Hi from Aus!
Here's my new rig, it's a custom build, built by a a bloke about a 1000 miles from where I live. She arrived last week and got her first run on the weekend. I need to sort out some trim issues with it, but that will all come with time!
She's 12 foot long and 6 foot wide (at the top of the gunnel), stable as and can get up boogie! Top speed is about 45mph with the 30hp Tohatsu on the back.
Cheers,
Sam

Other than the bright orange, that anchor pole was one of the first things I noticed. Sweet looking ride.
Thanks guys!
Yeah she's a beaut! The orange is very bright but the anchor pole is awesome, it's almost 14ft long and clips to the side of the boat (I'll get some pictures for your tonight) so you can use it to pole through the skinny stuff and then anchor the boat when it's fishing time.
This website was a huge influence on me buying this boat, prior to learning about this stuff I never would have looked twice at this boat, but I got it for a steal and I'm really happy with it! The wife even managed to land the first fish on the weekend in it!
I'll be switching it over to a jet eventually - unfortunately jet's are not very popular in Australia at the moment, but hopefully we can turn it into a growing market!
Cheers again,
Sam

Just ripped off the stick steering system and installed a center console where the stick steer seat used to be. Love it!! The thing jumps up on plane faster and really opens up the front deck for casting and managing my fly line...
It wasn't as difficult a task as I thought it might be...

Only had this boat for about 6 months. Previous Owner was a professional tournament
bass nut. He spent all his time fishing and not maintaining his boat.
It was basically already set up. All I had to do was address some wiring and plumbing issues
and it was good to go. Pretty much Turn Key. Trailer is galvanized with tilt.
All that PVC pipe stuff on the back is the 8 rod holders for my wife's CRAPPIE STATION.
Easily removed with a few screws holding it to the deck and off to a day of bass fishing. (I made that part).

201 Riverpro Rcc. Waiting on replacement stickers from Kevin turner, that operation is a class act. Customer service is impeccable.

Wanted to post a pic of the small aluminum boat I bought for my city yesterday. It will spend its life at our sewer lagoons. Will be used for doing "sludge judge" tests, moving aerators, and cattail control.
It came with oars, but I'm looking for a decent (and cheap) used trolling motor.
Nothing like boating around in a poo pond.
