Mick....

Going back and taking a better look ... I am sure my eyes are deceiving me (since I did not see any fish in the boat) but the straps for the aft hatch cover ....... Did you secure the ends of the straps at the water line or below it for the aft hatch cover :?:

This has me confused for the reason why it was done that way ... if you did do it that way and it is just me needing some new glasses. :lol:

Chuck;
I saw and wondered the same thing. But if you look at the picture right above that one...

you can see that the illusion happens on one side only.
My guess is that the stuff hanging down is extra length of strap for tightening. But I am only guessing.

In the picture the way the straps are hugging the side of the boat , it looked like they were attached and had tension on them.

Yep ... I need new glasses. :roll:

Hi Chuck,

Oh yeah,

Don't worry about the sounder wires. it was just a temperary install to test for positioning. Will be routing them properly today. :D

Mick,
who makes those straight vertical "rod holders" you use for the net and gaff? Are they actually called "rod Holders"? I'd like to get some of those but can't seem to find them. Anyone here in the States know where to get them?

G'day Scott,

They are Berkley I think. Just about every tackle store out here has em. About AUD$7.00 each.

Mick

TH Marine makes them in 30 degree tilt and flat

I think the flat ones are what you're looking for.

That looks great you have a place for everything, even the chum bucket! Are you shooting through the hull with the depth sounder tranducer? Can you do that in a wood boat?
