well we headed out to test my new boat only dropped the lines 3 times and i was the only one to catch a small whiting lol those swells were massive so we headed back in was good fun and the boat goes better than the last one alot faster

well done mate, not the best this weekend. no doubt we`ll get you out marking some wrecks with us shortly ..........

 

[cocomonkey19k]

well i wouldnt know mate i thought this boat was gonna be faster than it is lol and my fish finder is broke so gonna see if i can get another one next weekend.

we were doing 10mph steady in those mad swells i think on a flat calm sea with no wind we will do about 14mph we were getting 14mph when being carried by the swells lol it feels alot faster than it sounds

 

[Norman]

yeah, its not easy to judge in a big sea, wait for a flat day then you can find out how she does .............. have you got her a name yet? (it`s always a "her" by the way)

 

[cocomonkey19k]

i aint got a name yet mate but no doubt i will soon all i want is a boat that gets me lots of codling/cod lol some of your gps longs and lats would be great so i know where to find you lol

quick question:
what are those cheap garmin colour screen fish finders like are they any good ?

 

[Codfather]

Well done for giving it a go, gave the boat a run out anyway to see how it handled.

 

[eddie t]

nice to hear ya give ya new boat a run and christened with a whitie. lol

 

[cocomonkey19k]

the swells when i went out were well over 10feet it was great to bounce my new boat over the tops of them lol up and over up and over couple of major bangs where the water slaps the bottom but nothing it couldnt handle lol
