@@Fanta-SeaFishing 🤫 Only my wife knows. 😂

@@WildHuntFishing haha rogee

@@nicholasbellace my mfd told me to update, you could always check your version and the check online if you have the latest version

Could use JB Weld. I fixed a leaky garbage disposal ~3 years ago with JB Weld and it's still holding.

@@DryUrEyesM8 Hey mate thanks for commenting! I was wondering if you weld the shaft where it's worn do Think you cut the groove with a hacksaw for the e clip?

@@DryUrEyesM8 That stuff is tough I would be interested to see it holds up! I had another idea to cut the groove deeper and run a smaller e clip ? Seems like soft material for stainless to wear like that must have a fair amount of pressure on it.

Wouldn't be fun to get that off if you break an axle.

@@MiGG_Aus Sound's heavy duty 👍

@@HelenKellerDenier I reckon, hopefully won't happen.

@@WildHuntFishing It's really not..

@@bobbuilder5362 Mate that really resonates with me I'm glad I'm not the only one out there! Thanks for commenting!

@@Sean2j Thanks 👍

Thanks Mate!

@@peter112999 Good to hear mate I'll be interested see what it looks like inside. Thank for the comment.

@@Tidelines22 Oh shit, Thanks man👍

I didn't have it up mate just heading into the morning sun.

100% thank you

Yes & No. Worked for 1 trip and got bitten off the next trip.

Thanks buddy, I didn't realise till I watched the footage, got a few problems to iron out. That's the fun in learning. Thanks for the feedback

Hit the nail on the head.

No worries, yes also sika on the backing plates.

I used a rattle gun and some penetrant. That's sound like hard work buddy.

Who tf welded them on

I'm hearing you on that mate, I'm looking at changing to dura hubs after the next bearing change out also.

Yes mate still going

I can confirm hd works way better on galv trailers! Steel seal was a waste of time.

@@WildHuntFishing Does the H/duty version take at least a few days to get even partially dry ???. The rep said it takes a while to get to 80-90% dry He said thats why for 4wd he recommends the SS product because it dries fully . . Q/ is the Steel Steal alot thinner vs HD ????

Hd is thicker with a slight yellow tinge, takes about a week to dry but still remains tacky. Bull dust and the like will stick to it and after a while it will be dry to the touch. If it's on a galv trailer it will look dull, but as soon as you clean it off it looks brand new. Ss Is thinner and a brown colour, dries in about a day and remains slightly tacky. After a week dry to the touch and leaves the galv slight yellow/brown. I use car wash and salt wash on the boat and the ss wore off easier and I had to keep reapplying used 5L in a year touching up where it came off. I have had a hd 5l drum for 2 years now just touching up with half left

For a 4wd as I've done my own is to spray on the hd and just drive bitumen roads for a week and then after the week drive down a dirt track and then you will have only a coat of fine dust stuck underneath. You will be right to hit the Beach after that. You don't want to spray it on and hit the beach immediately or you will have salty sand stuck underneath if that makes sense.

Other valuable info from rep was the SS version wicks between panel overlap and stands to reason its thinner . Disappointed it comes off easier just with hose pressure . Gal dip finish after 12mths most paints/ lanotec should stick to it . Lanotec is a reapply product . Even the USA branded products are difficult to acquire and HUGE dollars ,not much choice in ozzy . ---My own cars are early Ranger with very very thin underbody paint . Ford do crappy paint jobs ,,well known with the F trucks . I repainted front apron panel at 70,oookm and various underbody parts powder coated . The chassis has transparent paint ---The later Toyota is far better from the factory Both need doing

Good to know, do you have a product you recommend?

@@WildHuntFishing I honestly make my own. You can buy the ones at Cabela's or marine stores they work fine too. They require a plate be mounted to trailer or some an existing roller. Either one make sure to tie both ends with bungee cord I have had one come off too, because boat strap broke and boat shifted hitting a bump

I'm hearing you on that one buddy. 😂

I had a Anderson connection on my boat so I could connect direct. If I go on another boat I can use the alligator clip connection.

I've gone away from this now using solar connectors as their waterproof.

170L

44.9 Gallons

Thanks does it perform in the ocean. I’m looking at them as a Pacific Ocean boat.

Yes it performs well.

thanks not many Stabis in California @@WildHuntFishing

About 100k aud

I'm in the pilbara aswell so you need good shade

oceansouth.com.au/product/t-top-extender/

Yeah mate I thought so too.

Thank you

No worries buddy , if you don't mind me asking what's the rough price on the bar crusher?

@@WildHuntFishing 615HT with premium extras, including winch, lights, electronics , 16” Simrad and 1kw transducer, wipers 150hp Yamaha, alloy trailer, esky seats etc, about $130, 000

@@aaronbrooks5618 Sounds good to me. Best of luck.

@@aaronbrooks5618Holy Moly!!! I really want to get a 6.5m+ boat, however I just can’t justify the prices. $140K for a 5m dinghy is just ridiculous.

Hey Mate, I'm not sure on that model. There's alot of info on the stabicraft fanpage on Facebook. I did see that the deck can become detached from the stringers and bounce a bit but I'm sure this would be fixed. Cheers

I haven't had a chance yet, been blowing a gale up here at the moment. Will do a video once I get out. Cheers

Finally got her out with the shade & worked awesome doing Max 25 knot in the boat no trouble.

​@WildHuntFishing thanks mate. I'll be ordering one soon.

No problems mate! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I'm glad this helped you on that mate. If you're on Facebook their is a group called stabicraft fanpage and their is alot of info on what people have done to slow the corrosion down. I like the zipwakes most people speak highly off them. I'm still deciding whether to go traditional tabs or zippys as their is quite a cost difference with zippys and traditional tabs are pretty indestructible. Auto tabs would be handy for family and friends that like jumping around for sure. I'm happy to save $1500 to press a button though and spend it on something else too. Cheers for commenting mate and hopefully this helps a few more people.

@@WildHuntFishing thanks mate this is my second stabicraft had a 559 was a great boat no trim tabs required but did find because of the cab you would get a bit of a lean with cross wind not drastic though Could line the anchor well with a deck foam and make up a cage to keep rope off the bottom I give it’s some thought but thanks for the tip would eventually had a hole 🕳️

I'm hearing you on that one mate ! It's a hard one as I've ironed out most of the dramas and getting some good use out of it. Don't want to sell a lemon to some poor soul. The NZ built boats were miles in front price wise in covid times.In terms of prices now for new boats alot higher so I think I grit my teeth until I with the lotto.Thanks for the kind words much appreciated.

I am currently looking at a new Stabi 1550 Fisher…interested in what boats you would suggest are a better option? Cheers

@@paulsloan6184 Hey mate, I couldn't tell you on that size boat. I guess it depends on where you live and what qualities you want in a boat. I wouldn't let this video tarnish your thoughts on this brand. I enjoy my boat but just wanted to highlight the issues I came across. In the future I may look into a glass boat for heading further offshore. Thanks

I agree with you! Some of the responsibility lies with the manufacturers, dealers and other third parties. Some faults are unforeseen and some are from lack of care. There is a lack of a customer service and ownership these days. Great boat and enjoy fishing out of her. Just wish their was less issues left me feeling shitty. Just wanted to shine the light on what you could possibly have to deal with buying a new boat. Cheers for the comment.

@Do-iz6qd My mechanic noticed the engine sounded different to his and decided to open up the oil filter and noticed it was full of metal. Otherwise the motor ran fine and has no complaints. Thanks for the back up with the poor quality much 👍👍
