    I am NVS.
    Mate...sometimes better not to ask certain questions.

    I bought 2 boats earlier this year...someone jokingly said to me.."who died and left you all the money"...my answer unfortunately was.."my parents". The poor bugger felt like crap..I told him it was okay and not to worry about it.




    Thats the same with me my grand parents died and left my mum and dad lots of money so thats what we bought the tinny for $5950 and sole searching for $67,000. It was worth $82,000 but we traded in our old boat kingtin for $10,000 and we got $5000 off cause it was last years model.

    Cobe...tell the old fella he now has the tinnie and you will be the skipper of "Sole Searching"..still waiting for him to take me for a run in it sometime when he is down the Pin way.

    Yeah, I've bent 'em already Was going to recess some holders in the reinforcing plate at the corner of the transom but realised that if the transom failed then this would void the warranty. I've moved the bimini for'ard now so I at least have room to strike at the vermin

    Jeeeeeeez JJ, tell 'em me business why dontcha? And your figures are all to cock anyway. As for lotsa money, Lotsa money is when you have enough to send your kids away to boarding school so that you can fish everyday instead of having to be home to make 'em afternoon tea. I can't afford that yet

    Pinhead, I'll let you play with mine if I can play with yours

With there being no clocks on the smaller ones you can never tell how much use they've had so I went the extra mile to get new with warranty.

    I'm making the floor. Would've cost around 400 bucks.........labour costs but I've nearly finished it myself and it's cost me 120 in materials. Can't make my mind up whether to carpet the seats.........about another 80 bucks for carpet as I've already got adhesive. Not so much the money. I'm not too good with my hands but it's a learning experience and I'm enjoying setting it up myself. Lights and electrics next

    cheers

    it is much more fun then it seems me and dad fit out one of our old boats with sounder, new wireing, radio, antenna, rod holdes and new carpet. It's good to see it all come together
