Cheers mate, we appreciate that!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah the is a definite American flavour to the design/-we love it! And yup boats just cost that these days! Much better than our Aussie cousins! We cannot believe a boat would go to market like that….

Cool story- you should tell that at parties.

Yes- as someone who has run out of fuel, carrying extra is always the best solution.

Thanks mate- any beer is good beer in my book! Yeah I have looked into that truck wash. All of those boat washes are too expensive for what they are and after looking online that truck wash seems to be the best value product. I will start using that and report back.

Yes… we need boats sent to us for the whole summer to properly review! 😂

Thanks for the comment! If you watch my Rayglass restoration video you will see how a good cut and polish changed my boat! I would love pit sea deck on! That’s my next job I think!

Lol

Hahaha… no one wants one of themz…

Great question! Haha mate if you have listened to more than about 5 minutes of the podcast you will know we are in no position offer sound advice!! I have always dropped it and backed on it to set it. Do you mind of I share this to Instagram and we will see what the audience says? Might produce some good ideas!!

@@unableseamen3046Good idea, would be interesting to see what people say, there might be an automatic brake or lock on the winch to protect it specifically for this reason but i'm just guessing. Oh come on you guys are not that bad, Christian's taste in boats aside anyway. Be proud, NZ's premier and only boating podcast 😀

Thanks for the nice words mate! Where are you based? Maybe Christian and I need to come and give Extreme another chance!

@@unableseamen3046 Nelson, you would be more than welcome.

Yeah that’s a good shout for and engine and boat pairing! I wonder if they even offer that? I know Rayglass will soon. Yeah sad if you are selling- great if you are buying! What did you get?

@@unableseamen3046 2015 Extreme 795 Game King w/ Yamaha 350hp v8 440 hours, one owner, full service history from new, nicely spec'd (Fridge, 16" Garmin, 1kw, fresh water sink, holt/cold fresh water shower, flushing toilet etc etc

@@unableseamen3046 2015 Extreme 795 GK w/ Yammy 350hp v8 outboard 440 hours, 1 owner from new, full service history, nicely spec'd, 16" Garmin, 1kw, fridge, toilet, hot water shower etc

Sounds like bit of a weapon! And great that you got a good deal. If you have listened to our older episodes you will see we have mixed feelings about Extreme boat- love the look and toys on them- luke warm about the ride and paint quality. Happy to have our minds changed though!

@@unableseamen3046 Yes, i had listened to that episode, I had a 745 GK which i sold aprox 2 years back. I came from a McLay 671 and the Extreme's ride was a million times better but i havent been out on every boat out there either, some fibreglass like Steadcraft, Haines, and alloy, a stabi (back breaking!) and a couple of surtees, which both impressed for their size. The paint is an issue, i had to get a couple of patches resprayed before i sold mine at 5 years old and this one will need a couple of patches doing at some point, really not good enough i agree. I found the handling to be safe and predictable, especially in a following sea, handles like its on rails but it is a little hard on the chine in a head sea. I have been out in some big seas around D'urville, Cook straight and i always felt safe. This one is 2.8m beam compared to 2.5 of the 745, so i expect it to feel even safer and more stable.

Hey mate, recorded it the other night- hoping to upload and edit this weekend!

You won't believe it but Christian phoned me yesterday and we were talking about what boat we would whack the new Mercedes V10 on and we both agreed that Machina would be the one!! Maybe we will talk about it on the next episode! How did you come across the podcast?

@@unableseamen3046 It came up as a suggested video after watching the Surtees 800 onboard owners review.

Hey mate thanks for the comment.. very insightful! Very interesting what you say about build quality as that has been their selling point- without that I think they are in trouble. Not sure if they don’t have the $$ for R&D but they need a big refresh soon or the competition will eat them up. I don’t think adding wheels to one model was the answer ( see our latest episode). Thanks for listening!

@@unableseamen3046 Agreed, i visited the factory when up for the boat show, they basically told me they would do whatever i need to get me into a Haines, they came accross almost desperate. They told me they dont have a single build currently in progress and if i ordered could deliver in 3 months. I have had a couple of new boats built, this is unheard of.

Yeah that’s what we were guessing depending on engines and options…. Boats are expensive these days. I think that is a lot of boat we only questioned if you are better off getting a 2800 as they are so similar.

@@unableseamen3046The new 2500 (yet to be announced), which is based on the 3000 is the most interesting to me. It will accomodate Seakeeper Gyro and Seakeeper Ride, will come in under 3,500kg full of fuel etc but its still going to be $300 - 350k, so my purchasing strategy is highly dependant on the lottery 😀. If i were in the market for an over 3.5t trailer boat like the 3000, i would rather have the Veitch 27 for around the same money, that thing is a serious weapon.

Hahahah Becky took great delight in reading that comment!!

Thanks for the comment! Yeah if you are going to make a new model…. Why not make it different? Might as well buy a 2800!

Hey thanks for listening! Head over to our instagram @unablesemen that’s where we put up the photos of the boats we are talking about. As this is a re release ( our very first episode in fact) then you will need to go to the first post way back. Hope you are enjoying the content!

Hey thanks for the comment! Yup they are great people- can’t wait to hit the water with them.

Nice pilot house cabjn cruser

Thanks for the advice! We will try it, so much fun though!

What king of size of king fish in the entrance? I never fish the entrance, always drive pass😂

Was so much fun! Love it out there!

Appreciate it!!

Hahah!! Will try!

Thanks 👍

Hey mate thanks for the comment. Yeah this is an only video on an old go pro when we were just learning- I think we are getting better… check out our new stuff and see!!

Thanks for the comment! I’m certainly no expert but I am having fun learning!!

Hahaha glad you enjoyed it! Yeah bro drove them out is the way I think!! So much fun! How’s the barrier?

Yeah mate, not a statistic I want associated with my name!

Yeah it was hard making you look good bro you have a face for radio…..

Thanks mate! Loved making it.

Thanks for the comment! We absolutely loved this trip! The mustang definitely added to it- the roads were incredible. Just check the road is open all the way otherwise you may need to do the diversion that we had to do which added half a day. Parking was easy to find but not all that cheap- my advice is when booking accommodation make sure there is parking with it. San Fran we basically just parked the car at the hotel and rode the tram everywhere.

Thanks for the reply and info! @@unableseamen3046

Bay of Islands….

Good tip!

Hi, not sure what you mean?

Great boats! Now riders are cool But I am glad we had the cabin for overnight missions!

​@unableseamen3046 they really were great boats. They certainly weren't given the credit they deserved in my opinion. The shape of the hull allowed them to cut through the waves and corner really well. The hulls were tough too. They could take a beating. I remember the seats were the first thing to break down but the 85 Force outboard ran well and was powerful for the 16ft vessel it was pushing. We did water skiing, tubing, and fishing with it. Awesome memories.

Hey mate thanks for the comment, glad you are enjoying it! Yeah I just have zero faith after that situation, and I am reluctant to go down that road again… maybe if I was given some to try but I doubt I’d go purchase them after that! Just easier to tie them on and know it’s good!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah mate not ideal, need to find a place that sells decent floats.

Hahaha I knew you would be gutted…. I’m sure you will give me another one- you never put them to good use!

Thanks- we love making it! Uploading a new one tonight.

Thank you 🙌

Did you see my message on the other post you commented on? Keen to get you ok the water with us…. Either on the boat or I can drop you somewhere remote for a land based mission

It really is! Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks for the kind message! We love making it! I don’t have a huge amount of knowledge when it comes to land based spots there, but I think any headland with good current going past will be a good start. There is a mussel farm close to shore a the man of war end of the island which could provide some natural burley. There is heaps of good rocky outcrops on the northern side as well that would definitely hold fish!

Hey mate just watched some of your videos- good stuff! If you wanna get off the wharf and on a boat then come out with us! Find us on Instagram @unableseamen and direct message us.

Hi there, you can google all the specs and download the original brochure from the Bayliner website 😉. My one was repowered and was rebuilt by me so may have been heavier…..

Hahah yup warming the planet up one fishing trip at at time ! 😂. Thanks for watching and the support. Please share and like and you are enjoying it! We love making it!

Hi there, yup it sure was. Yeah it feels wrong alright! Did you see the drone footage? It shows the channel and the rocks really well. Hope you enjoyed the video

Just checked out your channel, nice 851! I used to make them... See you out on the water.

Thanks for the comment! We are really trying to make good content so appreciate the listen! We love Tristram one of the best manufacturers in NZ!

Hey thanks for your comment! We love Huntsman boats on this podcast! Great buy and hope you are enjoying it!! We have a review video on a Huntsman Centurion coming soon!
