Maverick Martin

Matt Paul will need to answer this one as I haven't got a clue, hopefully he will see this Martin

Been there once when the weather was glorious until the tide was full chat then we couldn't go anywhere on the banks and could only fish the fingers, tide died away then flat and fishable again. It certainly is a strange place and at times not for the feint hearted Martin

What a crap reel

That's reely good, what lb do you set the lever drag

I am running 64bit and have no problems viewing vids or pics

Hole shot for me was very noticeably better exactly as described in the wsf thread. The ability to keep on the plane at lower speed without having to keep constantly playing with the throttle is also a boon My prop is stainless steel I never even considered an ally option. Tom at prop sols got the spec almost spot on first time although I might get the prop repitched to 17" as when the boat is fully loaded can only get 4200rpm instead of the 4500rpm. Re pitching by 1" will give us even better hole shot and better cruising in the rough stuff Martin

Steve I hope it all goes well and keeps the slime at bay Martin

Yeh he only asked how much......oooh ahhh ummm twice

Rob more like long haul up that hill

But Terry I don't eat Launce rare steaks are much better

Adam AWOL has a 4 bladed prop. Last prop I was running was a 14.25" dia by 21deg 3 blade we now have a 15.25" by 18deg pitch 4 blade prop The main benefit for me is the ability to cruise at lower speed (yeh yeh go on you lot take the pee ) without falling off the plane so easily. Hole shot is much more aggresive and for me top end is higher though I would say this is because my old prop was carp. I do though suffer from more prop torque so need to use more trim tab or move some kit around. Would I go back to three blades? definately not with this boat.

Just a little excited then Craig

I nominate you to contact them

Charlie it's not the salt that does gel coat damage it's the sun so if this years anything like last I'll have no worries about the bloom reappearing

I'm still getting ready (slowly) Engine and leg service booked crewed up and eager to get over there Need to sort out my tackle though and some of it's not a pretty sight....must be an excuse for new Martin

I can only do the Sunday so will miss you guys Martin

Mark, I use a polishing machine (not a cheap orbital there a waste of time) with G3 on a sponge head then polish put on by hand and buffed off with a mop on the machine then wax by hand laced with copious amounts of elbow grease. It takes a serious amount of time ie a day per side once a year but worth it. The moral of this story is dark hulled boats can be hard work but worth it when their shiney Martin

Yes Derek it should although I can edit the content I haven't yet worked out how to change the title Martin
