Nice Hammer but why you spending $$$ when you getting a new ride?

Hammer · « **Reply #101 on:** February 06, 2014, 09:23:05 AM »

Howzit Mate, my motors and things are going on the new one. My motors are 2013 and have only done 31 hours. It's crazy the price of motors now days, they went up by 7,5% in Jan.

Howzit bud, that's what I thought. Did you stick with the sailfish?

Yes Bud, I'm getting the Sailfish 176. I spent hours comparing boats and talking to people and decided to go with the 176. A big thing for me is the deck layout. It has built in luna tubes, built in tackle draws, a big space to get to the anchor (not that I use it a lot), high gunnels, built in cooler/bait box and I am putting on bum boxes.
It also has rod boxes in the gunnels, I don't like open holes where you put your rods (Crazy???). Lastly it's new.

Howizit Shaunless, hope you are leaving the woolly bleaters alone down under !

I'll post some pic's tonight.

looks great, is the front support for the T top not right in front of your skippering position ?

Hammer · « **Reply #112 on:** February 07, 2014, 08:36:59 AM »

Thanks Shaun.

Hi Rory, no it's not in the way at all. have a look at this pic, you can see it is on the corner of the windscreen frame.

Thanks Pete, I thought it might tickle your fancy, you know being 64 and all.

Once a Sea Dog, always a dog, Mike. When do you get her (the boat I mean)
