Was hoping it was a pompano though. Those blow fish came through last year for the first time with a vengeance about this time. Nobody had seen them before from the beach. Then they disappeared. Hopefully they don’t t come through thick again. They have a wicked sharp beak, and cut through mono like butter. Super annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we call them bolt cutters over here absolute fuckers of things. 21 hours ago, LUGR said: Looks fantastic! Yamaha is definitely the way to go. Did you consider going twin Yamahas? twin donks on the back was the original plan, always preferred the idea of having two engines even just for safety/redundancy.. The hull builder ended up talking us out of it though, the hull was designed around balancing a single outboard apparently, after a sea trial on his one built the same we were pretty sold on it. Coming from a Suzuki 140 on the current boat so will be a hell of an improvement anyway haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimer Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Not yet, everything is finished except we're having delays on the outboard.. They've been telling us next week, for the last 3 weeks. Blue swimmer crab, rock lobster and pink snapper season are all opening in the next 2-4 weeks so we've put the hard word on them to get it done. Should have some good pics to add to here soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! Can’t wait to see it. I fish a similar boat often with a 300 Yamaha and it is a lot of fun. You have any of the Nomad Squidtrex for the snapper? I used those this past snapper season for the first time and they are unbelievable good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to pick some of those up, never seen them before. Thanks for the tip! Usually target them with Z-Man soft plastics 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimer Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 its a local Western Australian builder but the hull is based off the Edencraft Formula 233 with a few tweaks to suit Indian Ocean swells from what I've been told.. Did a trial in their demo hull before ordering and the handling was amazing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
