1 week

!!!!!!!!!! NO RED SHIRTS !!!!!!!!!

Did you get the paint work white or did you go for a colour?
I was going to get mine blue, maybe it will take longer?

I got a white one doesn't show up the scratches as much so no need to wait

!!!!!!!!!! NO RED SHIRTS !!!!!!!!!

six weeks when i got mine but that was around boat show time. so had to expect that.

But thats it, i will get it serviced and other things done else where

Well done on the new boat. Will it be here in time for you to break it in on the North South Comp. 

** Rockingham Offshore Fishing Club **

Just waiting to hear but was told max 3 weeks.
Going to exxy in 6 weeks so hope i get it as i am planning to tow it up and give it a good few fish sessions!
I have put my name down for sor deckie but may end up taking the boat out.
Dont really know many places to fish round rocky. May need some help from the more experianced boaties on the site, might tag along with a few guys one day.

This is the worst part now. All signed up and having to wait for the new toy to turn up.

So what model did you end up ordering?

** Rockingham Offshore Fishing Club **

I went for a 540 trailblazer with 75hp 4 stroke, hydraulic sterring, canopy,clears,bait board, live bait tank,kill tank,fully sealed self draining deck etc...
Lots of stuff standard on the trailcraft, great boats.
Went to simo's yesterday to look at his as he has the same model, looked good. cant wait!

So will we see the new traicraft at the comp rodrat

I am not too knowledgable about the fishing grounds around rockingham, so unless i can team up with another boat i may give it a miss.

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long. Did you finalise a name yet?

Not to sure on the whole name thing yet. Boat should be about a week away.

what sort of electrics are you putting in it Re sounder gps

Dont worry about not having spots rodrat, the NoR guys don't have any either.  ;)

dosn't matter it's just a fun day on the water

A fun day and a few prizes thrown in for good measure.  A good sand whiting or flathead can still put you in contentionm, never mind the other species.  Theres the mystery fish prize, random fishwrecked photo prize and a few others still to be confirmed.

Yeah might give it a go, Bill not to sure with the electrics, me good mate fishy fingers is installing it for me. Got a Garmin 450s gps sounder combo.

You should just look for the big bayshore go up and tell him to watch out for the big lump of wood floating in the water and hit mark on the gps at the same time then look for ryan,andy,dalmatinac ect I have a red polycraft and don't catch fish so no point pinging me.

Rodrat i have a 5.8 Trailblazer with a 200 4 stroke on its arse, i beleive you might struggle a bit in rough weather with the 75hp on the back of yours. I would personally be going for at least 115hp 4 stroke. They are a great boat though and you have chosen well.

Regards Boozehag

My brother has a 570 pro-fish (trailcraft)with 115hp 4 stroke and driving that it feels as if the motor is to heavy for the boat. max i would go for would be 90hp but 540 with 75hp would still do around 35 knots witch would be plenty fast enough.

I was going for the 90hp 4 stroke but the rep at the boat place showed me a mercury brochure and the 75 and 90 are the same. both have the same power, only diff is the chip in them and the 90 is $700 more. so i went for the 75hp which in the local conditions will be fine.

I have a mate who has a 5.8 0r 9 sportcab trailcraft when he got it it had a 75 merc 2 stroke and was fine now he has a 90 honda and is fine also. Rodrat will have no problems, how often do we get conditions to allow us to do even 30 knots around here let alone 35?

To all the virgins..............Thanks for nothing!

Rodrat have you got a delivery date for your boat yet??

Was told today, but now they asure me next wednesday!!!!
