1st dhu in new boat
Submitted by dakka on Sun, 2016-08-14 16:26
It wasn't big but 63cm is a keeper.
the fishing almanac was pretty much spot on it was going to be a poor day, had to work hard in the end but got one in the esky for tea. Boat went really well for its first serious fish in it since I purchased it. Loved the new tinted windows and new canopy did not get wet at all. It was a flat day anyway so going 40kph at just over 4000rpm 20 kms out for a fish was a first for me, as I have only been out to the five before in my old tinnie used about 40lts of fuel on the ole 90hp evinrude 2 banger so pretty happy with that. Hopefully many more to come now.

Congrats!
Congrats on "blooding" the new boat, dakka! You're doing better than me! I've never caught a legal sized Dhuie.. so have never known what they taste like!
Those old 90deg OMCs are very reliable. My boat has a similiar motor (120hp johnson) and its a workhorse. Fires up every time at the turn of the key. I have the full service manual for those motors if you ever need some reference.
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!
