REEL 2 MEAL! - Red Emperor, Coral Trout & a 1980's Cruise Craft Revival!

[@markspalding6092]

Bloody well done again! Not a bad box of fish for a poor trip! How good did that meal look that Snez prepared! Bet it went down well! Hats of to the young bloke for the cruise craft restoration, out there & into without costing an arm and a leg!

[@OBM1770]

Thanks for watching. Appreciate you commenting too. They are a bloody very capable boat! 👌🍻

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely ep and area and fish and tucker guys nice work, It take a lot of time on the water to crack the code on new areas, Love the old Cruise craft. My first bot at 15 years old I bought a 16' 6" Cruise craft Regal, I Pro line fished with my dad and older brother, We camped on the beach up Fraser Is beach launched near Waddy Pt in the 80s with it, and did the same off DI beach, we camped in DI bay launched off the beach there fished out to 30miles

[@OBM1770]

That’s bloody awesome mate. Do you happen to know Peter Guymer? He is a older mate who pro fished off Fraser back in the day?

[@craigtomkinson2837]

@@OBM1770 The name rings a bell, there was a chap with a green 18ft shark cat from the tweed, there was Wayne Hening with his mate with twin alloy cats around 17ft, there was a chap with a active alloy 18ft plate boat towed with a yellow trayback HJ45 or 7 with a chevy 327 in it and auto, and Terry hassel from NSW with a 21ft active alloy, we all camped on the beach, there could been more who had bloks there,

Thanks for watching mate! Was a bloody good feed! 👌

[@richardpickersgill3434]

I still have my 16ft cruisecraft rebel v16. I bought it in about 1975 second hand with a 135 evinrude. It got dryrot in it a few years later. Gutted it out, masonite floor can you believe!. Anyway sold the motor, and I still have the shell in the cow paddock. With kids and building house I was off the water for 30 odd years. I swore I'd never wash my boat with fresh water again. Hence I bought a yank boat, 10 years ago no timber structurally.

[@richardpickersgill3434]

Oh, and the cuts in the gunnel rubber are from the 90lb hand lines we used back in the day 😀

[@OBM1770]

Cool story mate thanks for sharing. That is one of the reasons I went with a Noosa Cat. The 1993 Kevlar Cat I had previously had the floor rot as well. Expensive operation to fix. The Noosa Cat is all glass. 👌

[@richardpickersgill3434]

@@OBM1770 oh, i didn't know that about the Noosa cat. What year though? I did drive down to brisvegus when i was looking. It was 2004 i think, 2400. It looked a bit neglected, so it put me off because of the wood thing.

[@GregoryMcDermott-p3b]

Don't take any more of the cutting board, go to Bunnings and buy a laminate shelf or 2 glue together with epoxy and keep it in the boat somewhere out of the way.... works a treat.👍👍👍👍👍

Those ETec’s are referred to as hand grenades. But good clean fuel and the leg oil changed every 50 hours, I’ve seen them do 3000+ hours

Great channel guys! What type of electronic knife sharpener are you using?

[@OBM1770]

Thanks mate! It’s called a ‘Ken Onion’ belt sharpener! Not cheap but one of our KZbin family put us on to them. Great for me as a little time poor to be sitting over a stone. Quick & easy to put a decent edge on em! 👌

Yep, in Mackay and fight the depths. Do you buy the vac seal bags premade at that size? where do you get them.

[@OBM1770]

We buy ours in bulk lots off eBay. 10m rolls and you make them up to suit the size you like. 👌

[@markbrowne4750]

Buy a thicker piece of cutting board put into tray when filleting takeout when fishing

[@georgemotor5860]

I wreck and sell boats and outboards,seen a lot of f/glass boats under the floor and transom,some manufactures should hang there head in shame,I have seen brown masonite under the floor like thick coffee/sludge,seen a lot of rebuilds using marine ply and exterior ply,sealed up properly better than new.,got 3 Etecs up the back 250,150,40 hp cant sell gotta give some warranty,so selling as parts only,seen grown men cry over OMC/bRP products,cant beat a f/glass boat for rideability and safety,cheers George

Hi mate. Can you tell about your knife sharpener? Looks great. Where did you get it ?

[@OBM1770]

One of our community recommended it to me. Suits me as I’m usually too time poor to sharpen on a stone. Literally takes 5 minutes. It’s called a ‘Ken Onion’ Knife sharpener. We bought ours from Amazon but other viewers have said you can now get them from Trade Tools here in Oz. Not cheap but seam to be quality. Spare belts are widely available on Amazon or eBay. I may have a link in the description.
