But it sure helps

Thanks mate! Just pick your days and you’ll be fine 👍

Pick your days, know how to drive a boat in shit weather and have a good bitey prop. I have a 2020 420 with a F60 tiller steer but I've balanced the boat perfectly for one person fuel/ gear/tackle and ice. (If the weight isn't equally spread the performance is terrible with the blade hull). I got caught in 44kmph+ south Easter blowing against the tide with some residual swell coming home once. Could of easily capsized if I didn't think about what I was doing and really work the tiller, throttle and trim. The boat does surf down waves nicely but its literally on a knife edge. The nose does have plenty of lift but going against a strong current you've got to use the throttle but slow down enough to not launch off the top of waves.... Always wear a life jacket, kill cord and have a personal epirb if solo. I've known of three 420s that have been flipped, generally coming back with a loaded esky 😆

@@chrisoh6627 keep the weight centred and aft of amidships i have a 5metre centrecab and have beendown the mine twice at harrington the first time we broached in a following sea my fault not trimming the motor out second time similar but in a washing machine sea with no pattern to the waves same place i just backed it up the wave and im still here ive been on the ocean all my life and it is always unpredictable and every boat is different regards😊😊😊

Thanks mate! It’s definitely a seaworthy vessel

Bring em on!

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks mate! 2 hours on the way out It was a pretty good run, only the last 10 mile it started getting sloppy

Thanks mate 🤙

Its a rolling gaff insert and hang on to the rope if the fish rolls over it doesnt break your wrist you can mke one from 10or20mill stainless bar and an hour with an oxy torch cost less than a game supplies shop easy then out with the anlgle grinder and sharpen her up let it cool naturally dont quech it as it can make it brittle regards

40hp.... saw it at the end

Thanks mate! They’re hook’em 11 foot outriggers with the flush mount bases, rigged with 550lb mono cause the standard rigging kit they come with is pretty shit.

Expensive ones 😊

Yes should bleed them first

Thanks mate, it’s an awesome vessel only wish it were a bit bigger, a 460 would be perfect 👌

@@BowieDibden nothing better then big fish small boats

Get a 3 to 4 day weather window and go in the middle. More horsepower and less weight the better. Carry extra fuel though...

Mercury 40hp four stroke

@@BowieDibden good motor i run a 60bigfoot with a four blade 14x11spitfire holds the boat in a sea better than a 3blade and much better control and holeshot 6.5litres per hour 😊😊

@@BowieDibdenis it the CT or normal 40? Enough power?

He had a waist mounted pfd on if you look 🙂
