Robbo 81 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) hey guys. sorry its been so long since my last update. Just took a while to figure out what to do with the dash. So here it is. sorry its a little dirty I got the marine grade alloy from miller (thanx mate) was going to try using other stuff cause I was worried about glare and stuff but I'm pretty sure it'll be ok. If its real bad then I'll have to fix it This is my new removable nav light Edited August 10, 2007 by robo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip_the_fisher Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 my dad and i have been thinking about buying a new swivel seat for our runabout, did u buy it in a single kit? and does it just screw/bolt into the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have just rebolted the pedastal seats in my boat , they were only screwed into the glass floor , which was only mm's thick! We screwed and glued a piece of marine ply to the floor , under the carpet , then screwed the pedastal base to the ply. Solid as a rock , should last the life of the boat!

Robbo 81 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) hey phil,Thanx mate. I bought em from bias boating. I had to buy it all seperately. Pretty sure the seats were $99, they had a few cheaper units there but I wanted the folding ones. the pedastool was $79 I'm pretty sure. They are height adjustable and swivel. and 15 big stainless self tappers. and some sikaflex. I I used self tappers to put them in cause I couldn't get underneath the floor. I got told if you can get to it, use nuts and bolts, but if not self tappers will do. Its got 6 holes in the base so I really can't see it going anywhere.

Robbo 81 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well I decided to go get my license last week and couldn't wait so i took boat out with my brother, humbie, and a friend, later I met up with rmzbeast we launched out at pittwater and had a ball. the boat towed excellent, went in the water very easily and drove beautifully considering the water conditions at hand. the motor is very quiet as I wanted. I was a bit scared driving for the first few hours until my brother and humbie threw me in the deep end to show me the ropes of how to handle and to be safe in a boat. only caught a few fish in the morning and then nothing for the rest of the day. got the boat on the trailer pretty easily end headed home to clean my pride and joy. the only thing that went wrong was the rubber strip around the side of the boat came off when we hit a big wave. scared the shit out of me but they all thought it was pretty funny. so I'll be sorting that out through the week. at the end of the day I was very happy with how it performed and can't wait to get out there again, just not in such choppy conditions.
