On my slip I regularly get wind across tide and there's always chop which isn't helped by jet skiers doing doughnuts and then there's the slip itself, the part that is underwater is virtually flat as the harbour isn't very deep, spring tide HW not too bad LW springs are a no no mid tides are doable but you will regularly see me winching my boat on to the trailer at 90 degrees to the slip either because that's what way the tide is running or the wind is blowing and man cannot beat mother nature not even on a good day! In spite of all that I'm 59 and I do it myself most of the time mainly because none of my mates no what they're doing lol, oh I winch on by hand because the slip is shallow and aint no way I'm driving a perfectly good vehicle into salt water I'm not into that so I winch it on and then tow the trailer on to the dry part of the slip and then hook her on to the tow bar, easy peesy!

Back as a kid my dad had a Yalta 189 with a 90hp Yamaha. It had 21 degrees of deadrise but ample width compared to a similar Haines or Seafarer. The hull was double inner and out hull moulding so heavy. It was excellent for its size and dad would run a fine pitch prop if we were going outside or a higher pitch for just general running around.

In the process of of turning a 1996 Bayliner 2655 Ciera to a fishing boat i think it's got 16 degrees of deadrise but it must weigh about 2.5tonnes. Getting the 5.7lt TBI goings been an experience if i had the money I would drop a new MPI 5.7. I had no idea Yalta was still around.

Good to see you out in the water again! Been a while. Mate youre the bar crusher guru so i wanted to ask. Im very close to pulling the trigger on either a 670ht or 730ht. The 730ht is about 30k dearer but the 730ht has a 300hp yamaha and the 670ht has a 200hp yamaha. Im wanting to go offshore solo and sometimes with my misso and 3 kids. Would you pay the extra 30k for a 730ht? Is it worth the extra coin..
@BaitBallin
@BaitBallin Ай бұрын
Yes I would and a 250 works fine on a 730ht. You should also check out the new Yellowfin yf70. Now greatly improved and better layout and options than the 730ht and 6mm hull etc. Barcrusher hasn't done anything for years other than a sticker pack and new colours. They are now a superior boat and I'd have to say the best plate boats in Aus. BC needs to step up their game.

@BaitBallin Yeah I'm hearing you. It's got to be quick and easy to get out on the water, otherwise youll keep on putting it off. 6.5mtrs I think is good alround size. I think that's what I'll end up with. 6.5mtrs won't have the weight capacity to pound through the head on chop like a 6.8 or 720 but they will get you to the shelf in a little longer time frame. Heads up, doing a bit of research, and I'm finding some of these so-called off-Shore vessels have piss-ant under floor fuel capacity There's a couple of nice secondhand Carribean 2300's on boatsales ATM not badly priced👍 The covid tax is coming down slowly.

Thanks for the great no nonsense content. Very informative. Looking at a new Haines Hunter 5.65 offshore for river, bay with family and good weather offshore with mates. Do you rate these Haines Hunter boats and are they truly 5.65metres?! If you store a boat at a pontoon do you think self draining decks are useful in that scenario or you just rely on the bilge pump and regular battery charging?
