Hi fellas,

So I picked up a new colorado a couple of days back and I'm gonna wire up some spotties. However I just wanted to ask any auto sparkies if there can be any problems with tapping into the high beam feed at the back of the headlights?... I've had a read of a few forums and I wanna make sure that it won't cause any dramas with the ecu's in the car... I've read that the amarok has a few dedicated plugs under the dash for picking up feeds specifically to avoid dramas with the canbus(?!?!)... Curious to see if anyone knows of similar for the colorado. 

Ive wired up spots in the past and don't have any dramas with stripping and soldering to the existing wire, or getting through grommets, but I just wanna make sure I don't make an expensive mistake with all this fancy ecu crap. 

Much appreciated 

Steve

 Added 35kg of live rock all is going nice .couple of weeks and some more rock .then some corals.

Hi guys

I have always like the old Formula 233 models. Forget about the Eden Crafts and more recent models from Australia which weigh about 3.5 tonne on a trailer. I have access to a fully rebuilt Formula 233 (from the US). It will have a 250hp 4 stroke Suzuki for about $43k landed with an Aussie spec trailer.

The floor, stringers and transom have all been redone. The gelcoat has either been refurbed brilliantly or it has been repainted.

The good thing about the older models is that, believe it or not, the hull only weighed about 2tonne with twin 6cyl sterndrives. So, on an Ali trailer with a 4 stroke should be around the 2.5tonne mark.

Looking for your input.

Do you think it would hold its value?

Cheers

Brad

 Hi all new the Fishwrecked.

Can anyone assist in ID ing my Goldn Oldy.

We thought it was a Stebercraft and Old Bruce Steber (80yo) Confirmed it wsnt one of his, a friend of mine thinks its is a Penguin Contender.

the stern is very similar to a Ramsay or a clinker Swiftcraft

I have checked it out from stem to stern and cant find any ID, I dont think its a one off due to the quality of the finish and detail in the build.

It was apparently brought in 68 and has been a one owner since new and lived its life in a shed, the owners daughetr tells me it has no more than 150 hrs on the motor. The donk is a Evinrude Lark x 40 HP Electroshift tht looks like new. Im in the process of recommissioning her but in reality it only needs some wiring , a polish, new cushion covers and a new screen.

any assistance is appreciated.

 eleven out of twenty new forum topics are stuff for sale.

gumtreewrecked? 

just saw ross lyons pregame interview how refreshing he can have a chuckle about last weeks game (a lose) and not answer questions with one word statements' like most coach's there is something about the bloke no wonder he is a leader of men he is the sort of bloke if he said charge you would follow him out of the trenches and I say that as an ex Melbourne player and still a Melbourne supporter we need him badly

 Any experts on here who know a thing or two about Mitchell Reels as in what they are/could be worth. Got one in good condition right hand 489 with a serial number on the reel foot 1273. The other excellent condition 489 Garcia left hand model with papers and box with a serial number on the reel foot D269109. 

Hi guys , anybody out there know what's involved in a FIFO services work medical these days other than the drug/alchol testing.

 Hi I am new to the forum.  I am wanting to try plugs for Tailor on the beach but the last few evenings the waves and wind have been crazy.  This evening the wind is not as strong, are 3m waves the norm or do people normally wait for smaller waves? thanks.

 Hi guys. 

Im heading to Leeman for a little fishing trip. Would any out there like to swap some quality fishing spots off mandurah or north of bunbury for some marks off Leeman. 

Hey FW'ers,

anyone heading out on Monday or Tuesday and might be keen to have another hand on board to chuck ropes, swab decks,pull anchors,share fuel costs, or provide bait??? (If bait's your thing) ,,

I'm SOR but will travel ,no worries!!!

I have all my own gear and would prefer to get into some jigging or SP as I've really got into this kind of fishing lately,,, but would be more than happy to accept any offers that might come my way !!!

Hi,

I am an experienced open water swimmer from the UK - I swam the English Channel solo last year - and I would like to swim Rottnest Channel in Feb 2014. I am looking for a boat and skipper to support me in the event.

Many thanks

 Hey guys

recently bought a new boat and going through the process to change the name......

whats is the right way to do it without bringing bad luck to the boat 

cheers

 just lost me best mate my little budgie jimmy pushin up daisey and thought i'd be sweet but sittin in silence without that chirpy little bugger is doin my head in just wonderin if there any one knows of a good person to get a new mate off wether it be a budgie whiro what ever they'll love livin hear and spend more time out the cage than in  

 Have decided to make my tank into a full on reef tank with corals and fish .I have a 550lt tank. I have made a syphon drain from pvc 20mm pipe  ,draining into a sump with micro bag and protine skimmer. Have done full water change and added sand, shale substrate.Will add some live rock in a few days .Will add pics as I stock the tank from start to finish,for anyone intrested.

Here couple land based  fish with out even wetting a line. Nice big  12 ft great white  and big yellow fin tuna 

Have just added a nice looking coral trout.also a grizzly bear. The new container has arrived so we've been unloading it today so tmost off the new statues will be out for the wkend  

 Gonna buy a new pair of polarised glasses. I need info on the lens colour for the canning river. I read all these awesome reviews about them and show how you can see through the water. I have these bolle ones with black lens and can't seem to see anything in brown canning water, it's seems ok for say bright conditions from the rocks at freo. Does different coloured lens makes difference? Or what is the best ones for brown water? 

Thanks in advance fellas. 

I have done the search of the site but can only find one picture of a members boat and haven't seen many at night using the system.

Question:-  red, white or blue lighting - obviously red would be better for night vision but does anyone on this site have photos or can recount their experience  ?

Any brands recommended (or found unsuitable so I might rule them out of my list)  - how much needed in metres for a satisfactory result as it seems to come in 500mm, 1 metre or longer lengths and how waterproof is it 

Any feedback or advice would be very much appreciated

 My mate's nephew a couple of weeks ago.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW1ToiagBT0&feature=youtu.be

I have just purchased a second-hand Webster Twinfisher, the clears need a bit of a tidy up, the boat was stored under a tree and has some staining from leaves etc, does anyone know what is the best method of cleaning these clears without affecting the vinyl itself?
