over the last 3 months when ever i got a chance i have been fitting out my new boat.
its a poly boat from new Zealand its 3.5m long and 1700 wide weighs 120kg and takes a 30hp. hoping to get it on the water in the next couple of weeks. any ideas for the rest of the fit out would be appreciated. i have finished 90% of the electronics lights bilge ect just
need to work out some kind of a bait board and transducer bracket.

cheers dave

Looks good. My only suggestion would be to replace the handle on the casting deck to one that is flush with the deck. The one you have will take out a toe or worst.

Have you heard of Poly Boat Owners? They have some really good ideas on that site. You should check them out if you're not already a member.

G'day Dave. Nice boat mate. Don't worry about it melting in the sun - you're so far south you're almost not in Qld........
I'm a member at Polyboatowners. I'll give the site owner (Doug) a nudge. Unusual for him not to reply. The silly old phart is probably still wobbling his zimmer frame toward the computer.
Cheers mate.

You will love your plastic boat,they are great,I have had a Polycraft 4.5 for 11 years and been all over the place in it.Don't worry about Chocolatecow,he would not know his arse from his elbow ! As Apollo said,lose that handle on the casting deck,I can see a toe boing missing there.Send Doug another email at Polyboatowners,tell him we sent you and he will feel sorry for you.

sweet will give them a email over the weekend thanks. still making up my mind about the handle might just finish up running a small peace of rope.

no. you will trip over it. go to a chandlery and get a recessed latch. cost you no more than $15.
