Thanks mate

[@6knots6]

Hey bruz what’s your solar setup like

[@MrGgraham76]

very detailed set-up!! super!

[@Sam-jn5kv]

I'm not sure which I like more, the awesome boat or the way you talk about it. Design and function really made the video stand out. Lots of great ideas for all of us boat owners inspired to upgrade what we have. Much appreciate your authentic talk. BTW, swim step is killer. Great job all around.

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks alot, I’m glad you enjoyed it🙌🍻

[@michaelscala8030]

Great boat and very well made video.

[@sharkyshepo8167]

Awesome video review mate, 👌 beautiful boat mate, I'd seriously live in that

[@thenicksheppard]

That ladder is brilliant!

[@ezytechagelblastersairsoft7272]

Wow awesome chanel guys, absolutely crazy quality videos🙏👍

[@emuisland5821]

Thanks for showing us your new boat. You’ll get credit for many ideas for mine. Have a ball in Exmouth

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Cheers buddy, thanks for watchin, I will have a ball, and hopefully plenty of fish🍻🎣🎣

A beautiful boat

[@pinkyheaven1498]

That is up there with best boat build ever

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

thank alot mate

[@andystewart5864]

Awesome build, just put some longer slides on the 80L fridge so you can open the the lid and it stays put

[@Photographer339]

Great boat mate, hope you get some big fish on board for baptism, best of luck,

[@michaell8532]

Lovely boat, congratulations.... I've recently offloaded a BlackWatch 28 (express) which lived in Wannanup canals, I threw a fair bot of folding at her (ironically, with the intention of keeping her, however received an offer too good to pass up) one of the upgrades was the Zipwape system. Honestly, one of, if not the best $$ I've ever spent on a boat. Changed the whole dynamic of her, whether it was booze cruises or wasting $$ on bait in the attempt of catching something, half edible. (haha) 100% putting a set on the new girl. Congrats again on the new Weapon, love the naming theme!

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks mate 🍻👌

[@barrymurphy3554]

Yes your very experienced And know what you want Fantastic enjoy your hard earned money Cheers

[@rollyb5061]

awesome build, should be a weapon at Exmouth

[@yellowfin524]

Congrats, what a beast. I do agree with Michael L. on the Zipwakes, best money spent on my boat. I have a 6.5m hardtop and it makes me look like I know what I'm doing. Cheers enjoy!

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks mate🍻

[@h.andimasdar1349]

is the best.. my dreaming of the boats

[@gerlanaraujo1527]

Amei essa embarcação, muito espaço bem confortável, um sonho pra ser realizado 🛥️🧭👍👍👍👍👏👏👏🙌🔥⚓😍

[@jeffputman8242]

Fantastic ! , I really love your design especially in the fishing area. Only adds I would have would be a small grilling bar area just a lil larger than yours, A couple of plop down 2/3 man seats on the sides . In the cabin ,That bench seat could hold a bi fold table top on the side of it , you could set on a collapsible center stand that could stab in the floor or be removed....Ohh and a wench bar holder on the side for crabbing and power for that..Move the Radar electronics to the back or roof on its own bar a lil higher . So the front could have a sun roof or fold back cloth roof.. and a toilet . Im sure you have but didnt show .hehehehe . Im gonna fav this vid to save it definitely .

[@jemuelfishing6629]

Nice weapon mate💪💪💪

[@kevinredden]

Love the boat. If paint a clear on the polished aluminum it will last longer and better looking

[@Awroth09]

Soooo good

[@windyboy78]

Would love to see it running and on/off trailer! Sweet vessel mate!

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks mate, more footage coming soon👌

[@dustyfarmer]

Nice tinny. I used a mooring rope with a loop in the end to hook over a long protruding bolt which I put in the front mudguard & tied it off on the rear cleat to doubly secure my Razerline when hauling it up the ramp on the trailer just with the boat latch connected.

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Yeh that’s a wicked idea mate👌 piece of mind anyway🍻

[@yamahagriz8820]

Absolutely stunning… you just made me go from bare aluminum interior on my build to gloss black! Love the headliner as well! Would you still do the gloss headliner again? Any reflection issues on the water? Thanks so much, great build and video.

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks heaps mate, nah not at all, it’s mint, I would do the same in a heartbeat🍻

[@energizing4133]

Awesome boat, love the design & attention to detail. One question I have, now your boat is built, is there anything you wish you had have done or anything you want to change?

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thankyou mate, we are on our first trip away with it, so I will let ya know after we get back, but so far I wouldn’t change a thing👌

[@AaronG-nw4fo]

How is ya BCDC going? I have just built a 8m ally with a Suzi 300 duo prop, the BCDC (25A) is pulling too much charge for the Suzi when running the power assist as well. Have heard that Suzis dont like DcDc chargers afterwards. About to rip out the Redarc BCDC and keep it simple, prob 2 SSB Ultra AGMs

[@cartlox2862]

Last two boats you built were awesome but this boat is on a whole nother level. I would give my left 🥥 to be able to afford any one of the first two im definitely in the wrong job . what is it that you do for a Livin if you don't mind me asking. Ps love your walk through vids

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks alot mate, Im an auto sparky and run my own business!

[@stevepierce3509]

How does it ride in the rough sea ? Have you video of that please mate ?

[@bradwakefield8919]

Absolute beautiful boat ole son, you have certainly done your home work on beauty. I was curious on what type of general fuel burn are you getting with the motor, either the 325 and or 350 ?

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks a lot mate, we are burning 2L/nm at 26kn loaded with the 325, I havnt got the 350 yet, still waiting🤦‍♂️

[@billythegoat69]

Hey mate how do you tow 4.2t with your cruiser? I have asked around and got told that no matter what it wa you can’t upgrade btc

[@michaelchild145]

Hey boys love the build. Where did you get the roof lining from ? Looks the goods over the carpet i was going to use as well !

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks Michael, I got it from south west trailers in Mandurah, it’s composite aluminium paneling, most sheet metal companies should be able to get it for you👌

[@louielopes372]

Bugatti of fishing boats, nice

[@crikeymacca]

Great setup. Just one thing, where do you bleed your fish before putting them on ice?

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

We bleed them straight into out Logix fish bag with the ice slurry👍

[@silvertreesfarm157]

Love it. What brand of rocker switches / what supplier can I get some from please

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks mate, they are Narva switches, you can get them from repco, Napa or even online👌

[@jerryjerry-tz6se]

how much is the build mate ? this is awesome !

[@phill1304]

Amazing set up! The welds though? Who built it?

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Cheers, I mention who built the boat several times in the vid.Not sure what you mean by “The Welds Though”, the welds are fine🤷‍♂️

awesome, total cost ?

[@mattlawrence9383]

Great build - only change is swapping that cheap fuel filter for a Racor ASAP.

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Cheers mate,Yeh never had a problem with this setup tho😎

[@mattlawrence9383]

@@excessivefishingaustralia2849 until you do I guess - that's the challenge. Everything else is quality may as well spend an extra $100 on a quality filter.

[@olivercook8808]

Nah those filters are fine mate - you just a sucker for good advertising

[@nathangiles374]

What is the interior deck size? From helm to bait board and inside gunnel width? Want to build the 7.6m for the lighter weight, already have a y62 and not sure the wife would let me own a ram aswell, but pretty sure I need the space of the 8.2 or 8.5 for the layout I want

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Yeh the extra length definitely help with flexibility when it comes to layout. I will get back to ya with the inside dimensions🍻

[@jemuelfishing6629]

Nice rig mate, how much all in all for that kind of a boat mate?

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

Thanks mate, just north of 200g, depending how much ya do yourself

[@prolinerr1179]

Just out of curiosity what made you go suzuki over a mercury or yamaha??

[@claytonmott2457]

suzuki are cheaper, just as reliable, and have dual props above 325hp models.

[@excessivefishingaustralia2849]

But the main reason is Suzuki are the only manufacturer that offer the 350hp at the moment🍻

[@Maddfisher]

Yea how much ? I want one

[@simonmed6102]

What's the price tag with such setup?

[@olivercook8808]
