Nice video. Can you provide the link for those side Gunnel mounted rod holders? Cameron

Hey mate, We got them from our local boat dealership. I know they are available at some of the boating websites (whitworhs, CH Smith etc). They are about $150 each. I also think reelax make a set

@@theroachlife Thanks mate. I'm currently having a 670C built with the 200HP Zuke, with most of the "fruit". Any tips / recs for having stuff installed, boat covers, handling, etc?

@@Camh1968 congrats mate, they are an amazing boat. Apart from the obvious trim tabs, electric anchor, stainless snapper racks, 1kw transducer, deckwash etc. I would go with the long range fuel tank instead of the kill tank, I’ve found I don’t use ours much, it’s mainly just storage. Depending on your budget, I would go with a large screen or 2 seperate screens as you’ll find you will run all kinds of features as you use the boat and electrics package more. Also get autopilot, it’s the best thing I have ever done for the boat. Get the cabin area carpeted, it reduces the water noise to almost nothing. I’m sure there are other things, but Bar Crusher will know what’s popular too

@@theroachlife Thanks mate. Yes, everything you mentioned are on the list. No kill tank for me. I prefer the long range fuel tank as well. I saw one of other videos with some fuses smoking / burning out whilst underway. Anything that could be improved on there - as far as build and / or parts goes?

[@theroachlife]

@@Camh1968 just one of those things mate. I’ve spoken to auto elecs and they said part of your routine maintenance should be to check the fuses to ensure there is a good connection. Apparently pretty common. Has only ever happened once to me

Classic Barwon heads low

[@theroachlife]

Haha yep. The river has moved abit too which doesn’t help

Everyones done it a few times, did well with that size boat. Seems like it was sandy where you jumped out when I did it I instantly sank up to my knees in mud 😅
