nice looking fit out kev,
have you had a chance to work that sounder on any schools
of prawns up the pine??
i can see that nice floor covered in that mudd ridden rockey shale
you get up the top of the pine. we put a bung in backwards in
the boat so that we can throw buckets of water over the floor
and drain whilst moving around. top job though, lookin smick.
dale

Yeah Dale, first trip out was when I reported that 10 litres of prawns a couple of weeks back but I didn't have the floor in then. She looks ok but she's a workin' boat and she's gonna get crapped up. Thank Beejasus for those cheap 59 buck gurneys from soopacheep

I had those ally rowlock type rod rests in her but they snagged the net when I was getting tired and wasn't chucking so high, so I've sunk some rod rests in the corner of the transom. Don't care if the carpet gets shitty, just swill her out

cheers

Yeah Rhys, the little feller is counting the tinny as his own and stdting for his licence already As for a tender to Sole searching.......I just found out that tenders don't have to pay rego........the only problem with that though is that you are not allowed to stray more than 2k's from mother ship...bugger!

Hey Kev,

Great looking rig, Do those seats just fit over the tinny seats and Is the battery set up for the sounder only and can I bring my tinny over for you to set it up? OK forget about the last one but I'm getting a sounder for my 3.7 and am wondering what size battery to run it.

Thanks
Brad

I see by one of the photos you are using the old style fish scaler.

Woolies sell a very usefull design in their tackle area. The a re simple and VERY cheap. And once you use one you wont go back to the old style. They just make scaling so much easier.

Not a great deal you can do about 'em mate. We lost 3 tents last year on Boxing Dayand the only one that remained in one piece was a Vango that we'd had for over 25 yrs. Googled 'em and found just one company here that ships 'em in from England. Costs 700 bucks for a small 3 manner but if it lasts as long as the last one then it's money well spent. The bigger the tents, the more they'll come unstuck so I'm sticking to the "crawl-ins" from now on.

cheers

kev

PS. Do you want your vermin sandwich toasted?

Yeah Brad, you buy the fitting separate to the seat but if you're not interested in swivel seats then the brackets are easy enough to make yourself. Personally, I don't like 'em 'cause of the room they take, they also sit a bit too high if you haven't got a floor in the tinny but with my back, I need 'em.

I have the sounder wired directly to the battery with spare lead under the lid so that I can move the sounder to the front of the boat if need be. Then I have power from the battery to the switch panel which runs the port, starboard and anchor light. There are two spare switches should I add something later. The power box for the battery is also handy as it has pos and neg on the lid for quick attachment of something that you may think of later and it also has two cig sockets in the lid for spotlights etc. They make 'em with ally rivets to the handle and cig lighter but the other fittings are mild steel Rather defeats the object where saltwater is concerned but I coated the terminals and anything else metallic with vaseline. The battery is 12 volt el cheapo 32 bucks. Good enough for what is being asked of it. I looked at the bike batteries but they needed a different charger to the one I have so I went with the cheaper option.

cheers
