Thread: Show us your boat

My new toy as I picked it up last weekend. 645 Aqualite with 2018 150 Yamaha, 60hrs on the clock. Taken a while and lots of patience to find this. Not many come up and the ones that have, all had issues that the price did not reflect.

Those Auckland west coast snapper and crayfish better look out.

Lovely bit of kit , VC would say it needs more rod holders, underfloor fuel tank ? Does it have the second underfloor storage compartment towards the bow! Mate of a mate had one was a great place to stow dive tanks etc ..getting the weight the down and forward certainly helps with the way the boat rides.

140L under floor tank. Two under floor storage lockers behind that. Easily fit three tanks in each. VC's not wrong, never have too many rod holders.

Mate has same boat with 150 etec .can go thru some serious chop.Good choice..

Nice..was it good value ?

I thought so. Was cheaper than the two on TM, both of whch I have personally inspected. With less issues.
Your mates is not the one at Grahams Beach? It has an Evinrude Fitch Ram which is the precusser to the E tec's.

edit. Sorry did not read your post properly. It's got a 175Hp

After a year's wait and a few delivery dates that turned out to just get my hopes up the new boat arrived last week
While I was overseas for work
It's in Marlborough Sounds and I won't get to see it for another 35 days when we go down for easter!! Arrgh the wait is a killer.

Old figlass fireball. 90hp Johnson, I suspect a few of those horses have run away over the years. From having a few play outings I've found it's a fun wee boat to learn on.

Move your ski pole int the middle of the boat, makes a big difference getting out of the hole

At the moment that isn't too much of a problem. Wouldn't be too hard to make a bracket and guy wires through.
