Submitted by PACEMAKER on Thu, 2008-08-14 18:00
Well its been about 3 months since the boat saw the water so tomorrow is set. The new larger fuel tank is in and the marlin boards are on. Time to take advantage of the great conditions and see what we can pull in. Is Anyone else heading out? If so have a great day and all the best for a big catch.
See ya out there.

Paid $450.00 for the pair.
Paid $450.00 for the pair. Made from Alloy checker plate will grabber bars and all stainless bolts supplied. I had to fit them. Got them done by Pete at Velosity Marine in Mandurah. Top job. Will get some picks up soon. Have to find the dam down load cable for the digi cam.

OUCH!!!
Definately pays to shop around, or at least ask the boys on this forum. Pilbara Brad put me onto Velosity after I was quoted $1250.00 for a new fuel tank. Velosity made it for $650.00 and it comes with a fuel sender unit also. Made from 4mm alloy with baffles etc.
Cheers

Jesse is busting to have a night fish, did it once in the other boat but it was a little bit small. use to do a lot of night fishing with my dad when i was a kid ,had some great nights ,fish seem to go of the bite after ten ,so i guess we will go to sleep until morning.
