5.8m Trendsetter and 4.1m Bermuda Tinnie

Thu, 2009-04-02 00:02

This is the big boat i use, its my dads but he doesnt use it anymore as he now works away in the mines, so i use it.
Its a 5.8m ally Trendsetter with 120hp 4 stroke Mariner.We have had it in the family since 1998, but only upgraded to the 4 stroke in 2004. Has served us well in fishing out from Busselton, Perth and Exmouth.

And this is my little cutie. Bermuda 410 Salmon with 40hp 4 stroke Mariner. Bought it up in Darwin as my barra boat in 2003. Had a fair few mods done to it since having it. Extruded side decks, rear ladder and platform, front casting deck and stowage compartment, side storage pockets and a drop down wheel on the trailer for beach launching. Have used it off Darwin, Perth, Busselton and Bremer Bay.

And at the front of it is my Hilux 1994 2.8L diesel 4x4 which i bought at the same time i bought my 410 tinnie. Absolutly love it but lacks a bit of power when towing the big boat, espicially on extended trips (and up hills!). Think i need something with more towing power :)

Going to take out the fwd seat cushions this week and make a removable casting deck to go in up the front. In preperation before we drag this setup to Warroora Station (near Coral bay) in a couple of weeks on a camping / fishing / diving trip.
