Danny no fish

Hi Davo,your very question reminds me very much of my own a couple of months back,which youll be able to find on fishraider as well. I to like yourself had many questions,although i bought first without being on one and then test rode later after i purchased,big risk but i had attitude if i not satisfied il resell.. Well i am very pleased to say i will NOT be reselling.. Couldnt be happier with this outfit. I bought the 5.2 with 115 Yammy four stroke,one owner with 300hrs.. Geoff who has responded to your post is a wealth of knowledge so keep in touch with him regarding any concerns you may have as he def helped me. I live in Narooma with a bar to cross which is not for everybody but this boat has me ticking all boxes. I noted my very first run up Nelligan in silk smooth water was a real disapointment but give this boat chop and rough water and it really comes to life. The 115 has more than enough grunt which was a concern at first until ive had it out in blue water and bar to cross,does it with ease. All in all from me. Good luck buddy..

Hi buddy i live in Narooma and at this stage out wide is proving fruitless,comp over weekend wasnt anything to get to excited about fish wise,but in saying this any day now things can change,fingers crossed...

Interesting that. My blinkers do something similar,they work then they dont then they work then they dont then they work,dont,work,dont,work,dont!!

I owned a stessl 5.2mtr cuddy cab which was built back in the 80's immaculate cond and to this day this boat is still around fishing out of Narooma,this is and was one hull that Stessl got right,unfortunately im with you when it came to there tri hulls,was tempted to buy a 6mtr some years back until i rode in it,would of rathered my 4mtr breezabout..As for your plate boat,dont be fooled,theres good and bad in every breed and make of boat,being centre console id imagine your ride in that Formosa would and should be pretty smooth sailing? When you mix water and boats they are all wet within reason,hence why i like my cuddy cabs with clears all round. As for E Tecs have skied behind them and fished from them all with ease,great on fuel,would not hesitate if i one day wanted to repower my cat an E Tec would get a serious look in,in saying this im sure there are guys who would not ever own one,at end of day ive never had a bad experience so they get thumbs from me...

Juggs like you ive always wanted to own my own,have seen them over the years and spoken to guys who own them,and they were all satisfied with outfits (in saying this very rarely does someone be to critical of there own boat). I dont see to many come on second hand market so when i came across this one i jumped at opurtunity,an old saying is curiosity killed the cat and as i never put boat in water before i purchased,as i bought from sydney and driving up from the coast i couldnt wait to get out of the place,will def keep you informed as to rating and thoughts on this outfit Juggs as i not one to give something a wrap if it doesnt deserve so... Cheers mate ive accepted your friend request,your my first mate on raider

Gday Juggs,ok i get the impression your def anti webster,seems to me you either love them or you hate them is impression i getting. I have taken possesion of my outfit and time will tell whether its up to the tasks i have in mind,thanks buddy..

Gday Geoff not sure if previous msg came through. But if you got time for a quick chat on your through let me know champ,will have kettle on the boil as i ten min before you hit maccas...

Hi Geoff youll be pleased to know ive taken ownership of this boat,picked up sat and spent all weekend in my new toy,much to Tanyas delight i stayed out of her way ha ha... Ok buddy i spent all weekend modifying and changing things to suit individual needs,as you mentioned none of these are major but like you by seems of things i want things done right and perfect,and basically user friendly.. Very impressed with boats handling and ride. 10/10 from me...

Geoff your a wealth of knowledge and i takin it all on board thanks mate.. Yes Independant outboards in Blacktown was where boat was purchased in 2003 as well Geoff. I only removed stickers today as looked worn and tired (sorry guys).. Bentstick has got in touch and if you read this post silvo,i apoligise about blank emails as bloody hopeless when comes to forwarding photos on. I cant get pics on fishraider either..Once again Geoff your advice is much appriciated and hopefully will get a pic up of the webster asap for you guys to see. I proud of way she looks and if they handle as well as it looks il be one very happy man.

Gday njconst,wow mate not what i wanted to hear but just the same disapointing so much went wrong with your mates rig. What year model was his? And what was it mainly used for? Thanks buddy for getting in touch,just a bugger about the thumbs post..

Hi nath thanks for your reply,lucky for me boat has clears and side curtains which by sounds of things i def going to need. As for pulling skiier def not from this tub buddy,will only be used as a fishing and diving rig,lucky for me mates own a ski baot .

Hi Geoff your a legend thanks very much champ,will def get in touch with Benttick.. Ive actually laid a deposit down on this outfit Geoff,Ive owned many an outfit ,so am very excited to be hopping in to something different as mine have all been monohulls Geoff. Def is a permatrim fitted to rear Geoff,boat was intially bought back in 2003 one owner from a mob in blacktown..Fuel tank being at rear,plus duel batteries,live bait tank as well,i def need to keep weight if i repower to a minimum. I very rarely see these outfits come on second hand market so i cant let this one slip by as waited to long to get this one..I rarely here negative feedback regarding the websters so i very excited to sort out couple of minor teething problems and get this outfit ready for the tuna season.. Thanks again buddy...
