Got a rib here that has had nothing but engine troubles since we got it, should be ready this spring though... we'll be doing a bit of sharking in it this summer.. I do hope we don't hook a tuna by accident... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bloody dogfish!! Can be a pain mate.. Stripped the engine down and serviced, but when rebuilt the gearing wouldn't engage, my brother had done the service (he's the mechanical one out of us 2) now at the marine yard as its a bit of a job to sort...boats are a constant cost and an occasional pleasure!!

My old mate out of Exmouth died 2 weeks ago, Mike Baker, good skipper and a decent fella.. Not so much sharking out of Exmouth mate, this is a trip with a night out after, digs etc... I took my old man Alderley on a 3 day trip nearly 20 years ago, he's not a keen angler but loves the trip and social...so Exmouth would be a bit low par considering my brother lives there.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
