Haha, yeah! I was going to call it “whiskey tango” for the kids initials, but then Wyatt said no, he preferred Shark Bait, which I kind of liked too!

I have ordered these decals to go on the side too!

Good name for the kid too

My custom built fishing platform, with a skite pic, no bad vibes here.

6 cylinder 240hp Yamaha diesel. Economical fishing\trolling and can get home in a hurry if required

I want to do the same with a jet unit

The Boosh in all it's glory. It's a frickin fish killer, but not so good for overnighters

Awesome engine, will raise the fish far better than a petrol too

That motor looks very Toyota-ish. Yam marine Landcruiser motor? @BeeMan

Good question. The screen makes all the difference to comfort when travelling at speed and stops the "bucket of water in the face" effect . This is quite welcome in winter. Doesn't have any negative effect on fishing, but adds windage when drifting. The upfront rod holders are awesome for trolling. The only downside is that it has knocked 15km/h off the top speed. I've got no problem with that, it's a fishing vessel, not a racer.

Correct they are , still have Toyota stamped on the blocks

Yep Toyota, like the old cruisers but with a turbo. Sorry 7mmwsm couldn't tell you fuel consumption other than runs on the smell of an oily rag trolling. It uses abit at 40knts.

Jesus that’s a bit thirsty isn’t it?

New outboards for ya

It had a Mercury 115hp Saltwater series two stroke(biggest piece of shit outboard I've ever owned) on it when I bought it. That burnt 1.5 liters per km(not nautical mile).
If I cut my trolling speed back to 6-7 knots it burns about 8 liters per hour, but I catch heaps of Makos. I'd rather burn a bit more juice and stay ahead of them.

Just curious/interested as I have no experience with outboards, only jet boats. Our 7.6m alloy hard top running an ~370hp LS3 chev will burn through less than 30 litres an hour cruising between 25-35kts. Even on rev limiter doing 50-55kts it'll only burn 45 litres/hour. Trolling it will be a lot less economical though.

100kph out of a nearly 8m boat is pretty epic!....whats the pump and hull?
