Awesome boat ian. Wanna take me for a ride on kwaggas/brandvlei hehe

Bring dirk with aswell ;P

mwahahah

Once again awesome boat

 

[IanBass]

Thanks man, I am going to Theewaters the weedend comming now, then I am going to test here out!

 

Oh yes, speedworm, who are you again???:doh

 

[Speedworm]

Why do you always go to Thees when Kwaggas and Brandvlei is so so so so much better ?

 

[IanBass]

I like Theewaters and its a lot cheeper!

 

[Speedworm]

Ye thats the only flaw about kwaggas. If only there was a place to launch at brandvlei that was cheaper than kwaggas ;/

But the fishing is 100 times better at kwaggas/brandvlei

More and bigger Largies and Smallies

Hey guys, just wanna inform y'all, my baby got here buoyancy certificate and seaworthy certificate, so shes heading to Theewaters the weekend, I really hope the motor runs alright as I have only started her in my drive way with the earmuffs on.

I got two new batteries for my trolling motor so if poop hit the fan, i will still beable to fish

I'm really excited to take her out, it feels like a life time till the weedend, If any of you guys are also heading up this way drop me a PM, then we will fish together, we might be staying over the night, so we will have a braai and a lekker kuier as well.

cheers

Whats happening here, is it just because I'm not here all the time or is there some other more sinister thing going on, I mean all the guys are getting their B-hinds onto some very nice looking rigs, third one I got to see today, and there's talk of a resession Huh? Great looking boat Bud, enjoy!!!

Hey Ian, I would love to know if you supported the nose underneath with anything. I have an old speedboat with a very similar configuration that I would like to do likewise with, but I'm scared of putting a hole through the nose section with my feet...

 

[IanBass]

I did on the one side, but took it out, the nose on these bow(nose)boats should have a piece of wood running vertically down the middle towards the tip, the top (platform) its actually made to beable to walk on because there is a anchor rope mount in the front, it does bend in slighty when you stand on the nose, but when you on the water it almost does nothing, as well as, it might look like only fibre glass on top, actually there is a 5mm plywoood aswell.

good luck
