Much better!

You need to polish the hull Matt.  A few marks from the rollers I take it.

Pics could of been alot better if an 'appropriate bikini clad' model had been used too.

Great display of pics.

Cheers Pete

yeah Pete i hear ya in regards to polishing, ive done the sides and deck ready for the new stickers once the old ones were removed, will do the underhull next, oh and as for the model, maybe i should work on that ready for next pics, a bit like the WAFM ones lol.

nice work guys.

great pics - the boat looks pretty big in some pics and then in some others it looks huge.

looks like a great setup and handles well.  I love the curves in the tower - looking forward to Pete's pics which could compliment those curves...

gettin me all fired up

Mon, 2009-11-09 14:16

for Exmouth - but it's still 6 months away!! I guess that mean more time to save for toys and get prepared.

 

Hopefully we can notch up a sailfish this time round - that'd be a nice addition.

sweet rig!

Mon, 2009-11-09 14:38

i'm not a massive fan of glass boats normally but that one looks the bomb! love the hard top. have you tested out the under-canopy rod racks? how do you stop them contacting the roof at speed in chop? great idea.

I had my rigged fly outfits (9') in those holders. They didn't seem to bounce around much at all that I noticed.

 

Given their length, they hung out the front and back so that may have helped?

those rack are great, dont use them unless needed and havent had too much issue with them bouncing in it, though i might line the room with some foam one day soon just to give some extra protection

got to admit for a "COMMODORE" it looks greatLaughing. very nice Matt and some great pics were taken, pity it wasnt a glass off as some reflection off the water would have set it off nicely. great job on the decals with a lot of thought gone into them

Exactly

Mon, 2009-11-09 18:33

Exactly Russ...

A glass off would have been awesome... plus a blue sky !

The bay's in Rotto offer a lot more protection, but I guess given time restrictions we had plus the overcast conditions, some rain and the wind blowing around 12+ from the N/NW... still happy with what we got..

Thanks mate, that would help

Mon, 2009-11-09 22:18

Thanks mate, that would help for sure.

Sadly the ones in my range only have 140hp 2 strokes on, so they would be undergunned but I could always save my biccies and and upgrade in time.

I will give you a call soon.

 

Thanks
