Congrats on the new tub Mick, such an amazing boat, whoever built it did a stunning job. Love the timber work with the colour up the sides. Looking forward to the future episodes featuring this weapon on the reef 👍

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! It’s finished off real nice that’s for sure! Can’t wait to send it proper in this thing!!

[@Reefari]

Well done, Classic hull!!! Looks great and some top time with the kids!!! Cheers Greg

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!!

[@niloc7678]

Congratulations Mick, you’ve definitely earned it. Look forward to seeing it in person soon!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thank you 🙏🏼 next time you’re up let’s hope for good weather!!

[@cballz]

You have me thinking about what I could get with my house deposit!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Hahaha the housing market is up to sht so send it on a boat 😅😂😂

[@bubbleobill267]

Noice boat. You’ll love the Verados. I’ve got a pair of 175’s on my Sharkcat, she chews a wee bit more juice than you are!.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate! Yeah I haven’t had much to do with mercs so it’ll be interesting

[@murrayprosser5082]

very nice unit Mick, you have scored enjoy it mate. You will love the electric

[@Micksgonefishing]

Absolutely! Thanks mate!!

[@Hugo-bx3qc]

how good!!!! that'll be awesome for big runs out wide, what a weapon! cant wait to see ya come flying past me 😂😂

[@Micksgonefishing]

Hahaha yeah that’s the plan! If I see ya I’ll throw the hammers down 😎😂✌🏻

[@Andysfishing]

Nice boat Mick, that will feel great.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Cheers Andy!

[@Antipodean33]

There's one of these near why i live in South Oz and if I remember right they're asking over $30K and i think it's up around 35K. I'll check and get the details, I think it's got an inboard though. Yeah like you it's a boat i'd love to own, a few mods I'd do and it would be a savage weapon to blast out far off the South Oz coast line chasing those huge Bluefin Tunas. Top boat champ, well done you've got a boat of a life time

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! Definitely a weapon, just send it! You won’t regret 😅👌🏻😂

[@andrewobma9322]

Hey Mick was awesome meeting you on Wednesday seeing the new boat first hand looking forward to seeing more videos of the new boat and fishing adventures.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate!! Just need the weather now!!

[@andrewobma9322]

No problemo mate looking like we got 20 nots winds right threw to next week hopefully weather for the creeks

[@HighTowerAU]

Incredible to be able to secure it! Worst feeling ever when you know a perfect boat for you is going to vanish out of your life for good, sometimes you just gotta make the big calls to step an secure it. Doesnt look like you will regret this one bit . Keeping the boys off the trim tabs might be the challenge. But credit to previous owner, that thing is not just a weapon, its a beautiful weapon. So good to see it stayed in your circle.

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah I knew about it 2 weeks before it hit the market and I had a 6 week mission getting the funds sorted… all worth it now though!!

[@BunyipFishing]

What a weapon mate!! looking forward to the next adventures!

[@Micksgonefishing]

You and me both brother 👌🏻

[@grpaxto]

Good on ya mate. Make some memories, kids grow up fast

[@Micksgonefishing]

Absolutely! Thanks mate 🍻

[@soobz]

Stunning boat, love wood on boats, adds a lot of class.

[@Micksgonefishing]

I agree mate! I wasn’t sold on the colour but the teak interior sets it off!

[@chrisdoran7596]

Congrats on the purchase of the Haines Hunter. Will give you a softer ride through the chop and plenty of horses to get you far and wide.

[@Micksgonefishing]

That's the plan!!!

[@tps.fishing]

congrats, the boat looks mintttttt!! no pun intended haha I hope to buy my first ever boat one day, will have to start with a tinny

[@Micksgonefishing]

You can do it mate, I saw a Facebook memory the other day from 6 years ago, I had just lost everything in a divorce and I mean everything (except my fishing gear and camera gear), I’d got my tax back and bought a 5k tinny. I’ve put a lot into growing my business since then and look where I got in 6 years 💪🏻

[@tps.fishing]

@@Micksgonefishing that’s awesome Mick, one day haha one day 👍🤙

Epic boat mate, well done. Would love to see a waist high bow rail on a boat like that turning the whole front deck into a GT popping casting deck slash fighting cage. Would look a bit different but very practical

[@Micksgonefishing]

Yeah I’ll have a crack up there but I’m hearing you, it’ll be fun swinging off pe 8 on the nose there 😅

Thanks MadDog 🍻

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Hey Mick, what are the biggest improvements you you got by adding the fast tails on your boats? Looking at one for my 5.5 plate CC to trim the bow down in a head sea. Congrats on the 233.

[@Micksgonefishing]

They get you up out of the hole alot quicker and lift the ass end, also the big plate on the back accentuates the trim so it’s a lot more responsive. I notice it a lot more in the tinny but it also stops the nose plowing back down in the chop 👌🏻

[@darrencookfishing7961]

Awesome cheers Mick, I actually ordered on this morning so looking forward to the install and test@@Micksgonefishing

[@Jhwright07]

Sweet rig!!! The lines of that hard top are beautiful. Had to subscribe. I sold my Albemarle 24 hull similar to the Formula 233 and picked up an Alb 27 hull that I'm converting to outboard. This video just inspired me to finish the build!!!

[@Micksgonefishing]

Awesome! Thank you for the sub too ✌🏻good luck with the project 👌🏻

[@crashalexander7232]

Motors look a bit low maybe try working your way up 1 in then 1/4 at a time and try merc Rev 4 props ....a pair of props that will change your life i swear on it. proper wave smasher cheers....

[@Micksgonefishing]

It goes pretty well as it is, the motors are on jack plates and it seems to be done right. I’m hitting 45 knots at 5850rpm and if I trim out more than 3 bars I’m getting cavitation… I’d be interested to try those props but it’d be an expensive trial if I don’t like it 😅 do you have a similar setup?

[@crashalexander7232]

@@Micksgonefishing I have installed these props on many different applications and they always outperform the current setup ... they have vicious bite and allow higher engine mounting higher thrust line and less drag. higher thrust line helps push the nose over faster less transom dive on takeoff for better hole shot and the props engineered ventilation allow faster spool of engine to get you up and moving and the 4 blades allow slower speeds without losing plane. so many pros and the only con is you don't have them...lol no merc is not paying me but they should....lol be sure the plastic rings behind the props is not worn out that will cause easy EXHAUST VENTILATION just as you described...CHEERS.

@@Micksgonefishing a bloke by the name off Gerry Haber had the boat im thiking of,It was orange in colour ,he would take it out for rescue missions when it was too rough for the marine rescue boat, very seaworty in extream weather,good luck with your reaserch you definitly have a gem of a boat, cheers.

[@anthonyscocca7205]

Nice rig. Love that hardtop frame. Im looking at a Re power now and was thinking twin 150 merc or 200 merc. Do you know what your loaded hull weight is? Thanks Anthony

[@Micksgonefishing]

Thanks mate! Yeah I love the hardtop!! Not sure on the loaded weight but it’d be up there on the heavy side. The 150s push it well but I think the 200s would hold a cruise speed close to 30 knots which is where the hull really starts to perform. With the 150s 25-27 knots is my best economy but the hull comes into its own at 30 knots…

[@anthonyscocca7205]

Thanks mate. my twin 175 Optimax best cruise is around the same as the 150s . I think I will save the $ and go the 200s in either merc or suzuki depending on price. Can’t wait to get back into 4 strokes.
