    pimping my ride

    hi all. had my tinny for nearly 4 years now. when i bought her($3k) she had an old johnson 20 on the back and had a carpeted floor and casting deck. i dont have photos of how she was but heres what she looks like now. some ideas i found on af in the your inventions thread and some i have come up with myself.

    lol, you even found room for a gas stove top with accompanying pots and pans just in case you get the urge to cook up bacon and eggs while out at Mud. Whens your next trip, i'll bring the bacon.

    It is pretty good mate, I have pulled up and tied off to the mother ship for a hot breakfast a few times. Gotta get one of those for the flanders mobile!

    i spent last friday night hiding behind peel (for nothing) from that windy, rainy weather. no word of a lie - slept in a pair of shorts in the sleeping bag on double inflatable mattress and was warm as toast. poor old mate in his 4.75 with bimini chucked it in after the second downpour tho he was planning for overnight and the next day. i almost felt guilty listening to the rain coming down

    luv it si. even just boiling water for some hot noodles or coffee is great. another ausfisher posted a pic of his setup. unfortunately not in the your inventions sticky and i haven't seen it since. i had to have it! it sets up and packs up quickly and not at a big space cost. makes it a lot easier to put in the hours too. and yes, i'll let you know when i am breakfasting at mud next

    There could be a spot on mine if your adventurous...
    i could see you pulling em in with the handline.......
    i got me and a deckie at the moment 3 -4 fish comfortably on the boat. 3 is a little nicer.
    I like the bay as well but uncharted territories out there calling my name...

    You sure it's not the sound of shorting out wires? Good luck getting Davo out of the bay Lucas it's not easy to do. Who's loco enough to be on board with you Lucas? I hope they remember what goes on in the bay stays in the bay ...
    p.s Just need enough warning to dump a few sheets of the kwells though

    I put rocket launchers over the motor on my 4.2. Recently read a magazine with a kitted out 4.2 that had stabilizers if that gives you some more ideas
