@@driftingingilliganexplorin4409 I’m a couple of years behind you before I do my Murray river trip. I am retrofitting a 21 foot pontoon boat into a mini trailerable houseboat. I have just finished the trailer upgrade. We live in WA so we will be travelling across the country hitting waterways on the way. I have mounted 2x110 litre fuel tanks and a 2020 70 hp Suzuki outboard. Look for our post on TH-cam next year as we go through the build. The boat will be called “RIVER RAT”
Hi there, where exactly is Whirlpool Bend? Watching your vids and loving it...spend a lot of time on the Riverland around Katarpko etc but can't find where Whirlpool Bned is? Can you also tell me what make / model your tinnier is? Cheers, Foxy
Hi, I'm away camping for the weekend so don't have my books with me buy I think it was about 30 km above Renmark just past Murtho. Not too sure about the tinnie it was my sons but I but an older style Evenrude 25 on it. Think the shape is called a V nose punt. Thanks for watching 😊
@@driftingingilliganexplorin4409 Wish I was doing what you are best way to see the river did in a house boat for a week years agony fishing and yabbiing how many yabbies did you catch cheers rick
Living my dream you lucky old fella.
Enough of the old 😊
No offence intended. Figure of speech. I’m 63. Battling cancer. I feel old.
@@kennyscott1089 sorry to hear, good luck with everything
All going good I think. I’m gonna be back up the river as soon as I get the ok. Love to catch up with you sometime
@@kennyscott1089 yep that would be great
Looks like a whole lot of fun as you drift on Gilligan
Where did you get your docking ramp.
I would love to get one.
The ramp was from Bunnings hardware store. Thanks for watching.

@@jessephillips6126 haven't got too many secrets, it's all luck 😊
How fast do you travel at, have to be going under 10 kph?
Yes it was against a strong current going up stream so about 8 & about 14 coming back.
You want to sort that steering out. Too much play in the rudder. Shouldn't have to work the wheel that much.
All new steering when I was at Bowhill worked great.
