Hi Chris. In a boat the first thing you need to do is balance the load. You do not want weight up the front. You can tell if you are balanced if the boat sits level, demonstrated by the even and ideally small wave coming out from each side. If you are barging the engine works harder and it is harder to control. Put the heavy things in the middle/rear and put Ange only slightly forward of you the same distance from the centre sitting on the side, holding on. If you crash or stop suddenly she won't go over the front either. 🏴‍☠But hey you survived your first blat in a rib.

When you are pushing your boat out to sea you have to have your paddles out in position so you can paddle out off the breaker zone where the waves break then when you see your out of the danger zone you can start your engine. Cheers, Chris and Ange.

It's the best feeling operating a boat ay opens up a whole new word and adventure 4 ya , keep up right and enjoy 😉

[@davidthornborough3395]

Looks like you will be having some intense fun in the near future guys . Practice makes perfect.Just a tip Chris ,when replacing spark plugs ,even though they are new always check the gap is set to specification . Get yourself a feeler gauge .. As a mechanic of 50 years i have found many plug gaps incorrect from new . Stay safe and enjoy.

wow, the boat will change your lives so much, with access to so many places. you will love it im sure. take care guys and baby, my wife is now at 31 weeks and looks like she just ate a watermelon whole lol. wishing you all the best with boat and baby. love it. Steve & Christine.

Good to see both Captain Ange and Chris getting more confident with HMAS Scully Wag. Take care

The content of your vids is better every time ! Keep having great time !!! Can you put a tent over the boat ?

[@1sheinz]

Lots to learn when trying new things . Try move the trim rod on the bottom of the outboard bracket out one hole, that should got the nose up a bit more at full throttle. Also lower your wheels and trim up the motor when coming to shore well before you get to the breakers, then just throttle straight up on shore and have Ange jump out and control the nose. This way you only need to close the throttle when you run up on the beach rather than reach behind you to pull up the motor. There should be a lever that will let the motor run half way up for shallow water use, use that when you come in and the wheels will hit before the motor. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.

You live and learn folks,good to see all 3 of you back on land safely.

Hi Chris, I cannot believe you tried your new boat out on your maiden voyage up those croc infested waters lined with midge & mozzie riddled mangroves where there is no where to get help if something happened and just to see how fast it would go, a nice fresh water lake would have been the better choice.

[@paultemminghoff6805]

Well done guys first time is always the scariest, I had to laugh Ange looked like a Mexican bandito when she was driving the boat, lol 😊

[@wayne1959]

hey Chris. i know its a bit late but don't stress that prop mate. I wish i could show you some pics of props iv had come in for repair but in comparison yours is like new. Keep it going until you get some creek running time in so it doesn't hurt when you clip a rock bar or three. then you can but a new one or even have that one repaired and reset by any number of places along the qld coast. There is no harm in sitting Ang beside you when running at speed and set your cargo midships and i think the three of you will get way more enjoyment from the experience. You guys did well for your first beach launce, believe me, ive seen salty veterans swamped and hammered in the small shore breaks as that's just about the trickiest place to launce any boat let alone an inflatable..

[@seanyowies8532]

Love the boat “ rockit “

[@andile.ngcobo]

"Make sure you come back in one piece", great advice 😅

[@CallumKreations]

Love the vids mate! Had a Yama CV30! Always run 50:1, 🍻foil won’t do too much, focus on getting the weight and trim right on the motor

[@Juss4Funn]

After trying to launch from the beach head, may need to invest in a bilge pump ? lol. Glad you didnt flip. Take care and look forward to more adventures.

[@davidmilledge221]

[@francoisrossouw1656]
