Till it twas lost there was a thread in regards to this topic only 1 or 2 posts in it so not to much was lost.
Anyways 4 those Hu didn't know I'm in the process of knocking up a few 5.1 meter plateys not much left to do on the 1st wun & since site was down I didn't bother taking to many pics. Thought it wise to advertise in the paper for an off sider to give me a hand this time around, bunch of wally's applied to the add & this bitch was the pick of the crop ![]()

Well peeps the other day I got delivery of sum Alloy eating termites.
Wittle did I know the bloody things couldn't speak Ingrish ![]() Took me ages to train them to correctly eat away the allot I wanted removed ![]() ![]() All the openings in pic are the different compartments in the transom. Tis a bit hard to take goodarus pics cause I dont have the room & of poor lighting @ times. Ass of the transom is now tacked on so @ last tommorro boat gets flled I tidy up & prep hull for paint & once flipped back over again the fun part starts I get to do the console etc. Wednesday is looking ok 4 a fush so hopefully I'll get primer on the hull & wednesday is a drying day

Was going to go 4 a fush today but didn't due to not so Goody reports.
Ended up doing sum ting different toady & did sum work on the goat Well Well where did that Porky come from ??? ![]() Actually didn't touch the goat instead all but finished the trailer off, all it needs now is gaurds & it's ready for paint, I'll sneak out in the morn & fold the gaurds up fopr all 3 trailers. Didn't have the polyethelene {skid material] so I had to cut up sum 12mm MDF strips to act as packers so as the goat could sit in it's true position on the trailer else probs would've occured when buiolding the winch posts. These trailers are moulded to the shape of the hulls with no adjustment available so ewe need to get them spot on, in retrospect all this fart arsing about makes for so much ease when driving the goaty onto the trailer those who've been out with me will testify to how easy it is to drive up. I make the setup idiot proof in case I ever have the need to do sleepies ![]() On the trailer the boat looks like a monster so much for building a wittle tinny I'll prob take sum pics tomorro B4 pulling the trailer out from under the goaty -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Mentioned earlier it's a bitch to take decent pics where the goat is being built
Took a few this morn prior to pulling the trailer out from under the goaty meant to take sum more later ron but never got around to it so this wun is all ewes get to see 4 now. A couple of hrs tidying up tommorro & the trailer is ready for paint, the bitch of a thing takes up so much space it's hard to work

Sum may be wondering why this goaty is taking so long to build ??
Well stiff shit not going to tell ewes ![]() Oh all right I'll tell ![]() Along the way I've been cutting & preping all the components 4 the next 2 a few f**ups on this wun which ewe wouldn't know are there were time consuming to rectify but ewe learn as ewe go along esp that these goats are my design & I didn't follow any plans. Also it was velly time consuming doing all the cut outs on the boat so whilst I still have this wun to refer to & take measurements from I've done all the cut outs prior to next wun being slapped together pic a1 shows all the frames the next 2 goaty's will also have transom doors unlike the 1st, consols will also differ not to mention next 2 will also have T- Tops Think all relative info is on the pics as to wot everything is

I'm knackered
Put in a big day 2day was hoping to get primer on the goaty but the prep work was velly time consuming didn't finish till just b4 7 pm. Anyways the goat is now spotless so 1st ting in the morn she gets hit with paint right after I mask up the allready painted area's. Then it's down to my fav part the fitout. Wont be able to touch the goat 4 a few days this time of year it takes a wee bit longer for the paint to dry hard enough to safely walk all over it etc. So it looks like I'll be attacking the next trailer whilst I wait -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Depends if I get time to rip off all the masking up 2morro if so I'll take sum pics.
Goat is all painted up with a few runs on wun of the side skins that pissed me off as I'm restricted down wun side not alot of space add to that my earsight aint wot it used 2B. I lose it a bit in bad light & the side that got the runs was patchy dark so I could see where I'd sprayed & had to go by feel guess I felt sum Diarrhea 2day ![]() I'll decide whether to just chop it back & buff them out or give that side a light coat again, other than that all that's left is to paint the floor wont take long. With not being able to work on the boat cause of wet paint I knocked up most of the next trailer today a wee bit different design to the last mainly cause I wanted the goat to sit lower. Allthough these are smaller goats than the GooDarus it's still a BLOODY BIG EFFORT to climb into them. I also knocked up sum beaut horizontal rod holders, these are simple & can be adjusted left - right ideal for bait runner fushing. Also managed to fit in radio, switch panel, gauges to there removable panel there's sum sikaflex curing tonight as I wanted every ting sealed/waterproof -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Did manage to take a few pics 1st up this morn, none of the goaty cause it was still masked up.
Strewth there were 4 times as many runs on that side than I thought ![]() Ended up just vibrating them out & repainting since I had to mix up sum paint for the floor figured it was a hell of alot quicker & easier than cuting them back then buffing. No runs this time cause I did the sneaky sneaky & set up a flood ligth so as I could see the shine as the paint went on. Cold weather makes slow work waiting 4 the paint to cure properly may do the graphics 2morro if I think the paint has cured enough. Anyways here's sum pics a1 .. Just the facia panel for gauges etc, when it comes time for Jumpus's goat it'll be alot more elaborate than this simple thingy, that's the fush box/seat under it a2 , a3 These are those thingy rod holder I mentioned for the bait runner outfits, they are now painted a4.. Well that's how far I got on the next trailer yesterday all done now just the cradle to do once next goaty has it's hull skins on ps] L/H side of pic that small portion of shinny thingy is the goat with it's final colour guess it's a sneaky sneaky preview

Yu Hu's
Tis me again talking tu Mi self ![]() Past 2 days haven't gone like planed & not a great deal got done hence lateness of pics Yesterday saw me running around & even went out wooppity woop woop our where skippy the bush kangaroota lives When peeps do ewe favours there's times ewe drop plans & go, in this case twas a ling ling on telafone to let me know off cuts of the high density material I've been using as flotation was about. Now if ewe had to buy this stuff best go see bank manager 1st cause it's $600 per cubic meter & wun of these wittle goaty's takes nearly 3 cub meters Well Jumpus even got up early this morn to hoe into it & NO I didn't wet the bed again ! 1st ting this morn the trailer arrived Woops told a porky there ![]() ![]() It arrived late this arvo so I did sum more running around but b4 I did I did take a few pics with the intention of taking sum more later but the batteries had Dee Eee Dee DEAD'd themselves a1 this is the transom with the access lid off , thought I'd show how I plumbed the pumps Not a big fan of hoses & opted to bend tube instead, under that plate is the bilge pump didn't use screws to secure it NO need that plate I'd elded in is a nice tight fit & does the job. The othe tube in the pic comes from the live bait tank & feed the Jabsco pressure wash down pump a1 & a2 Well ewes saw it all wraped up this is wot the paint job looks like without the wraping, thgis goaty is 4 the boys @ viva & I kept it quite simple me tinks it'll take me 3 days to mask up when it comes time to paint my new wittle goaty ![]() I did manage to pop in yesterday as well to pick up sum goodys I'd placed a special jumpus order to the factory in china sum time back & my new spin reels had arrived, these are the only wuns in oz. I was also impressed by the new range of rods evllything from Jig, Spin Poping rods etc viva are now manucturing their own rods & I can assure ewes these are quality

Spent the last couple of days finishing off the trailer finished it after lunch then tried booking it in to get blue slipped, glad the guy who'd done the last few couldn't do it till next week cause I found sum wun closer to home & not far from the weighbridge.
Booked in @ 9 am in the morn, unlike the last guy who wanted ewe to drop it off 1st ting in the morn & he'd do it whenever he got around to it , that used to piss me off cause it was 2 trips for me & last time I was on my way to woop woop & had to turn around & come back. Anyways did take sum pics when trailer was finished a1 , a2 .. Trailer all done hook it up in the morn & get it registered wont have enough time unfortunately to get the goat onto it & duck down to bolt the motor on bit of a bummer cause I could've finished everything off over the weekend & taken it out for a spin monday or tuesday. I'll still get the goat onto it though so as I can move it around + I want to sneak my old wittle tinny up the drive tidy it up & prob give the sides a quick coat of paint then I'll put it on the market. a3.. Hard to see it behind the special spoofylacockessen steering wheel, with these goat opted to steer weel clear of those chi nee hydraulic steering kits [Baystar , Sea Star] I've had them on previous boats & they shite themselves, the chi nee use a cup washer instead of O Rings like the Aussie made Hy-Drive units. I've allways had probs with leaks & think you're better off spending the eztra $$'s & getting sum ting of better quality. a4.. The front section with lids on, that top part will be carpeted For those wondering wot that reccessed part up against the cab is ??? It's the rod storage section & I opted to reccess it so as the reels sit in the reccess away from any salt spray I'll supply another pic once I fitted the racks a5.. Just a pic of the bow & storage locker under the anchor well, goat has also a plate welded in for a lecky a6.. Ewes have seen it in other pics this is the transom To the left houses the Jabsco wash down pump haven't screwed in the gun yet just left the hose sitting there, it's 5 meter long so can go right up the front of the goaty to get it sqeaky clean. Compartment next to it is where all the cables arrive aft from the consol, was velly lucky to get elly ting through & ewe learn as ewe go I'll double up the tube running under floor & weld it in alot shallower. Fuel filter/water separator, Me Tinks your a wally if ewe dont have wun on your goat, I've pre prepared the other 2 & sat wun on the outside for a better squizz, I do a few mods to the bought unit like replace bolts/shafts etc with stainless wuns s/s is a clean metal & I've had the zinc plated wuns run rust even though they're in fuel, prob with that is it stains the glass bowl & makes it hrad to see water from the fuel level. Also & most important for anywun wanting to use these CAV filters { i prefer them over the other type simply cause they have a glass bowl & not wun made of acrylic} These CAV's come with a nylon bleeding screw WELL PISS THEM OFF right away cause they are crap, they crystalise & will snap off the 1st time ewe go to bleed any water out. I drill out the existing hole & re thread it to accomidate a ball valve to easy like this just flick the lever & she bleeds, another advantage is I screw in a barbed hose fitting to the valve gold when it comes time to prime the fuel system I just attach an electric fuel pump to it & the system is full. Cause of the long runs in the fuel system I'd be there for yonks trying to do it manually using the hand priming bulb

Well peeps & poops !
It nearly went to plan 2day I had no probs bolting the motor on hooked up the conto; cables etc etc Then I went to plug in the main electrical harness & got the poo poo's ![]() Brurry iriots @ Yamaha had sent out the wrong wun, I'll take a tick out to clarify. Had I ordered a stock standard package there would've been no probs but I wanted Binacle controls for these goats so had to order motor minus factory control box & they gave me the binacle + seperate ignition switch. Prob was the main harness was a 7 pin suited to the smaller motors & not a 9 pin to suit the Yam on the back of the goaty. Chris had a spare in stock so we tested everything B4 pulled out the old & ran the new. I was not in the mood @ this stage cause it was a bitch & I gave up after 1/2 hr of trying Super tight where I'd run everything under floor [wun of the stuff ups on this goat you'd think 76mm round tube would've been big enough] wont happen on the next 2 goats. The loom was prob the 1st thing I ran through the tube only because of the plug on the end being so big, looks like I'll have to disconect the control cables & maybe the hydraulic lines tommorro to get the harness through. Anyways here's a few more pics

Any Bloody wun tu wooky @ sum pics of the goaty on the wata ???????????
![]() 1st pic I had to keep going to the transom just to check that the motor was running or look @ the tacho it's that quiet it's unbelievable. The Yam's on my big goaty are a few years old now & I like the improvements on the new yams. Fed aka Mr shinny Head was there as well & he can vouch for lack of engine noise. I didn't really open the throatle right out wanted to run motor in 1st, the 80 HP purrs along just fine BUT I want to be able to say Mines bigger than yours so I've ordered a 115 HP Yammy 4 banger, was nearly tempted to go the 150 Hp but opted not to. To late fot the 2nd got cause water test was only last week & I'd allready progressed to far on the 2nd goat to re modify BUT on Jumpus's goaty a few mods will take place main wun being to drop the floor level down around 3". Ewe may be able to pick it out in the pics floor level to water line is around 12 " a long way down to wash your hands. Haven't taken any pics of 2nd goaty which is nearly finished from my end may do so tommorro

Better pull my finger out & take sum pics tommorro.
2nd goaty is ready to start on the consol finished just about everything else off today fuel tank fitted floor welded shut etc etc etc. This goaty has gone together like a dream with none of the probs of the 1st wun Wise man wunce told me he hu no learn from mistakes is wun big Fu & Jumpus is no big Fu ![]() I'm not painting this goat exept for the hull which I'll prob do on Sunday I did however paint the fuel tank only cause didn't use 5083 alloy & thought it wise to give it a pain ting thingy besides I wanted to see how spoofylacockassen wun of the colours I chose 4 my goaty looked so I resprayed the trailer rims. Where was this colour when I sprayed the Jumpus GooDarus ??? I love it & may even give a sneak preview tommorro. I also got a Ling Ling on the telifone 2day, good mate of mine who I buy all my donks from got sum prices for me & also told me he can get his hands on a 150 HP Yammy 4 banger @ a velly good price. These donks are around the 20 K mark new this wun is late 2008 with under 100 hrs on the clock sum idiot thought it wise to go to a bloody ETEC of all thingys. I have to tink about it tis alot of HP for the goaty buy hey if I do go that way boy WATTO understatement Mines Bigger than Yours will Bees ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Got around to drawing sum pics
Bitch to work underneath so I was ti;ting it on the hull skins, all prep'd should have paint on the hull 2morro. A few changes to this goaty the transom walk through 4 wun , these walk throughs make it so much easier to get in & out the goat last goat gave me the shites climbing in every 5minutes, other changes aren't that noticeable @ this stage. This time I'll be building the cab out of the goat, I'll just template the shape & build it on a board Anyways here's a few pics I drew up

Well peeps goaty no 2 is nearly over prob could've finished all the work on the boat 2day but that bloody wind was a howling & ewe cant weld like that as the wind takes the gas away.
Thisgoaty has a different layout to the 1st & I opted tomake the centre cab removable this time it ![]() Tis much easier to work on the floor than in the goat, I'd tack welded the cab together on the boat welded mounting plates drilled them all up so when the cab is ready to fit up it just drops in & bolts up. Bit of a lazy day 2day welded up loose bits in the garage like the kill tanks for tis & my goat my fuel tank etc etc Then Dr WATTO rocked up 1st thing in the morning well after lunch ![]() Dropped off the trailer but I couldn't be bothered & didn't touch it today, I'll wire it up & fit the skids etc 2morro I'll update with sum pics as well if I can find my crayons -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
