Till a few months ago the boy and I have been using a smartwave3500 but this summer the Mrs watched us come in to the beach and suggested it maybe time to get a bigger boat
So went shopping and came home with one of these:
Seaforce 430 - 40hp 4stroke, runs on an oily rag, big step up in finish from similar size ali boats.
Has LED running and anchor lights, bilge pump (for when the beach landings go wrong), and still small enough to set the net with.
Thinking of looking for tuna in it off Karikari next summer, even put a ladder on the back to encourage @Mohawk660 to
come up and bring his dive gear with him.
Not boat pr0n so much, just my functional little 4.2 Takacat set up for fishing. Does the trick and is super easy to launch with an ankle-deep draft. Can tow adult on a kneeboard, kids on biscuit, drop longline, and of course dive / spear from it. Keen to hear from anyone else who has one.
Once the waters warm enough you won't have to go more than a few miles out, she gets deep fairly quick just round there in places and has that big ocean flow passing by.
I've been wheel man a few times between Cape Karikari and North Cape looking for Marlin.
Never caught one but some of the sea life is amazing along that stretch.
One time we could see what looked to be a large fin sticking out of the ground, but not moving. Curiousity got the better of us and it turned out to be a Massive Seal just hanging out one flipper sticking straight up, catching some sun 10kms off the coast. Then there was the large fin that followed the boat for an hour on another trip . . . . sat about 40m back parallel with the lures.
Then there was
"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
Awfully nice of the missus to make such suggestions @Barefoot better keep her on board mate..![]()
