Tinny mods | The ultimate fishing platform is the new Stessco Tripper.

[@WildReaches]

Forgot to add that the foam flooring was boat flooring from Emega Online. On EBay.

[@brendansmith8420]

Hey mate cracking build. Should mount a solar panel under the lid of the gull wing door. Leave it open when driving. Or docked

[@NVSawsomeness]

A mate of mine has a big strip of black poly garden edge riveted around the front deck because he was tired of licking pliers and lipgrips over the front. It also catches a lot of wind and water whipping up over the front of the boat that you would otherwise catch in the face. Also costs next to nothing. Couple rivets, some silicone and the garden edging is all you need each time you need to replace it and he seems to get about 2 years out of it.

[@jordanalexander5202]

Hey mate how has the sea deck on the gunnels held up?

[@WildReaches]

@@jordanalexander5202 amazing mate. Hasn’t peeled at all. 👌🏼

[@sonndrewebber1093]

Hey mate, cracker build. I'm looking to buy the same roll of foam. Do you have a link by any chance? I can't find them for the life of me. They might have disappeared since

[@craigdargie6929]

Jeez Nath, you've been bloody busy. The boat seems perfect. So much storage and room to move. And the trailer is tough as nails. You shouldn't have any problems in the future with this set-up. Have a great trip.

[@WildReaches]

I hope not Craig, about to put it thru it’s paces 🤙🏼

[@tonypaine4958]

As a small boat owner, I appserlutly jealous of your work. Just awesome 👌 mate

[@odes20]

Great to watch. One thing i have done differently is close up that gap between the floor and the rear seat. That gap for us always had stuff falling under the seat. We added a little panel down to the floor on the front side of the seat, allowing a small gap so water can easily flow thru, from the floor, but not knives, sinkers etc.

[@WildReaches]

Yeah iv thought about that. I think I agree that should’ve been closed.

[@craiglieberman5048]

Congrats guys! It's been incredible how far your channel has come (and how quick)since the first episodes! So looking forward to season 6!

Thanks Craig. That’s inspiring mate

[@CoastalChaosAdventures]

nice work mate i'm sure the next adventure in this little weapon will be EPIC!!

[@lachlanwilliams3234]

Great build video, some great ideas. I did a similar build last year but used 5083 grade 3mm Al plate for the floor, then covered it in 5mm Ultralon Z-tread, Al angle/RHS for deck frame. No wood, no dirty/wet/mouldy carpet. I did the stats and it worked out to be a similar weight to ply and a much more durable option, and not a heap more expensive. Let me know if you want some details/pics for your next build. Also curious to know if your gutter system works to keeps the hatches dry? Keep the vids coming, you're living the dream!

[@jonbrown6029]

Awesome build, looking at doing my own now. Just wondering how you get the rods in and out of the rod holders? I know it sounds dumb but i would like a demonstration to see if it would work with my tinny being slightly shorter.

[@WDMTAdventures]

What an absolute professional build Nath, I will be definitely copying your design when I get around to building my tinny. the only thing that I need to incorporate is a small side steering console as I have a very bad back and can't use a tiller steer outboard. I can't wait to see the next to episodes with the Quad bike and canopy review. Love your work mate.

[@WildReaches]

Thankyou Roger, nice to know people are enjoying this stuff. Hope you’re well mate

[@bilzahart9122]

Love the build fellas, got me inspired to build my own !!

[@johnsykes706]

Impressive fit out for using Bunnings and RTM fittings with no welds. Done alot of boats and this is mint. Next time though go to an aluminium supplier for your angle. Bunnings is ridiculously expensive for that stuff. Sorry, you just pointed that out. 👍

[@WildReaches]

Thanks mate. I always want to do these things in a way that all viewers can do too. Yep Bunnings is far too expensive for angle hey, blew me away

[@michaelbarling1197]

Great build. Can I ask the standard 3.79 tripper has a max HP of 20. Can you request the size of gunnels and height be increased to increase the max HP to 25 like you have done?

[@WildReaches]

I think that’s the idea. Every dealer can access the new Tripper with the high sides.

[@chris7643]

Nice job mate, neat and functional

[@milesabove5259]

Hey mate. You definitely need to seal the edges with sika, I’ve had issues where the parts I didn’t seal were shrinking and the glue separated from the foam. The edges that were sealed with sika have held tight. It was about 6 months to see the issues. The product is fine otherwise but needs the edge sealing.

[@WildReaches]

Thanks mate. I thought it would

[@D.s182]

Hey Bruz, I’m looking at purchasing one of those exact boats to show my 4 year old the fishing camping world. Would you agree the tripper is nice and stable?? Cheers Dan

100 percent mate. Such a stable good little boat.

[@michaelnelson912]

Nice build - I went looking for pictures from my similar tinny build 15 years ago, but I seem to have lost them! (Have to build another one...) I wonder how those compression locks will hold up to salt water? They might last better sprayed with a coating every now and then (Lanox or similar). Love the channels - and I'd love to hear how effective they are at keeping the water out. That's always been the biggest challenge I've found with hatches made of plywood. Michael

[@anthonywhite5353]

Hey mate, not sure if I missed it on the video or not. How did you attach the upright bits of ply to the original seat. Cracking build BTW

[@WildReaches]

Sika Flex and screws

Did you use stainless steel hindges and screws ect? Also did you use sealed rivets or just standard open with plenty of sikka? Ps ya got another subscriber 🤙

[@brendanlyons3938]

I may have missed it but what length is she ? Love your work!

[@WildReaches]

3.79 mate 👌🏼

[@bradenaskin1237]

Without the wide gunnels, do you think you would need some sort of vertical support on the front deck? Looking to do somthing similar, just concerned that there might be too much flex without some sort of center vertical support - or is the middle horizontal support where you or the piano hinge strong enough?

[@AusAdventure]

The tinny is sweet but that trailer is awesome.
