5 Meter Build Options

[Bees Knees]

Well i have a new boat in the driveway tonight. And i am as happy as a duck flukka in a pond full of pretty ducks (cause no-one likes the ugly ones)

Me personally, i think mine is the prettiest out of the 3 boats, but it's open to interpretation... All i know is my merc is fatter and the boat is taller than Jumpy's, so thats all that matters imo

I only have a couple of pics because it was a long day, and Jumpy worked his butt off wiring everything up all day. The only photos that could of happened were of his crutch hanging out the console, but this is a family forum

Well peeps guess this is it, my last update in this thread cause there's nothing else to add.

Spent yesterday & 2day remoding , adding sum new acceseries etc etc

Had to pull the axles from under the trailer, cut & re -weld bracket for the brakes
Unbolted the motor & wedged it cause the shit of a thing was just touching the & I was unable to use the locking pin
Originally I was going with a yamaha & there was pleny of clearance had I gone with it but the new mercs are alot taller & that's where the prob was

After the day out on the water there was a few things I didn't like, sounder & GPS weren't user friendly when standing driving the goat so I remade the facia panel & tilted unit @ an angle, also remade the top facia [radio's] I'd stuffed up on the original cause I'd welded rear brackets arse about

All's GooDarus now

Cant see them in pics but I added a pair of spot lights , found a place out of the way for the Eperb, New Lecky is fitted & I opted to leave original battery setup for the boat as was &added another 2 up front for the lecky which is a 24 volt unit.

So I'll leave ewes all with an Old Blue Eyes song think it says it all cause I'm going FUSHING


And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear;
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've built sum goats -
They'll travell each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Mistakes? there was a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way.

I've cut, I've welded and ground,
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that,
And may I say, not in a shy way -
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
I did it the Jumpus way.

For what is a man? What has he got?
If not himself - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.

Jumpus GooDarus signing Offarus

ps] i'm sure Bees Knees is allready singhis version of the Chorus Line





Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
The Chooks they're gone


I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
I've had my fill - of DUCK FLUKKAring.
But now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.



For what is a man? What has he got?
If not a DUCK- Then he has naught.
To FLUCKaDUCK
While he kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.

Yes, it was my way.

Well i think Jumpy, "JUMPed" the gun, cause there was still more to add... On the quiet though, the Frank Sinatra song was hilarious

Finally talked him into coming out to 'woop woop' to finish a few things off today. We fitted the seat box doors, window trims and a few odds and ends. Only a few hours work.

After it was all done, the cranky bugger had a massive smile on his face I think he was pretty proud of himself, and why wouldn't you be?? 3 boats of same structure but totally different fitout.. He was looking down from the mezzanine, saying sentimental shit like "cant believe they are all done" and "wow, it's all come together, cant wait to fish"

On an Open Forum, i would like to thank Angelo for all the hard work, time, thought, and pain (when his oldman hides something on him)... I'm proud of the boat i own and cant wait to fish out of it...

Couple of pics of the finished product

5 am this morn the ph went ling ling & no way in hell was I getting out of bed to answer it thought it twas the Duck Flakka
Bloody thing didn't stop linging had to get up 4 a willy hiss so answered it 1/2 asleep & started swearing @ Bees only to find it wasn't him but a mate of mine linging to go out for a kungy fush
Told him he had rocks in his head if I was getting out of bed @ that ungodly hr to go kungy fushing + I'd allready committed the day to venture out Woop Woop looking for DUCKS


Ewe guys wouldn't believe it

All the way from my place out to Woopity Woop Woop my eyes were wide open in search of a Pottery Shop but none were 2B found.

Was it 2 much to find wun that sold Ducks made of Potery I ask ewes ??????????

Thought it would look nice on Bees bow

Seriously though still like my goat the best cause it's fitted the way I wanted realistically a 2 man boat I dont like refugee boats when I'm fushing & if I do want to fush more than tu still got the bigger goat.

Didn't really like Bees goat when it left my place but bear in mind it was parked in restricted space, today I got to see it from a distance & up top & had to comment I'd changed my mind & was indeed impressed.

All 3 goats have a different layout & I got to see all 3 completed in the past 2 days.

Have organised a day out for all 3 goats all @ the same time sum time in January

Hey Bees !

Wot happened to the pick ewe were supposed to post of the Dance Floor you built for salty ??????

Anyways peeps that mate of mine who ling linged me cleaned up on the kungs he was down rigging & no bait lasted more than 10 minutes tally for the day was 8 but only 2 keepers they went 70 cms

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Geez I had a few laughs 2day even b4 I got to Bees place a sign caught my eye & I had to pull the camera out

Next I hop'd on board & honestly thought salty was coming with us couldn't see him anywhere so I opened the LBT cause I thought he was hiding in there

Next we launched the goat, Bees was parking the car I was just floating on the water when a all&mighty roar caught my attention

Fair Dinkum guys I've had Sea lions barking @ me Whales making that noise from their blowholes etc etc but this was the 1st time a bloody Moo Moo Cow tried catching my attention, turned out she was wun of Bees's old GIRLFRIENDS

Next we found the DUCKS & boy didn't Bees get exited

ps] kinda like the last pic, it shows the water travelling up the hull & getting re-directed by the spray chimes

Well here's sum pics
