I'll split todays update into a few posts rather than all in wun
Okee Dokee trailer all wired up & skids fitted it's booked in for a blue slip in the morn. I'm alot happier with this wun than the last esp after trying to launch 1st goat on her test run day alot had to do with the ramp cause had to reverse into the water to get her off. This wun sit alot lower to the ground than the last wun elliminating that prob

Okee Dokee again
Not much to really see in this post cause all I've done is tack together the centre cab 2 shots of it's shape, this wun has alot more room inside than the last which was more of a consol than a cab. Wun thing I will say though is Geez I miss my workshop with all my press's & guillo' etc makes it awkward working this way. I've been using a mates machines, grossly infirior to wot I used to have with no where near the tooling that I used to carry 4 the press. To avoid driving back & fro wot I've had to do is mark out square sheets press them, tack up job then cut back all the non required parts, a real pain in the butt But @ least this way ewe elliminate any stuff ups. Bees dropped the trailer off last saturday his kids were jumping inside their heads poking through the top opening Meanwhile Bees had a smile on his face & sum ting which I thought was a stiffy elsewhere & No Salty 2 B seen ![]() I took a pic of Bees ! ewe guys make up your own minds if it's indeed a stiffy Those who have not met Bees, he looks alot like Mr Bean ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Guess ewes want to see a few pics of the goat huh ???
Well I'm nearly done a couple of days & it's out of here I'm not painting this wun so none of ewe dare ![]() You'll hurt his Feelings ![]() All the welding has been done now all I've got left is fitting in doors etc, mounting stuff like pumps , fuel filters etc then pulling it all out again till fitup. That is a lesson for those who aren't to clued on the proper way to fit up an alloy boat, by pre drilling everything in prior to paint ewe are protecting the alloy against corrosion. Paint isn't just for looks, it's also a protective coating for your alloy. Anyways here's a few pics Oh yeah 4got to mention that Salty poped around 2day & I had a hell of a time trying to evict him from the LBT he thought it was his new Penthouse ![]() I even tried throwing my dogs into the tank to retrieve him but they wouldn't fit through the opening

F'n brurry rain
Decided to sneak in my old wittle goaty B4 starting the last Goaty for a tidy up B4 advertising it Just as easy to give it a fresh coat of paint than to sit there & buff it up A few hrs on thursday saw the motor off , yesterday I stripped item that I want to keep like the furuno sounder, had a garmin sitting in the shed that will go onto the goat etc etc. Only took a few hrs to prep hull & sides for fresh paint but didn't want to risk colour cause the sky's wooked a bit black. Today they were even blacker, just gonna have to wait for a GooDarus day to paint. In between showers toady I'd slapped together the last trailer &even managed to nearly complete the centre cab for Bees goat minus the T top may take a pic tommorro cause munday I'm finally going for a fush

It's a conspiracy I'm telling ewes
Have Mr Bean sitting on my arse the past week unable to do to much due to lack of material Mob supplying the alloy shut their door for stock take & even though order was placed 4 days earlier by our velly own Mr Bean we were given the cold shoulder. Had no choice so I started preoing for paint Still reckon mine will be finished B4 Mr Bean's ![]() ![]()

Didn't all go to plan, Intended spraying Boat & trailer last Sunday
Hadn't realised that I was salty {short] of thinners & only had enought for the primer so that's all I sprayed. Monday was a scorcher & by the time I'd gotten to the goat twas well after lunch was out woop woop picking up thingy's. Not really up to doing anything so all I did was paint the trailer &under the hull with paint left over from the mix, hull still needs a couple of coats. Yesterday definately not in the mood to spray in that heat so opted to finish off the trailer seing the paint was dry. Alot of fart arsing about finishing the trailers 2 days work in this wun just to shut Fed up I fitted brakes to my wun:hysterical: Ha Ha not really to shut Fed up, I intend to do a few long trips with this goat & opted for brakes wouldn't have bothered if only using it local Got it all done today & it's ready for rego blue slip it tommorro

Blowing it's arse off today etc etc etc
Not in the mood to finish it off so i droped goat off to let mechs sort it all out Did all the tidy ups when I picked it up only thing left to do on it now is screw on the bait board. Also called in a favour last tuesday after 3 peeps my mate rang up 4 me didn't bother ringing me back in regards to the clears for the boat. I refuse to chase people & only ask once ended up going to see a mate motor trimmer deal was I'd get the materials cup it up & he'd sow on the edging, I was happy with that arrangement. I did choose the best of the clear material has a 10 year UV rating & wont go yellowy like the cheaper stuff, knowing where to shop makes a big difference & got away with everything for under $350. They were ready to have been picked up this arvo but I ran out of time, quite big & they'll just roll up when not required, opted to go this way when coming up with the cab design as I didn't want to close everything up Here's a few pics of the goat taken when I droped it off today

Guess I'd 4gotten how comfortable I feel being out on the water
Yep peeps finally took her out for a spin. Bees had rung 1st thing this morn [The Bastard] I was still doing sleepies when the ph went ling ling guess I hadn't jerried hu I was talking to cause I said he could come along ![]() Had a few things to go pick up & wanted to mount the lecky off my other wittle goaty on the new goat to see how it'd go B4 I ran out to purchase a new lecky. All done by12pm or so & we were off [just Bees think he was doing butz butz's] I was wearing Brute Just about to leave & Bees asked if were taking any rods ?? thought why not so threw a few spin sticks into the goat but had a bitch of a time finding my tackle bags managed to find a few SP's here & there & off we went. 1st time using the new ramp @ Pt Botany & overall not impressed @ all, Was talking to the Maritine boat whilst waiting for Bees to park the car& he was saying the rubber on the pontoons has allready started falling off etc etc, didn't like the long floating pontoons as well get a good wind come up & it'll be all hell if more than wun boat is in there. Wont be using that ramp again I think as the biggest piss off was the long hike out in the 8 knot zone B4 you could MC Hammer Time tis a good 20 minutes of 8 knots. Like allways I was velly reserved @ 1st just trying to get the feel of the boat & wot it could do well that took not long @ all & opted to run across the bay all the way to Towra so as we could try the lecky in flater water. Wot can I tell ewe guys Mini Me is is a pocket rocket we were flying & I still had 500 revs up my sleeve twas a velly good to go with the 115 HP think that 150 Hp Yammy would've been a huge overkill. The Boat ?? Big credit to it's spray chimnes going with or across the wind we got NOT a single bit of spray into the boat Bees reckoned we were pulling 40 knots I said 35 knots but still had another 300 revs to play with. Well they came into play on the way back heading into the wind & chop when I'd chased ran down then overtookanother platey going our way again dry as & that's when I said to Bees Now we're pulling 40 Boat handled superbly into the chop didn't even feel a bump very smooth ride. @ this stage Bees wanted to celebrate so out of his pocket came the Barry Manilow CD ![]() Told him I was no salty & would not be Dancing with him ![]() We did have a spin for a couple of hrs, guess I'm a bit rusty cause we only got a few hits but @ least I know a new Lecky is required the 55 lb Min Kota can push the boat ok but a longer shaft is requied guess the 80 lb'er is in order Anyways heres a few pics couldn't get any of the goat up & planning cause of the 8 knot zone Oh Yeah a couple of pics of the Chookens farmer as well.

Well peeps I'm tired, I'm over it & really forcing myself to get motivated to finish the last wun
Last saturday I felt great being on the water, no pain no discomfort till the next day when I started to do a bit of work again My goat is now 99% complete just awaiting for the new lecky to arrive & yesterday I remade the facia planels for overhead consol & Instum/GPS/sounder Wasn't happy with the angles the screens showed themselves on saturday. After doing that I went back to Bees goats centre cab it's actually starting to look good wun good days works where I dont have to go lie down & it's ready for paint. The temptation to go for a fush has been with me for the past few days so I rang Bees to bring his goat over I've run out of room so when he dropped his goat off he took mine back to his place to get it out of the way, figured not having my goat there I wont get the urge for a fush as I'd rather complete the last goat & hang up my tools for good & then I can fush @ will. Anyways todays swap over didn't go without incident did it ?? Bees parked the DUCK FLAKKA acroass the street I unhooked it & reversed the navara to it & hooked it up & all Bees aka DUCK FLAKKA had to du was reverse his car up the driveway hookup my goat & tow it out to the street so as I could the reverse his DUCK FLAKKA up the drive to where my goat had been sitting. Well guess wot Bees aka DUCK FLAKKA 4got to do ????????? Secure the coupling lock Trailer came off the towball @ bottom of driveway & wasn't it a bitch to lift it back onto the towball, so in his honour I came up with a wittle jingle for the Bees Bees is the DUCK FLAKKA I'm the DUCK FLAKKA's chum I dont FLUC DUCKS Till the DUCK FLAKKA COMES ![]() a1... Bees losing the trailer a2,3.... After getting back on the towball this is the Final product clears are on & so are the Bazooka's a4,5... Ended up blocking the street, prob not noticable to ewe lot but MINI ME & DUCK FLAKKA are actually different in hull design I'd lowered my floor level 50 mm & also shortened the sides the same 50 mm
