Good effort

Im notorious for starting a project and loosing interest in it before its complete, like the 15hp motor I have under my house for the last 4 or 5 years......
so this time I wanted to make sure that I didnt end up doing the same ( the guy I baught it off gave up on it after what looks like 15min of removing the old windscreen)

this afternoon is the test run, and tomorro is the real maden voyage

so hopefully my next post is a positive one

vhf and fish finder go in today, and I also dishwashing liquid washed the entire interior with a broom to get the spilled powersteering fluid out

Goes like a rocket

Awesome! Top work man!

Awesome thread, I've got a mate that was looking at doing exactly that.

Was a good day out on the water
The tuna / Marlin didn't show up but the snapper helped out by filling the bin

Will done mate, that's a big project to take on and you've done it with style!

Im pleased with how well it goes, the motor is a honey and the top feels mint, which is awesome because I wasnt sure if I would like it
now I can finish the fit out to my likeing rather than just for selling it,

and pop my other boat on trademe to get me back out of the poor house and off my noodle diet haha

good job mate looks mint

thanks mate, I think it will look pretty slick once the rocket launcher goes on this week(hopefully) and the carpet goes in

time will tell if i paint it, as its a bit of a prick on alloy aparently

Just lifting the outboard up a few inches today and looking at changing over the electronics from my old boat

Out with the old



In with the other old but bomb diggity from my old boat



And this other good shit to go in that I'm transporting from my old boat

With the wind trolling in chop
Hangs around 6 against the wind which is pretty sweet in the chop



Happy camper watching Dolphins



Not really what I was hoping for in the lures

Had a stripy in the gear pull the out rigger clip bit the hook pulled and one rat King to round the day out

Spent a weekend at great barrier fitted the rocket launcher and then spent the next weekend at mayor island
Almost ready to take her to 3 kings
