Hi Everyone

I'm thinking about re-doing my bearings. Is it easy to do? anyone here done it on a trailcraft trailer? any tips?

Cheers

 Hi just wondering if anyone has had any experience with either of these companies 

 Anyone know of a reasonably price spray shop that does a good job in Perth area? Also what about the option of Vinyl wrap? 

Any ideas or contacts appreciated. 

First photo is the boat. Acrylic comes off with thinners as the previous owner painted it with pressure cans. 

Second photo is kind of what i want it to look like.

 Hi guys

Im going to look at a 15 foot ali centre console in the next few days with a 40hp Yammi 4 stroke (165hours). Ive never owned a 4 stroke before, is there anything in particular to look out for? or is it basically a case of check the oil, check the condition and service records? Im going to arrange a test run if the boat looks good but do you think a 40 will do the job on a boat that size? 

a friend of mine here in Geraldton has a team of 4 together entered in the Rottnest swim 21/Feb.

The support boat they had organised looks increasingly likely to fall thru, I am the backup but also now very touch and go on whether I will be available due to the present work situation for me up north.

So Im putting it out there on their behalf that hopefully there may be someone with a suitable sized vessel prepared to take it on?

I can put the team leader in touch with someone if there is a taker, and any arrangements of course will be between those involved

The boat needs be to 6 meters+

thanks guys!

 Anyone up for a syndicate to go thirds in this boat north of the river? I still have the lease on a pen in Mindarie we could use!

Hi All,

Im considering a new trailer for my boat, an older V19. Its the same hull as a Penguin huntress pretty much.

Im looking at Ezy Tow, Mackay, Roadmaster here in WA. I seem to be on the limit of single or tandem axle too..

I was keen on keel rollers and don't care weather I have sliders or roller for the sides.

For these boats, I see a lot of older single keel roller type frames for trailers, instead of the more modern A-frame configurations. Is this because they are cheaper, lighter, better? Im not sure...

I like the simplicity of them but all the newer manufacturers seem to be heading me towards all rollers and an A frame setup, all are more expensive than I was expecting too...Im a bit out of touch :-)

Is there any other manufacturers I should be looking at? I don't mind paying a bit more for a better trailer but they are a pretty simple thing to build, what justifies a more expensive trailer? Can anyone suggest a trailer setup that works well for them and that may suit an older glass boat?

 Hey all,  i bought this boat and dont know the maker. just have some original photos before some idiot painted it with pressure cans. It is a 2004 6.2m center console with a 2004 150 yamaha hpdi. any help is appreciated. 

it had bulletproof and the sportfish logo on yhe side but yamba and Noble both say they didn't make it do i as m at a loss.

Cheers. 

Hi guys,

just got myself a new little 3.5m seajay nomad. I still have my humminbird sounder from the previous boat. I want to use the sounder on this one but dont want to drill any holes for the transducer bracket etc.

has anyone had any experience with the humminbird suction cup brackets?

do they suck ok onto the aluminium?

any other ideas?

 Wanting a new or recognition turbo for a Volvo Penta AD41B 

 Can anyone tell me what best 2 stroke oil out there is for clean burning and performance, I have 2012 40hp enduro yammie, I have only ever used two oils yamaha and penrite. Cost isn't a factor. Any advise appreciated.

Gday,

I am moving to the southwest and am looking at the idea of purchasing a new boat around the 60-70k range. I am thinking an 1850 Stabicraft. I know these are safe and will help get me home in rough conditions. Possibly an E-tec 140 or 150.

Can anyone recommend a different boat for the price range or see why I shouldn't purchase the Stabicraft? any information would be appreciated.

 I've made an offer on a Commodore Abrohlos 8000..

after all the boats I've owned in the past, I'm hoping this will be the last for at least 10 years!!!!

has anyone spent any time on them? It's the one located at Challenge Marine.

seems to have everything I require for my usual overnighter trips out to the islands off Carnarvon!!

did this belong to anyone on here?

Hi, I met a bloke recently that bought a Razerline, lots(and lots) of issues. Is this normal? was looking at them myself but not sure now?
Anyone good any recent feedback?

I've recently purchased a new (second hand) fibreglass boat and am selling an aluminium boat (670 Coraline walkaround if anyone is interested).

Both could do with a bit of a polish.

Whats the best way of doing polishing them?
What polish to use?
I don't want to do it by hand as this would take too long to do 2 boats, so what sort of polishing tools to use?

Thanks

hi all

i have some damage to the keel of my boat and was wondering if anyone would be able to recomend a good repairer

cheers

tony

 Anyone know much about Evolution plate boats that were built in Rockingham? What happened to them? Much info out there on the design, ride, build quality. Any feedback appreciated.

Gedday all

Went out for a run today and after 45 mins flat out we stopped the boat and got off on the beach. After about 40 mins as we went to start again the boat would not crank.

I have some electrical knowledge and have confirmed that there is definately power getting to the first plug on the motor. This proves that the neutral switch and key switch are working. But from there the wiring goes crazy. Has anyone had the same or may know what may be wrong??

The motor is a 2007 50HP Johnson 4 stroke

Thanks 

ALo ALo so last year I recarpeted her she looks mint so now I have noticed on one side the flor has a bit of give to it... about a 1m x 80cm area not to bad in the rear corner, yes I am a big guy but even lighter people feel it so I try not to step on that area, it sucks as she has new carpet could the floor boards in that area require replacing ? its a fiber hull about 2006 it only on one side everywhere else seems solid so currently we just all try to avoid it.

Anyone have any input ?

Thanks

 Having trouble posting picture in reply is this the hardtop you mean off mandurah?

Hi, i have an old 70hp evinrude i believe 1979 model.

I put a new water pump in and when i was attaching the gear shift shaft to the coupling thing the coupling broke so if anyone has an old 70hp evinrude lying around dead i could really use this part.

Thanks

Hi, Was out in Mandurah a few weeks ago and there was an 8700 hard top plate boat with big graphics and a name on the side sitting in at Boundary island. Had a few young blokes on it.
The name on the side was quite large and the graphics were like a marine scene?
Im trying to track down what make this was?? anyone have any idea of what im talking about?

 Hi, i need to get acondition report on my boat this year before Club Marine will renew the insurance.   Apparently one of their conditions on older boats.  Anyone had one done before roughly what sort of cost?  Tempted to tell them to stick it and insure elsewhere. 

Cheers

Dave

Hi Guys

Currently rebuilding my 95 v4 cross flow, needing to rebore .030" OS and am looking for any recommended shops..SOR or freo area.

Hi Everyone

Just wondering if anybody has opinions/advice on fitting a rocket launcher to a 5.4 Allycraft ?

It's not my boat it's my brother in laws ( ours :) ) but we've been trying to find a solution to rod storage while on the boat for ages but we have never really sorted it. We did fit a pretty el cheapo rod holder to the inside of the boat but it's just not good enough.

The problem is the boat is plenty big enough to have them resting in front of the seats when we're traveling and fishing but when the clears are up ( which is all the time ) there just is simply not enough room.

So anyway  my suggestion was to look at fitting a set of rocket launchers above the bimny frame so the clears can still go up but I have no idea where to start looking or even if it'll be worth doing it at all ?

Cheers, Chris

 Guys,

Looking for what prop size i need on the Galeforce. A bit of a long shot as i dont know what size prop i have on it now as there is no markings. Problem i have is will only rev to 4600 with 2 on board and about 27knts. I have a foil comming to help with stern lift as i have no trim range and hope a new prop will increase revs to give better mid range. I am guessing a 15 inch prop and pitch or even a bit smaller. 

Any one have a simular combonation they can shed some light on. 

Cheers

 Hey guys still looking and saw this one a few weeks ago. He has just reduced it by $23k.

I know its a chinese built Noble and have read all the issues with them just wanted to see if anyone knows this boat. Dont care about the paintwork but do care if it has bad welds or strss fractures.
