  1. Optimax were are great motor and i believe still are. A lot of the ski boats and race boats like bullets pretty much only run Mercs and most would be the DFI 2 stroke Optimax. Ive had a 115hp and a 150hp Optimax over the years and they were a great motor with no issues at all! I think you may have rung my shop last week and asked about this motor...
  2. pretty popular so i guess so but ive never fished it
  3. i would say stockton beach. See more caught there than at bennets
  4. Mate call Dave from DM Marine on 0410774696. He is in Kirrawee and is very well known in the area as a top notch alloy welder
  5. is there a petition or something we can sign to oppose the change?
  6. yes mate it will work. I used to do it at my parent house on the hackling years ago. I had 2 lights out and it definitely helped!
  7. it will cause interference. Ideally your trolling motor should have its own battery or batteries
  8. Hey Ribs, ive just worked out who you are! Im the guy from the boat ramp with the sling who looked at your sounder the other week ...
  9. Campr if your boat is 5.6m you will definitely need a 24v motor probably 80"lb thrust with a 72" shaft, particularly if fishing offshore..
  10. the Mercury 115hp CT is only 164kgs so even though it has more displacement (2.1L) than the yamaha its still actually lighter!
  11. i would be going a motor guide or minn kota over anything jervis walker
  12. Mate i have a Mercury 115hp PRO XS CT and love it. The Command thrust gearbox allows you to use the full range of the Mercury propellors for motors up to 400hp!
  13. around towra in the bay is very popular but i would be careful putting them in around jibbon. For some reason i still think its illegal
  14. Hi mate, i have a Daiwa Blacklabel V2 baitcaster and it is 1-3kg 6'6 or 6'8 1 piece. Its an awesome rod and probably 6-7 years old now. As others have said most are heavier but you should be able to find a few 2-4kgs around the boating, camping, fishing shops. My daiwa was probably $400 - $500 back then but thats what i had to pay to get a 1-3kg rod
  15. Most 14' runabouts are rated up to a 40hp so you should be fine. Is there a horsepower rating on the boat somewhere?
  16. On another note how does one expect to buy a boat and take it home with you from the show??? Trailer needs to be registered and how would you think you could get your car in to tow it home 🤣🤣🤣
