    Transom Mount Bait Station

    Not my boat in the Captain's video, but that is where I saw it first, then contacted Short Marine. The build a few. Mine was being built at the same time as another. Had to take out the livebait tank (which is easy) to mount the bait station only to find there is a horizontal fiberglass lip...

    Transom Mount Bait Station

    Yes, Short Marine. I’ve been working for a US company for the past 4 years and I get a yearly bonus, which I have never received before. Not a big thing in Aust. So I decided it is my “By the Boat Bling Bonus” and lashed out and bought the Bait Station. They shipped it to me and I installed it...

    I have a 2006 250hp running a SWSII 15 1/2 x 17. Hardtop, enclosure, bottom paint, 92gal fuel, no aux tank yet, 2-3 people. Planing well before 4k. Getting close to 25mph at 3500rpm. 42-43mph 5600rpm. Was thinking of going to the prop you have. Find the boat is a bit stern heavy and could...

    The 1700 is beige, the 1000 is clear. 5200 for gluing pulpit down. Not sure that where I would use clear and not beige.

    Bow Pulpit is Finally Here.

    I ordered the bow pulpit for my 228 back in June was supposed to come with a boat shipment arriving mid August but with boat manufacturing delays it arrived this week. It doesn’t have mounting holes pre-drilled but there are dimples showing where the bolts go which is good. They supplied 3 tubes...

    The Walk Around Cuddy R.I.P.

    First and foremost I use my boats for fishing. So up until I bought the 228 I’ve had centre consoles. It’s hard to beat a CC for a fishing boat. I bought the 228 because I wanted to do multi day trips on the Lower Great Barrier Reef and overnight in some of the navigable lagoons. So the 228 fits...

    1987 Seafarer vs.2014

    It won’t have the same ride as the the 2014 as the Sea V2 hull wasn’t introduced until 1989.

    Yamaha Helmaster

    No. But I want one. Didn’t realize it had a spot lock function. Not needing an electric motor, batteries and cables would pay for about half. Gotta start saving my pennies for when I re-power.
