  1. I`ve been out enjoying th weather and our boat you idiot. Thats what life is all about, not being internet sluts like you lot are
  2. You are a dicksmoker of the first order joey. Bag the shit out of volunteers when the greatest nation on the planet`s full time navy cant even keep a watch . . . you arrogent wankers http://gcaptain.com/guardian-fully-bricked-battered/
  3. yet another yank mouthing off about stuff he knows shit about, , you know nothing about the incident Joe so I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself
  4. A couple of pics from easter weekend at a little island about 40 miles from home. Two couples on a 24c/c for three days, eat sleep and drink on the boat, dont get off except to swim,dive and have a walk on the sand .Really good diving and fishing and just an all round lovely place to be. Saw 4 other boats in 3 days.
  5. Here in West Aussie there is a mix of roughly half and half ally and glass. Lots of ally in smaller dingies and runabouts and more glass in the bigger offshore rigs. Generally the only way to get a good ride in ally is with a deeper vee, then the thing gets too tippy at rest. A couple of ways to fix this is to build a deep vee hulled RIB like the AMF jet boats( I`ve been in a 40 footer with trip 300`s in 45knots plus weather on the south coast of Tasmania and it was very very nice) or borrow an idea from the Kiwis and put a flooding chamber in the keel. http://www.surtees.co.nz/boats/7-3-gamefishersportfisher.aspx . Pretty much the concensus here is glass is more comfortable, better ride, looks better etc where ally can get beaten up a bit, until a weld splits ( it has happened here and people have drowned) or someone loses a hook/swivel etc into the hull and electrolisis eats a hole in the boat. All my boats have been glass apart from 14 foot tiller steered dingies. We`ve got a 24 foot glass c/c at the moment and are looking at buying a dingy for launching over rocky beaches into shallow dirty water soon. Some places you just cant take a glass boat.
  6. The transom of our PMY 25. A formula hull now being built in Western Australia.
  7. A couple of West Australian Dhufish caught about 7 miles from home. These ones are around 25 pounds, the biggest we have caught is just on 50 pounds. The west coast of WA is the only place in the world they are found.
  8. Our new toy. . . we picked her up on December 20 . The hull is a copy of the old Formula 233 and was built for us in Henderson, just south of Perth in West Australia. The weather here is usually 15 to 20 knots easterly(offshore) in the mornings and a south westerly to 25 knots in the arvos with the occasional lovely day like christmas day in the pic so a soft riding fast hull is just what we need.
