Also had one of those ARK ducks , absolutely bullet proof and as tough as nails, just a bit small for bigger lakes and estuaries and not much space , but perfect for dams and so on although i know some guys that use them out to sea no problem .. !!!

Those ARK ducks are nice i agree. Me and my son had hours of fishing fun on this duck, and even did a little of watersports as well. Here is my son with his knee board and my daughter with her method of "transport" behind the boat.

We mostly use it as a fishing duck but there must be time for family fun as well.

Hi Guys

New rig pic page to start. I finally could get my rig out of the store and on the beach.

I have used my Cruiser the first time and it is excellent. Guys knowing Ponta that it is always a battle with retrieving your boat from the beach. This Cruiser will pull a poeliesman off a mei.... you know who. I actually pulled the boat over the sand wall with a kinetic strap onto the flat section and then just winched it onto the trailer. 

 I am very happy with my boat. I bought it about three years ago and hve done about 120 hours on it. The two 90 Mercs are excellent on this rig as I use about 40 liters fuel for a 6 hour trolling session. 

Enjoy your boats as I do enjoy mine.
Hey BigVan -  thats the one and only - what a beast!! I've got its little boet - nothing comes close!!

So many bold statements.

Leisure Cats - Australia.
MASSIVE surf off the Australian Coast.
The water police and Sea Rescues TOP craft are cats down under.

Me, I'd Check out a few other cold places around the world too.
Would drop by certain States too
Then...
I'd make comments.

I've run both hulls to make a living from and I know which one I'd give a vote too without thinking twice.
But I only rack up a couple thousand hours at sea a year. I'd rather leave it to the professional fisherman.

As to the drunks who NEVER use Cats anywhere...
In the famous words of Homer Simpson
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

Searched for Cat type rescue boats and found this, the cat is sitting in a boat that rescues cats.

So a Cat rescue boat it is, from Amsterdam, called a POEZENBOOT!! LOL!

Smile Ryan,

IT'S CHRISTMAS!

:clow

I'm smiling, it's hard not to chuckle when you pop into this site for a visit.
I had over a ton of yellowtail up near your neck of the woods recently.
But the fish have buggered off from Stompneus now - pitty it's been good up there and kept a few of the commercials afloat in such tough times.

Well, time to go finish the final touches on that boat that doesn't broach so we can spray on Monday. Almost done on the hard yards, all the nice stuff left now. It will be Christmas big time when she arrives back next week all shiny and new.

Ja Chris.
It's not the 28 I wanted, however it's enough boat to fish the deep and to tow around.
I think in the end I got the perfect boat for the way we fish.

We can put a lot of fish on board and have great fishing space. We are a little squashed in the cabin area but you can't fish in the cabin and when the weather is ugly we can hide knowing that it never rains in the cabin.

The motors should be here next week and then it's just some carpeting and wiring up and hopefully on the water beginning of Jan.
We've had the boat for a month and 3 days, so a complete redeck, foam and build has been a huge push to get to spray stage this year.

Honestly I'm sick of resin fumes and sand paper.

But when I fire up those two new 90 Hondas all that will vanish I'm sure.
I'm still trying to find an old style wooden wheel for my steering. The new ones are way way overpriced. Otherwise...
Vice grip he he.

We got no GPs and finders but we got an awesome Ritchie good charts and a radar so that's all we need.
Will buy a good finder next year after the new back to school financial outlay is done in Jan. That always stings with 3 kids. But we happy to run on a compass for a few months.
It's how we did it years ago and will be good for young Junior Bob to run on the charts and compass and learn the true art of navigating and running a coarse.
