I get to chase Barra in it and it doesn't get better than that!
