Good too see how other 399s are done man. Have to do a boat meet up soon. Ally decks are my next step, now I've done it with ply I know exactly what I need!
Thanks mate!! Definitely keen for a boat meet! Yours is very similar from what I remember I loved it! There a great little boat 👌 but yes I'll send you a dm and let's meet up! Brissy port round two?😉
Great vid mate, I've pretty much done the same to my quinine 3.9 explorer. Paid $3000 for it with an 18hp Tohatsu . Suprisingly gets up on the plain easily with all the extra weight I added to it and gets me to my fishing spots. I opted for the watersnake bow mount as it suited my budget. Had it for 2 years now, use it just about every weekend and never skipped a beat, touch wood. When it dies I'm going for a minn kota with spot lock.
Awesome mate! If you have instagram look me up and send a pic through! I had nothing but bad luck with watersnakes but I know guys that havnt but minnkota are amazing! Thanks for watching 🤙
Mate it's been a fantastic motor! I had a 2009 25hp Merc before and that never let me down either! Such a good solid motor and local to me if anything goes wrong. Thanks for watching legend 🤙
Thanks mate ..really helpful.. my edgetrakker hull,has died and I’m looking to put all my gear onto a 4M hull and think about how I’d like to set it up .. I have 2 seats that I think I’d like to keep .. getting a bit old to just sit on the deck .. I’m local too so really appreciate those contacts / phone numbers.. cheers mate Steve
Hey mate, I just watched the part about your hatch's getting a bit mouldy. If I was you I'd chuck a couple of coats of polyurethane (I really like Cabothane) on then give it a light sanding and paint it black after that. Polyurethane is a really durable finish 🤙
Thanks mate! Ive been wanting to do that for ages! Just need to do it haha she's getting there for a little tinny thanks for watching mate I appreciate it and all the comments helps my channel ❤️🤙
@@sandytrackxfishing2810 i had so many issues with props on my new mercury i had 4different ones till i got onto propellor repairs australia talk to yan a genius and only use oem props as i had 2an aftermarket one and an oem merc same pitch diameter and the oem was far superior its a 60big foot and i run an 11x13and a half in a 4blade as i couldnt go any bigger motor insurance wise i had to go for the prop angle for ocean work and it solved all those issues regards i like your presentation and your boat im a boat enthusiast and builder modifiyer good fishin mate
Great little tinny, I would like to do the exact same to mine regarding the 40 upgrade so it was good to get a bit of an idea of what I need to do.
Thanks mate! Hopefully you got a few ideas! Yeah I love my boat she's almost there! Haha thanks for watching legend 🤙
Nice 👍 some good ideas I’m looking at doing something similar to mine ,so I’ll be coming back to this a fair bit !
Awesome! There always a handy video watching other ideas etc glad you got something out of it 🤙

Great vid, I also own one of these great boats and modified myself
They are the best of both worlds hey v noes to punch through chop and flat bottom stable as and gets through 20cm of water!

Unfortunately there out of business now!
Do you know how much more expensive it is to use EVA FOAM rather than carpet? Cheers

@@sandytrackxfishing2810 all good mate, always good to support Aussie's🤙
Preach 🙏
Hey mate, who did you say did the welding and bracing for the floor and casting deck? Looking at doing a similar setup
Hey mate sorry for the late reply mate it was old mechanic I couldn't tell you haha hope it comes up a treat for you!
Hey man I know you said eBay special but do you remember what live bait tank you went only finding poly tank style tanks cheers
Hey mate that's all I bought was the poly ones I think there the best!
You get a thumbs up just for ditching the watersnake!!
Haha thanks mate! Honestly I've had 3 different watersnakes and they are all absolute garbage!! Seriously throw them in the drink as an anchor!!
A solar panel above the motor on a frame 20watt will do
You need to vent the fuel side of the rear pull out section as electrics and fuel dont mix ...kaboom
Thanks mate noted! Definitely don't want that! Haha 😆
I have just fitted eva foam to my 5.5quintrex and its a fuckig nightmare to fit
😨😨😨😨😨😊😊
Sttick a 4blade prop on it if its a non bigfoot you should look at a1012if its a bigfoot a11.14 much better holding and torque go genuine spitfire x4
Thanks mate!! I'll look into it! Crazy how much props change the performance of the boat hey
