Thanks mate 👍🏻

Glad it helped 👍🏻

Exactly - it’s nice to look good but as long as it works and gets through the windlass

Pleasure, glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

Glad it was helpful 👍🏻

Quite possibly 👍🏻

Thank you - it’s all about having a routine and sticking to it. Don’t forget the bung!! 👍🏻

It’s a good machine, very clear and not an overly expensive unit

Hi Andy, well… would I recommend a small boat? Yes! 100%. But, you need to do your research, take small steps at a time and take time to learn how the boat / sea / your skills all work together. Legally there is not too much to do, just a VHF course for your marine radio. I would also suggest an RYA powerboat level 2 course. The cheapest way to keep a boat is on your drive or a piece of land away from the marina and launch each time. Factor in a trailer and tow car though… In theory if you are handy you can do any work needed yourself servicing the engine etc. In short, boats are a lifestyle - do some research and get a good hull with the best engine your budget allows. Enjoy! Ed

@@Suffolksportsfishing thank you ED i had my own business i was a motor mechanic for over 30+ years so engine wise should be ok still respray the odd accident repair so doing an old boat up not a problem it was just knowing the procedures of if i had to pay or tell someone at the Harbour that i am launching a boat i can take the vhf test just thought there was more to it but thanks for the advise really appreciate stay safe buddy 👍👍👍👍 Andy Halesworth Suffolk👍👍👍

Thank you - hope it was helpful

If that’s an issue with your unit then I would be sending it back ASAP. It sounds like either the unit is faulty or you need to retrace your wiring to make sure every connection is spot on. It might be ok at home where the boat isn’t moving / rocking on the water which might be enough to make a bad connection.

Pleasure - glad it helped

Hi mate, mine was an 85 or 86 model. The older ones are heavier lay up than the newer ones. A 90s one will be good, although check the floor and the transom for soft spots. Both can be fixed by unless you can do it yourself can run into big bucks. A 50hp will get it on the plane but will struggle with a bit of load and a couple of people on. I would say you want a 60hp minimum. 👍🏻 Very good little boats and will tackle anything you throw at it… you’ll give up before the boat does 👍🏻

@@Suffolksportsfishing cheers mate yea I’m hands on like yourself thanks for the info just found your channel nice new boat 👍 apparently it’s had a new deck so il take a look at it … hope the weather is better than here in Padstow 👍👍

@fishingpadstowcornwall2433 nice mate, they are great boats. Really good fun and feel a lot bigger than they are. You’ll have loads of fun. New boat is a slightly different kettle of fish but it’s for a different purpose. I loved my Alaska and will likely have another one at some point to tow about

@@Suffolksportsfishing yea looks nice I have an idea what your going to do 👀 good luck with it mate you seem dedicated if it’s anything like here they earn good money in the season 👍👍

Been doing it now for 6 months - it’s good fun and I’m enjoying it. Busier than I expected but all good! Cheers mate and let me know if you have any questions about the alaskas, I got to know mine quite well 👍🏻

Thanks Simon. It’s busier than I could have expected so far! Exciting times though and all good fun. More than welcome aboard 👍🏻

@@Suffolksportsfishing well I’ve joined the WhatsApp group so I’ll keep my eyes and ears open and book on when I can mate

Hi mate, I have been busy with the charters so haven’t been able to put videos together at the same time. Gav has been out a couple of times, fishing hasn’t been great this winter though so not a great deal to report. Sure he will get back on camera soon 😀

Early days still, good to see a couple around and feeding though

Thanks mate, it’s been a lot busier than i anticipated but all good fun and enjoying it!

Thanks mate, been hectic with the charters and not been ‘socially’ fishing to be able to make videos. The bolts have worn away over time, helped by my bobble hat 😂😂

Hi, I bought 5kg of flocoat (topcoat) and had a small amount left over 👍🏻

Hi glad it helped out. That’s just the way I did it, sure there are other ways. Your Elite should be fine on 6 rollers - they are tough and the rollers should self-centre the boat on the trailer. If you are beach launching and it’s a calm day, you could push the boat off the trailer in the shallows with a longish line attached to the bow. Then pull it up the beach so it holds itself. Lose the car up the beach, get on the boat in the shallows and then motor in reverse off the beach with the engine trimmed up? Just another idea 👍🏻

Thanks for the reply@@Suffolksportsfishing

Glad to have helped out 👍🏻

Hi mate, I think it was 12mm off the top of my head.

Hi i was not sure as you said you used 9mm strips and 12mm over the top thats all,

Hi, as far as I’ve experienced it’s been great. My chassis has no more rust on it at all, it would appear it hasnt spread any further than it was already. Not sure it can improve where there is rust already, but it stops it getting worse 👍🏻

Cannot wait!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Makes the pair of us!! All booked up going out of Falmouth at end of June.💪 🦈

Hello from Greece. I was wondering how many liters of oil were needed in total? Thanks for the videos

Glad it helped mate and saved trying a new lead 👍🏻

Thanks mate, was a good day out 👍🏻

👍🏻

Glad it helped out mate 👍🏻

👍🏻

Good plan, we shot the nets on the new boat for the first time this season and the extra deck space allowed us to do it like this. It also meant we could put the net straight back into the net box ready to shoot again! 👍🏻

@@Suffolksportsfishing excellent. I hope you ate some of your herring. They are tasty. I fillet them and roll the fillets, stick a cocktail stick in to keep them in shape. Place in a Pyrex dish. Make up a mix of brown vinegar and water to cover them. Add a few bay leaves, black and white pepper corns, herbs de province. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes. We call it potted herring. Tasty!

Glad it was helpful

Hi, yes once the cod are here I will be doing sessions targeting cod. If you are on Facebook have a look at ‘Suffolk sports fishing’ alternatively drop me a message or WhatsApp on 07742430337 - Ed

Hi mate, with my 70hp and trimmed up nicely I got over 30knot. I could get her on the plane at 11/12 knots and would cruise anywhere between 15-20 perfectly and economically

But I’ve just realized you have commented on a video on my friends boat with a 60hp on… that one does about 26knots with similar cruising speeds as I wrote above

Cheers mate appreciate it 👍

Glad it was helpful, appreciate the message 👍🏻

You can eat the roe (eggs) 👍🏻

@@Suffolksportsfishing okay. Thank you so much. Please how to I cook them. And what of the fish head ? Is it okay to eat too?

Thanks buddy - glad you enjoyed 👍🏻

Hello, lots of little fish at pin mill. I used to fish there a lot when I had a mooring there. Your tender will get you into the shallows opposite side of the river from the butt and oyster. Maybe troll your lure at 1.5/2knots behind the tender and set your drag!!

Hopefully it was helpful mate and makes your launches easier for you 👍🏻 the wheels should lock up and save your car getting too wet if it all goes wrong!

Johnson 70hp, same as Suzuki
