CUSTOM ROOFTOP TINNY TOUR- Complete Fit-out for touring Aus! PLUS WE LAND OUR FIRST FISH IN THE BOAT

Travelling Australia meant our love for being out on the water had to be sacrificed, or so we thought! We couldn't leave to travel Australia without a boat there to many coastlines that need to be explored as we make our way around our stunning country!
Our love for fishing saw us finding a way to custom build the racks for our Qunitrex Explorer and fit-out for the entire ute to cater for our weight restrictions. Overall we estimate this entire fitout (including fuel & all the other extra bits for the tinny) has roughly come to 110-120kg.
It easy, lightweight, stylish and one of a kind! Let us know your thoughts and share your must see fishing spots!
Stay tuned right to the end, we christened the Tinny and Cory finally caught one of his top five fish (You can hear his excitement, Hahaha!)
We have tried to cover all the common questions that we have received from both our Facebook and Instagram page for you all, but if we have missed anything please feel free to drop a comment!
Cheers C&C!!

Awesome setup my friends. Greetings from San Diego California .

Thanks Mate has been the best addition to our set up 🙌🏻

Thanks

[@BullysBT]

Great video guys . I’m thinking you need some of my sun / fishing shirts

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Cheers mate! Appreciate you tuning in 🙌🏻 we can’t say no to a fishing shirt, we’d love one, flick us a message 🍻

[@timcroft8633]

Nice job mate

Cheers mate 🍻🍻

[@camo9425]

Sweet Tinnie !! I think I use that flooring in mine. Any issues with it ?

[@brucemackinnon6707]

Try fishing for cold water crocs in the rivers around Goulburn.

[@cncroadtrips6415]

😅😅😅 I reckon we would be a small snack for the crocs in our tinny mate 🤣

[@newport5504]

Sweet setup, cleanest boat rack I’ve seen. What lights are you running on roof rack on the sides they look great new sub

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Cheers for subscribing mate, the boat rack is a C&C exclusive one of a kind 😂 Cory loves fab work & a neat job, we are running the stedi work lights on the awning side & rear, we also have the light bar & spot lights on the front 👌🏻

[@eddieroux8850]

Nice setup! Just a question on the engine size for this tinnie. Specs on the 250 Quintrex Explorer says max hp is 5hp. Did you have an upgrade on the hull to take a 9.9hp engine? Cheers.

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Thanks mate, That’s how it was when we bought it 2nd hand 👍

[@keyansmall1298]

Really like the detail on the seats, are they stickers?

[@cncroadtrips6415]

It’s called EVA Marine flooring, thanks for watching!

[@andrewtoon1954]

Hi love watching your shows. Just question on the flooring couldn't quite get the name of it. if you could reply with the name and where you bought it from please. The outboard is it a short shaft?? Look forward to more adventures in 2022.

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Hey mate cheers for watching! Floor name is Eva Flooring we got it from eBay. Outboard is also a short shaft 👍🏻

[@clintonmorris1945]

How many rolls of the EVA flooring did it take to do what you have done? Also I'm missing you guys on KZbin and plans for some more videos?

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Hey mate we used two rolls for our tinny we bought three incase and to have a spare incase it ever started lifting or it got damaged somehow. We appreciate you checking in! We’re currently on the road in SA so we’ll get a video together as soon as we can, possibly early June🤞🏼we have daily updates on our travels on our Insta and Facebook also 🙌🏻

[@paulholubecki6386]

How do you go with flex between cab body and Ute tub. Looks like a solid mount between the two... Not a good thing long term as you will get cracks

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Hey mate great question, Cory fabricated this with the flex in mind. We have the two brackets mounted to the roof racks on the rear then the front of the boat secured down on the front roof rack. A few years in and we’ve had no cracks or dramas with this we’re quiet happy with it, if we do have any issues Cory can either fabricate something new up or repair it as he’s a boilermaker by trade.

[@dimitrimurraytrout8052]

Sweet setup, mate. How fast does the 250 Explorer go with the 9.9hp? Ta

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Cheers mate, about 23 knots

[@dimitrimurraytrout8052]

@@cncroadtrips6415, thanks for your reply. That is beast mode, 23 knots is about 42kph, awesome little bullet of a tinny

[@chrisreynolds8688]

Hi mate how is your rack holding up with your boat on too please. Have you done much corrugated roads with it on as I’m planning on doing a similar set up. 👍🏼

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Yes we’ve taken the setup to Arnhem Land no issues, we’ve also been through some tough 4x4 tracks to and it’s still solid 👍

[@tdr5944]

Great video mate. How do you find the stability of the tinny when standing up and fishing solo and with another person? Thanks

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Thanks mate, it’s been great they are a solid little boat and very buoyant

[@tdr5944]

@@cncroadtrips6415 good to hear, I just bought one with a Yamaha 5hp. Keep up the good content ✌🏽

[@FirstLightAdv]

Very nice setup. What is that foam thing called again, and where to buy it? Cheers

[@cncroadtrips6415]

It’s called “Eva Marine Flooring” we purchased it through EBay 👌🏻

@@cncroadtrips6415 Thank you!

[@nicoleminney5447]

Hey mate how much does it weigh

[@bradleysimmons470]

Did you fill in the gaps on the floor? Or did you just stick over them?

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Nah just stuck it straight over, still going strong 💪🏼

[@louisestone-weatherly5517]

Hi ya wat did u use as an added adhesive for the eva foam ? :)

[@cncroadtrips6415]

It has a 3m backing so no additional adhesive required

[@louisestone-weatherly5517]

@@cncroadtrips6415 ok and it has remained in place ?

[@cncroadtrips6415]

@@louisestone-weatherly5517 yes hasn’t lifted yet, obviously when putting it down make sure the surface is clean/ day and that there’s no lifted areas 😊

[@newport5504]

Also was going to ask is this boat a 250 explorer

[@cncroadtrips6415]

Yeah it’s a 255 explorer, it’s 2.6m in length a perfect fit for the Dmax 👌🏻

Surely you didn't eat that swamp donkey?

That tinny runs best with a 15 or 18hp
