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!
Good tip on the driving forward when retrieving anchor. Whats your thoughts on setting the anchor? I've always thought its problematic for the same reasons (load on the winch) particularly with a drum winch.
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 😀
400hp v10 on the Tristram 821. You are right about the boat market being dead, I just upgraded to a boat i wasnt looking for or even considering just because it was a steal. If you need to sell, you just about have to give it away.
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?

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.
Personally the best thing to make an old gelcoat boat look good would be a dam good cut and polish then the seadeck

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.
