@@Saltfix yes, the sun can heat it up and reactivate the glue. That’s why it’s important to make sure the surface is extremely clean before laying it down, especially on the edges. I run around the edges with a thin bead of sikaflex to help prevent this and to stop water getting under it. Most of the pros do that during installation.
so many cost effective little upgrades that all help 👍🏻🎣 also after spending many hours on your boat I won’t be owning another boat with out the boomer anchor that things almost magic 🎣👍🏻✅
i like the extra bracket you have add, you gave me an idea to increase the length of the hull, is worth it did you see a different with riding the waves became smoother?
Tilted my transducer down like you but the bloody Caribbean reef runner is notoriously hard to get a clear reed at speed, even when doing this! See you at the boat show again early Friday like last year?
Awesome info and ideas mate. Cheers. Recently moved to the West and heading to the boat show Friday. Been looking at Top Enders as I want to flick the fly a fair bit.. even for small stuff. Don't anticipate heading too far offshore (getting a bit long in the tooth for bouncing around for hours on big trips) or going out when it's too rough. I'm just a bit unsure whether the open boat style will work as opposed to a cuddy style... the water here seems to be lumpy quite often. Any thoughts or experience in an open style over here? Cheers 🍻
@@outdooraussie6355 Gday mate. Depends on where in the west,? If around Perth it’s more often windy than not and for me I want some protection .but. Fly fishing is tough with any super structure . I’d say have a good look around at the show. Talk to people, get a feel for what you think you need before spending. I’ll be at the show Friday at the Hitech marine stand , come say Gday 👍
@@Saltfix Thanks Scott. Will do. I'm about 2 minutes from where you were fishing with your Kiwi Rush-Gang mate on the rocks the other day... so more often than not would be launching and fishing around there... 😁🎣
Love your videos Scott. Random question, I'm about to throw up a shed, want plenty of room for my boat, out of curiosity what's the size of your shed? Cheers mate
@@mattharvey5392 Gday mate mine is 18x9 but had to pay extra to get the roof raised so I could run a 3.6m roller door. Boat wouldn’t fit in the 3m doors and I didn’t want sliding as you can’t seal the bottom
Um just ssome cheap LED ones I got from ebay. wasnt sure if it was going to be what I needed so got cheap ones, turns out they work well and have lasted a few years too. can get marine ones from Narva im pretty sure
Maybe try adding a y-splitter (connector) to the deckwash /live tank setup. Get one that has a flow regulator tap on each side, then you don’t have to disconnect or reconnect anything, just turn a little lever. You could actually run both parts at once, you’d just have lower pressure. Depending on the quality you want, they’re only $5-$30. 👍
I found a boomer diving, cleaned it up and sold it for $400 LOL. I think they are great. But i dont want a breakaway anchor while diving so i use a Sarca.
Out of interest with the one you found what let go? was it a shakle or broken rope. ive had mine four years and it always comes back even in gnarly terrain.

Some great tips mate. I love the live well idea. And your shed is every blokes dream. 🙌
@@EndlessWeekendFishing shed has been a work in progress , did all the earth works retaining myself and also erected the shed.
Almost done ✅
Great vid
You’ve got your boat set up mint
@@LockieFielding-hd1ws always things to add or change
Thanks for the tips, especially the angle transducer tip...I will give it a go !!
@@davidmcelwaine6624 small thing but it worked for me .
Cheers
Great video Scotty before you know it you will be back out doing what you luv most.😊
@@vanessaking3584 thank you.
Yes as soon as a window appears I’ll be out there
Great simple ideas ✔️
@@rastus555 thanks mate
I’ve had that decking material on my boat floor for years. It will last forever!
@@officialWWM I’ve seen the cheap stuff peeling left in the sun but I think mine will be ok for a few years

Yeah the Boomer is pretty sweet
Great tips. Now I just need a bigger boat to implement them😉
You can do it!

@@Deepblue896 making the hull longer will make your boat plane better and longer means less affected by chop .
@@Saltfix that was a great idea you made my day thanks:)
@@Deepblue896 no probs mate.
Enjoy your day
Any chance you have a link to which rubber gunnel matting you used? There’s so many on eBay lol
@@joshuarowe3646 I’ll have a look but it’s all the same stuff .

Yeah I though about that, Live bait tank dosent need much pressure at all.
