thanks mate ,they wernt full noise in the last clip ,they were around 4300 rpm.
ive also bought a gopro camera with mounts so should be able to get some good fishing footage soon

[fisho8]

Good Stuff Opti was that only at 4300rpm jeez plenty more to go there they sounded awsome just the same what is the maximum rev range on a 250?? would be about 6000-6500RPM?? will be good to see some fishing footage lets hope the weather is kind and it lets you get some good fishing footage. Look forward to seeing it.

Its great to see her in action OPTI, Geez it must hammer at full noise!

Any chance of a video tour of the cockpit/helm/deck of the boat? (at rest)

Just can't get enough of that Teak, chrome, and anodised gold etc......
Cheers,

Matt

just an update for those interested,done 70 hrs so far ,with some nice fish being caught ,im still struggling with sounder set up ,its a slow learning process,the raymarine gear is pretty easy to use and the auto pilot makes life so easy going to marks and trolling .
had my first day trolling the shelf yesterday for marlin,we managed to raise one fish but he threw the hooks after a minute,but at least we raised one ,i was happy with that to be honest,couple of pics i took with the phone,also got a new teak tackle station[couldnt help my self]make the rest of the boat look dull now,lol
the optis were doing 1700 rpm @8 knts using 18lph combined,so i was pretty happy with that,considering they are thirsty 2 strokes

Hey Opti,
17L an hr for 8kts, you gotta be happy with that! The tackle station looks great, my young fella is on me about putting some teak around the 635, wonder where he got that from?

No doubt you will get a marlin to the boat in the coming months.

Cheers

Bill

The expectation...first Marlin in the boat...nothing like playing with the big boys. How will she handle backing down Opti ?

[FishHunter]

Thanks Opti I was just admiring my boat and thinking of more improvements I can do and then I see this. Now I just feel sick

[frankgrimes]

also got a new teak tackle station[couldnt help my self]make the rest of the boat look dull now
