With the economy of 4 bangers these days that's more than enough

Marcel
Bafoo

Marcel, I've seen you in that skin-tight t-shirt of yours... Your not hungry mate

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'm feeling sorry for the ranger that try's that, J.G. will have the law down pat by now, and give a real bad time to he or she who thinks they must be obeyed, what say you Jumpus.

Me Tinks Bees has been hanging around Oxford St a bit to much lately

Ranger in the area is an OK bloke, you'll allways get arseholes in every street like the bitch down the bottom of the street who complained to council about all the boats in the street after I had a run in with her wun night.

The street is a no through road with a turning bay down the bottom, I got stuck wun night cause sum f***wit had parked there after a door knock we were unable to locate the owner & I had the shits by now, no choice it took me about 30 or so forward/reversre moves to get clear which included driving up onto a garden.

This bitch came out & strated winging, I told her to go away cause she was starting to piss me off & the garden did not belong to her, nothing elligal about the 5 or so boats in the street exept they were all facing the wrong way, Ranger had to attend & get all who owned a goat to have them face the other way but told me I can put my big wun back the way it was after a month or so & if there was any other complaint he'd come see me 1st again.

There's also a miserable silly old prick across the road who winges about anything & everything every wun in the street hates the fool, he had the hide to try & orchestate a partition to stop me from building the goats.

Everywun refused to sign & told him to get f***ed he even went to the next street where the mayor lives again he got zero signaturesinstead alot of those peeps came & told me wot he was up to & boy didn't I give him a serving, thought the old prick was going to shit his pants

I'm fully in my rights to build the boats as long as I dont start noise B4 7 am or after 5 pm



Cant find my crayons bafoo

Must love you.




Bugger I missed that, last time I was there. I guess he complaint about my little car?



Never came to my house. I guess I live too far away?




Must love you

You guys are just too lol.

Stop teasing me Bees with those little pink bits of yours.
Ang, come on mate I can only live off my fat for a few days.......more pics please .

Jedi stop me , it takes alot of practice to end up with my physic. Bees, you supply the glo stics and ILL throw in the body.


Bafoo

I just thought that Pink went well with the wings mate!! My mistake.... I will change the colour for you a.s.a.p.

Marcel, i dont think that you need me to supply the glow sticks... you would have a box of them in a cupboard somewhere.

Yeah well I heard from a GooDarus source that after all the quality time you've been spending @ Oxford St

You're going to name your next boat BRUNO

Look on the bright side Bees ?????

It'll rival Christos's dream boat Big Red

Did take some pics today when I get around to it I'll go outside & get the camera from the car

I can see bafoo getting a or

IMO it it looking great Jumpy. If Bafoo sees this tonight, i think he will be poking something into me at soccer tomorrow

1 thing i think needs to happen is grey glass for the windscreen... Trust me on this one, it will look good

So ewe & marcel will be playing

Hide The Sausage

2morro instead of kick the soccer balls

That's a given bud, but i will be giving......... Not receiving

Bees ,

Take it easy mate settle down, ive just had a vesectomy and still abit tender mate

Know that im shooting blanks I will be the one that GIVETH and you can TAKEITH

On a selious note, you guys have satisfied my hunger with the up dated pics.
Looking the goods as always.




Bafoo.

Gotta love the noise abatement you installed for your next door neighbours.

Stick with the clear screen mate, but you already know that and I'm only saying it to help convince Bees.

What were the cockups. curious minds you know?

Bilge pumps, I think I might have to get one depending on how the rules are interpreted, what do you think?
Noticed (I think) you had a manual one installed on the big boat and I was thinking of maybe going the the same way.
Obviously bigger is better but how many GPH do you think is enough?

Did you put any floatation in this one?

PS: It still looks like a centre consol to me, guess we have different ideas on what a centrecab looks like.

Why Fed? They look good

Tinted is harder to see through as soon as they get a bit of salt spray on them.
I fished for a lot of years out of a Quinny with a tinted screen and it was a real pain.

With a 120 Litre tank it should run all day on a 90HP 4 banger, I go from Revesby to the heads and run around the Bay for about 30 Litres with my 90HP old tech 2 stroke, that's got to be close to 50 Miles.

Tinted Glass or Perspex Fed? Massive difference...

Had a look at the glass charts, and you have a point. 87% visibilty for clear and 42% for Grey... But Green is at 79% (hardly noticable) Green would look good against white or black

That's perspex Bees but I can't see how it would be any different for glass when considering the same amount of tint.
IE, apples for apples.
I agree the tinted screens look great but it comes at a vision cost.

I'm afraid Fed is correct Bees

Tinted is out of the Q

Hard enough seeing through clear glass @ night let alone tinted

Colour Jump?

Clear

Like Wonder Womans invisible Plane

Dont be afraid Jumpy.. Its only glass

I didn't write my post properly. I asked the question and the jumped onto a glass site i use... Then answered my own question on the Grey.... hence the percentages i typed in...

But, what about green???????

Does Wonder Woman have a Green Plane ???

I'm knackered again

Colour on goat just a thin dust coat on the outer skins inside all done finish it off 2morro

Got some paint on the trailer today as well Tried to upload a photo, but something is wrong... I'm off to a meeting so I'll do it tomorrow

Me Tinks ewe velly Con Fucious yourself ??

Used 2B a trailer till ewe transformed it into a Float for the Up & Coming Mardi

Must be all that quality time your spending on Oxford St

Not for noise it's to keep dust & overspray out of next door



Not Telling



Silly not to have them, Im running 1500 Rules in these goaty's dont really like the cheaper pumps they use non tinned wiring & that's where they stuff up



Yep !

Like on the big goaty I went overboard

By law it was not required on the Jumpus GooDarus but is on the smaller goats & has to be stamped on the builders plate

Jumpy made me paint the thing a colour that he found more pleasing to the eye

I still think Mardi-gras pink was a nice touch though

Is it not for the eye of the beholder.

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.

Paul

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

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?

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

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?

Ewe need to get sum of these into ewe Fed



They pack 3 Gorilla's into evlly bottle

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

No worries JG, thoiught you would have it sorted.

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

Looking good on the boat.

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.

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



Nope no tape just a smear of STAG thread sealer



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

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

Paul

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