That shiny piece of boat is nothing but a Jumpy tease.

no he just forgot to check the view finder before he took the photo Fed, and we all know one of us would have spotted it had he not said something.

Knackered again

Big day but @ least all the painting is now done

Took me a full day to mask up all the striping & artwork & the sun was going down just as I'd finished

Didn't want to paint in the morn so I set up floodlight painting only took 1/2 hr but geez there's sum work masking up

[Fed]

Just took a look at your latest build pictures Jumpy, you've left me gob smacked as usual.
I'd give my left knacker to have one tenth of your energy, well done.

That'd make you 'no nuts'. Didn't you already give your right one to gumballs, so she would marry you?

[Bees Knees]

Hey, that was my colour for the sides I'll have to think of something else Thought you were talking Braun????

Mate, it looks great. I even have some movement downstairs

[storms72]

Great work JG, hope it all goes fine for you till its done.

Just a quickie, for my rod holders I use my baitcaster on I had to drill a large hole in them to take the trigger grip on my rod, do the rods that will be going in them have triggers on them?

Tell ewe wot Bees

Wasn't sure of the silver/grey main colour but it really does look awesome with the Black

Goat is now all wired up, had visitors over from Sth Oz so twas an early day & late BBQ

all that's left now is the steering in the morn & the carpet

Should do a full photo shoot 2morro

Guess I want the poofy trailer/float back now so I can wire it up & get it registered cause I'll take the goat down to Sea Sea for the motor buggered if I'm going to try & lift it on, besides I wont be able to get it past the goat not enough room

And yep I'm still going with the Braun colour scheme on mine but come up with a different garfushy this time, allready cutout the stencils

I dont use pistol grips exwpt when lure casting & dont need rod holders for that

I saw similar rod holders on a fishing show & kinda aped them.

Wot I did on these was weld a piece of 25 mm solid round as the base I them drilled down the centre & taped the hole to a M 10 thread, a bolt will screw up into that thread & that's wot will give a 360 degree rotation unlike the wuns on that show which were fixed

[storms72]

No worries JG, thoiught you would have it sorted.

[Fed]

Have you made up the sets of colour co-ordinated rods yet?
Two sets would be nice with three rods in each set, 2Kg, 4Kg & 6Kg.
Black blanks with silver bindings would look good.
You could do it in your spare time easy.

Think I'll be giving the rod building a miss from now on

The new range of rods from viva look grand

ONCE AGAIN SENSATIONAL.




BAFOO.

Yes Jumpus... He had a 5 1/2hr round trip to Kirribilli. It was that slow i thought you were driving the truck He rings me on the way to your place and asks me what your address is again Not good at all


The Viva boat looks great by the way. Very, very nice...

yes well done mate, its coming up really good i like it lots

[Christos]

Looking good on the boat.

[Fed]

No brakes on the trailer mate, what gives?
They right angle fuel fitting on the water separators, did you use any thread sealing tape or goop on them or are they screwed in dry into the taper. I'm remembering the problem Hank had trying to get his to line up on the right angle but you have got them both where you want them. I think you were probably holding your mouth just right when you tightened them up.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

No need 4 brakes weight of boat is well under requirements

Amazing how velly wittle Alloy weighs, trailer only weighed 280 kg over the weighbridge & it's all made of 6 mm thick alloy think Bees said he weighed the frame itself @ 200 kg so there's 80 kg of axles & fittings

I'm pooped & did nut tings today, boys came over & we got the trailer & goat registered so sum time 2morro I'll slip goat on trailer cause 1st ting monday morn It's off to get the motor bolted on.

I've prob got a day or so tidying up & she hits the water & I get rid of her.

Also took the boys shopping for a sounder & they favour Kungy Fushing so I've got to mount the new down rigger

They right angle fuel fitting on the water separators, did you use any thread sealing tape or goop on them or are they screwed in dry into the taper

Nope no tape just a smear of STAG thread sealer

I'm remembering the problem Hank

He's not Jumpus

Jumpus knows wot he's doing & that's why he pissed me off he'd pick my brains for info then ignore it & rave on how he did this & did that

The guy was full of SHIT

I can understand why as well, he's such a tight arse all that shit has to accumilate sum where & he lets it out through his mouth

[poly]

Also took the boys shopping for a sounder

J.G. could the boys got one at a better price from china ARE the Chines making them ????????????

when we think about this, the boat may make a great test bed for new gear coming from china, that's if the people at viva wish to

If you get a chance you should slip the whole rig over a weighbridge just to see.
